BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C., NOVEMBER 15, 1945 I * SUPPORT THE VICTORY DRIVE AND BRING OUR BOYS HOME Millions of homes are waiting for the millions of our boys and . girls who have been too long away. : We must bring them back quickly, with every attention to their needs. Travel is costly; it’s an expense we’ll gladly pay. We cannot pay our debt to them we can only do our best. Our hun ! dreds of thousands of youngsters who face a future beset with hand i icaps look to us for help. Our poor answer is that anything mon ey can buy is theirs —hospitaliza- tion, treatment, artificial limbs, vocational training—and our well documented guarantee that their suffering must insure that Amer ican children will face a better future. There are thousands of Amer ican boys who will need medical care. This means the expenditure of many millions of dollars in the next year. These obligations must be made.

The company, in addi ’ tion, supplies almost every con -1 tractor in Western North Carolina. The demand for sand and stone here is about 100 per cent greater ! than in 1941, according to R. Lee Ellis, president, general manager, and principal stockholder of the company. , This demand has been created by s new construction and planned con struction in the area.

Each one of the new trucks can handle about five times as much stone and sand in the same length of time as the smaller trucks used previously. The dumping opera tion of the new trucks with loads of from 12 to 15 tons requires only one and one-half minutes com pared with two and one-half min utes required for the older ones with five-ton loads. The company has a total of 11 trucks, five of which are used in the pits and six of which are used to haul to the railroad and to de liver to customers. The plant, which now has a ca pacity of from 100-125 tons per hour, requires 18 men for its op eration. In addition there are five truck drivers hauling stone and sand from the plant, five pit driv ers (drivers who haul stone and sand from the pit to the crusher), and three shovel operators. Another large conveyor belt to handle sand has been ordered. Plans are being made to change the sand operation so that when the bin becomes full, instead of having to transfer some cf the sand by truck, by the throwing of a switch it can be automatically dumped in the pit. Due to a heavily increased de mand for Dunbrik, it was neces sary to add a steam-heated curing oven which will cut the timr re quired for the curing process by two-thirds and allow it to be car ried out during the winter which was impossible before, Mr. Ellis said. The Grove Stone and Sand com pany is now in its 21st year of op eration. Let’s finish the job—Bonds Bonds!! Bonds!!
