It was manufac tured by the Safford com pany at the plant near Burnsville and was consig-i ned to the - U. S. Navy de-| partment. The/company was estab-i lished here in March 1941, and is headed by Col. Jam ies D. Safford who is a re serve in the U. S. Field I Artillery. The company manufae ;tures deausei/Droducts and has been ttfesighafed as a manufacturer of war mat erials.

The glass grade cyanite will also be largely used in furthering the war effort. Cyanite is used as an es sential ingredient in spec ial high-alum,inous-low al kali glasses that are need ed by the chemical and oth er industries. A large amount of gar net will be produced as a bf-product. The garnet jthis deposit is unusually hard and has been successfully used in a wide number of industrial grinding applications. Research work will be carried on to find uses for other by-products which at ! present have no value. The development of these by products will be, particular ly important in establish ing the project as a per manent industry that will survive after the war. the product, and the state of Georgia has made ex tensive purchases. The basic material of the cleanser is the finest grade North Carolina feldspar. Thus the manufacture of * i the products is not hamp ! ered or slowed , down be cause o f transportation difficulties since the raw material is found here in unlimited quantities. The main office of the company is Locate! in Bur nsville and the manufac turing plant at Bowditch. adjacent to the plant of the Feldspar Milling Com pany. Both the plant building and the machin ery for manufacture are adequate to take care of the increased demand whi ch now seems certain to ' continue.
