 are uninjured. The cotton hose factory is now in operation, 

 making 30,000 feet of fire hose for the city of S n Franci.seo. 

 Our Chicago stock of mechanical rubber is being rushed to 

 the coast, and we have closed up our Chicago distributing 

 depot. All our customers in the middle West will be sup- 

 plied from our California warehouse. Our new factor}', 

 which has been building since last November at Black Dia- 

 mond, California, is nearly completed. The buildings are 

 reinforced concrete, and the machinery will be operated by 

 electric motors. Everything will be thoroughly up-to-date, 

 and we expect the new factory to be in operation in from 60 

 to 90 days. Fortunately we were owing very little, and are 

 well insured and can go on in business whether the insur- 

 ance is paid or not ; but as our policies are in the best for- 

 eign companies, we expect to collect the full amount for 

 which they were written.
