surface under it. What would yotflad- 

 vise along this line? The expansion 

 tank is located in the furnace room, and 

 is eight feet six inches above the flow 

 pipe at the boiler. Our fuel is bi- 

 tuminous coal. J- L. B. 



The house 10x30 feet should have sev- 

 en lines of 2-inch radiation and the 

 house 14x30 feet should have eight lines, 

 for the temperature you mention. The 

 boiler in question will not be sufficiently 

 modified in capacity by the alteration 

 you suggest to justify the expense. The 

 boiler you have should give the service 

 required in all ordinary weather; it may 

 not hold up when severe weather con- 

 tinues. Your plant should have about 

 300 square feet of radiation and the 

 boiler you have should be capable of 

 supplying 340 to 350 .square feet. I 

 believe you had best give it a trial on 

 the new basis suggested. Raise the ex- 

 pansion tank and connect it with the 

 main return near the boiler by means of 

 a %-inch pipe. L. C. C, 



IONIA, MICH. 



The visit of twenty florists of Lansing, 

 Grand Rapids and Muskegon to Ionia 

 April 22 was a pleasant incident brought 

 about through the enterprise of the Ionia 

 Pottery Co. Several of the gentlemen ar- 

 rived at noon, but most of them came 

 at 3:40, and were let off at the prison 

 station, where for an hour they were 

 shown through the state institution. 



At about 4:30 the party came down- 

 town under the escort of President Fred 

 Cutler, Jr., and Secretary Harvey Kid- 

 der, of the Ionia Pottery Co., being taken 

 to the plant. They were started in at the 

 clay pile and shown through the entire 

 institution. They made an inspection of 

 all the departments— pressing, drying, 

 burning in the modem kilns. Then 

 through the large new warehouse, which 

 at this time is not largely stocked owing 

 to the extensive spring trade, but which 

 is being put in shape for fall manu- 

 facture now under way. After a visit 

 to the shipping department they were 

 taken upstairs, where the veteran potter, 

 George Horseman, who has been with the 

 company thirty years, was molding by 

 hand the big lawn vases, and from there 

 to the wire department. 



The wire department is a new ven- 

 ture vdth a bright outlook. Here all 

 kinds of wire frames and wire baskets 

 are made and, although the company has 

 not yet issued a catalogue covering the 

 department, orders are coming in from 

 all over the country. 



Arriving at the Bailey house at 6 

 o'clock, the party was entertained at 

 dinner, after which six or eight loc^ 

 automobiles were enlisted into service and 

 the party given an hour's spin about 

 town, leaving for home at 8:10. Those 

 in the party at the Bailey were the fol- 

 lowing florists:
