REVERES NEW REFINERY 



In its annual statement to stockholders, 

 just issued, the United Fruit Company an- 

 nounces that it is expected that the new re- 

 finery which the Revere Sugar Co. is building 

 at Charlestown, on the Mystic River, will be 

 completed and in operation by June, 1918. 



The new refinery will have a daily capacity of 

 3,500 barrels of refined sugar. It is the com- 

 pany's intention, when the new plant is com- 

 pleted, to abandon the old one, which it 

 holds on lease. The stock of Revere is owned 

 jointly by the United Fruit and Nipe Bay 

 Companies. ^MMM^MjM^
