turning out only four hundred squares per day. The same number of men can now turn out twenty-two thousand sgua_._ej per day with the modern machines now used by the- Weaver-Henry Mfg. Co.

Mr. Henry has been associated with the Pioneer Paper Company for the past twenty years and has been vicepresident and general manager of that firm during the latter ten years of this period. He has had very extensive experience in the manufacture of roofing and has btudied the production methods of practically every large plant in the East. He is generally conceded to be one of the foremost authorities in the industry, having been the first to dcvelop the reinforced roof, which has supplanted practically all other types of roofing on the Coast-.

In the early days of roofing manufacture on the Pacific Coast, the machines in use at that time were capable of t-fHE long double reenforcement of the I legs, extra laqge wheel forks and spin' dles forged atl in one piece, gusseted deck frames, and heavy gtiPP.r shoes-all make for a sturdy strength that maintains the Villamette Carrier at highest efficiency day after day. Yet with all its practical strength, there is a resrarkable tlexibility that allows for uneven decks and rough country roads with ro strain on the Po*er Plant.

The Weaver Roof Co. has long been known for its fine, up-to-date plant, but since the formation of the WeaverHenry Mfg. Co., production facilities will be trebled. These new improvements will enable them to take care of a very large volume of business.

In addition to the plant improvements, the company intend to erect a fine administration building for tlre plant on Slauson Avenue, in the near future.

Weave-r policies, amplified_ by lhe manufacturing and merchandising experience of Mr. Henry, assures thJtrade of splendid roofing products, prompt and accurate service.

Sylvester L. Weaver will be President and Wm. Ifenrv will be Vice-President and General Manager of the WeaveiHenry Mfg. Co.
