ning is the president, have opened up j
another plant in Kans.is City, Kansas. ,

ritory to another company, and hold
a one-tenth interest in the same, with
a royalty on all the pipe manufactured
by the new company. The product j
put out by the Keystone company is j
without a single exception the best
for all underground piping that has
ever been placed on the market, and is
meeting the demands for all purposes.
The home company at Union have
been kept busy since they began the
manufacture of this pipe and as the
product becomes better known the
business increases. It was a success
from the start, but many improve
ments have been made as the business
grows. Other factories will no doubt
be established as the business and de
mand grows for this quality of piping.
