The work cf enlarging the factory s now under way, and wbeu coa pleted the nain building will be 130 feet in length. A ring sixtyfeet long is also being added, and . large lumber warehouse will be built ia the ear of tbe factory. Tbe capacity of the factory, when the ad litioo8 shall be completed, will be two hon ked telephones a week. This does not me f bat tbe phones are merely put together in bis factory, the various parts being pur ihashed from various factories that make a usicess of supplying special parts to tele ibooe factories that" du nothing more than : ut the, parts together ad complete the ibones. In the Sumter factory every part is node from the crude tr ater ais. Every part s made and finished from start to finish, ^or instance, the n hgoets re made from bar tell, being bent i^io horse shoe shape in a pecial machine, designed and made by Mr Jason, and then magnetized. All he nickle plating and euaraelling lie work, milling and finishing are lone under Mr. Mason's supervision and a uperior class of telephone*, both long and hort distance, is the result.
