29 Many Thousands of Yards of Silks and Satins Used if to Cover Boxes and Cases ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AKD CHRONICLE, SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1020. Manufacture of Cases to Hold Articles Only Small Part of Business of Alderman, Fairchild Co. Our Payroll Has Increased Nearly $16,000,000 Within a Year The world war slackened the demand for paper boxes, and the Alderman, Faiirhild Company, like other Koches-tiT industries, diverted part of its operation, to' war manufacture, lirodueiug paper caps for shells. These were supplied to the Symington Company fop its shells, the Fddystone Munitions Company ami of her shell, manufacturers. The paper caps kept the rust from the threads of the shells, which were Usually shipped in two parts.

Congestion of Rails Annoying. The conclusion of the war was followed by a tremendous demand for perfumery ami candy boxes. Since then people generally have been making more money than they ever did before and have been heavy buyers of cosmetics, candy and other luxury products. The company found itself confronted with many serious problems in the maintaining of production which would meet, the demand of customers. The congestion of the rails has been most annoying, holding up supplies of raw materials aud making shipments of finished products unsatisfactory.

The paper situation has grown steadily worse, and only through great resourcefulness and constant vigi-lauco has the company been able to obtain adequate supplies of paper aud board. Often its representative hav gone to mills to make purchases and stink there for days before they obtained what they wanted. I'aper shortage has been aggravated hyuhe high cost, of lumber. I'aper board is now being employed more ttu(j extensively in place of lumber and has threatened thff slocks drawn on by box manufacturers. Similarly, more and more shipping containers are being built of paper and fewer and fewer of lumber.

Tho wall-board used in building con-struclion, is never reclaimed, it -withdrawal from the paper market depletes the supply Tb National I'aper Itox Alanufai-tur-crs' Association is now leading a tight, for paper conservation and is developing propaganda for the enlistment of Hoy Seoul us paper savers, asking that the troops collect all waste paper iu the streets and elsewhere and I urn it into channels for reclamation. The Alderman, Fairchild Company is now receiving more for waste puper than it used to Pay for now material, which illustratea the price to which new paper has gone. Machines Decrease Costs. visitor at the On-hard street plant ftf the company sees special machinery doing work letter than it can he doue by hand ami at surprisingly rapid kimhhI. The engineers have developed machinery for certain phase of puper box production at.

this plant which are accomplishing huge savings over the previous" methods of niiiiiiirai'tiire. The visitor stops at a sthall pres and is astonished to see it doing an embossing in color that seems utilieliev cable. A slrifi of paper is placed over a lace-powder box cover. A hot die of this inlays a desigu and through a clever- manipulation of ink rolls colors the background of the embossed figure The loose paper about this desigu press-id into the cotier is brushed off by young women cmplojed at this' work. The embossed designs unit colorings wrought hy this machine at a rapid rate add to the beauty of numerous cosmetic boxes seen under manufacture at various parts of the plant.

The machine, which wns developed bv the romuany, is doing this work for one Fourth for what it was done for by a New- York company which has been in that business for loore than tidy years It is an achievement that is most gratifying to (he engineers at the Paper Bought in Big Rolls. Pnpor is nought hy the company in nig' WITHIN a year our payroll obligations in this state have increased nearly $16,000,000 $11,800,000 for wage increases and $4,100,000 for additional workers brought into our organization. We now have over 36,000 men and women on our payroll in this state. These employees are engaged in a vitally important home industry. in the communities they serve.

Many of them are your neighbors. They spend their money here for food, clothes, rent, amusements, just as you do. Their expenses have increased just as yours have, and we have helped them to meet the higher cost of living. Nearly fifty-six cents of every dollar of revenue received in this State go to our employees and from them to their home communities. The large increase in our payroll expense has been accompanied by further increases in the cost of all telephone materials and a greatly increased demand for new facilities.

As a consequence our expenses have cut so deeply into our income that new rates for service are necessary; The new schedule of rates will not add materially to your telephone bill; it will produce only sufficient added income to meet present requirements of our business.
