According to the Nllcs-Bcmont-Fond Co., manufacturers of cranca and ma chinery, shops uro being extended, old (ind worn-out or antiquated machinery is being scrapped nnd replaced by up-to-date devices, and now shops nrc being erected to take caro of tho business that Is pouring in upon tho manufacturers. Tho crane department of this concern is especially busy, it is reported, as ma chinery of this tjpc is distinctly of u (labor-saving character. It ia to labor saving machinery that the manufac turers aro turning in their effort to in crease production. Cranes are larpo and exceedingly ex pensive pieces of machinery, but tho manufacturer report that this branch of their business is moro aetivo than any other ut this time. This increase In bhop capacity, re sulting In tho ercrtion of new buildings and tho extension of old onct, accord ing to S. .1. Reeves, vico president of tun 'Phoenix Bridge Co., is causing a tremendous volume of orders for struc tural Btccl of all sorts. All the big steel producing mills and the structural btccl mills have more business than they can conveniently handle. Tho Phoenix company recently bought one of the largest-typo cranes. This company Is using tho rrano at its coal reserve piles ut the rhocnixville plant to move tho fuel more quickly nnd eco nomically than before. William Sellers & Co., manufactur ers of a large line of machino tools of nil descriptions, report they ure running to capacity endeavoring to fill orders for machinery to replace worn-out equip ment nnd to equip properly tho now shops being built. The condition is gen eral throughout the trade, it is said. Tho only fly iu the ointment, accord ing to the Fairbanks Co., is the scarcity of raw materials aud the consequent delays in deliveries. Stocks are ul30 very short, as the machinery is sold as fast as it CHn be produced. J. Jacob Shannon &Co., who supply cranes and contractors' equipment of all sorts, report that manufacturers aro preparing for an even greater volump of buiines-s than they urn now handling. and this means but one thing, extension of present facilities and the introduc tion of the most modern equipment in mills and factories. The demand for labor-saving machinery, according to Shannon ffc Co.. is greater than over before.
