Glascock & Son, foundrymen, and the Patriot is pleased to know that their business continues to grow and expand, being much more extensive now than at any previous time in Its history. They have recently added to their equipment a lot of high-grade machin ery which enables them to add some new departments to their business. Heretofore they have been devoting their time and attention strictly to foundry work, but they are now doing a special line of job work and general repairing of all kinds of machinery, such as cotton mill machinery, ; engines, boilers, etc., etc. They are also manu facturing wood-working machinery of various kinds. The increased facilities of the concern have cost the Messrs. Glascock a considerable outlay of cap ital, but It Is safe to presume they will be repaid by a growing patronage and an increased demand for their output. They are to be congratulated on the success that has attended them In their, efforts to build up a business strictly first-class in every respect. The goods turned out by this firm have a wide reputation, but they hae been special ly successful in building up a large trade on their celebrated stoves-and feed cutters. .We are Informed that they are now behind on their orders for these lines.
