By HERMAN W. WILCOX
(President)
At a luncheon, introducing
Mr. Edward U Nung, new dir
ector of operations, the Inter
national Resistance Corpora
tion announced another expan
sion for this year which will
be 29000 square feet.
This expanaion is to be built
as soon as the architect can
complete the plans and con
tracts let, and should be ready
for use by November this year.
As soon as this new unit is
finished, they will be placing
additional people on their pay
rolls, but explained that no ap
plications would be considered
at this time. The expansion
came about by their decision
to produce another new pro
duct, which will be iqade in
the Boone plant. Mr. Nung
paid high respect to Boone, the
people who work in their plant,
and their present staff.
. He explained out of $5,000,
000 set aside for expansion this
year, the Boone plant was re
ceiving 18% of that total, and
since the Boone plant only re
presents 12% of their overall
employment, he considered we
were getting a good break.
It was predicted that by 1968
they would have over 400 peo
pie employed.
