about to organlxe a $3,000,000 glucose
con pany to operate a large plunt at
Sradyslde, N. J., independently of the
Glucose Sugar Refining Company or
any other company.
"The sole reason that we are going
Into this enterprise," explained Mr. Bed
ford. "Is that by means of new pro
cesses we believe that we can produce
an article superior to any up in the
market." .
The leading Inteiests back of the new-
company are understood to be H. H.
Roger. C, M. Pratt. William Rocke
feller and E. T. Bedford. The new plant
Is to have a capacity of 26,000 bush
els of corn a dly and this may be
doubled later. Thomas Gaunt will have
active charge of the operation of the
new enterprise.
The fac. that the backers of the new
coinpany selected a location in the East
Instead of near the great corn belt Is
viewed with much Interest by local glu
cose men. It has generally been con
tended that a Western location was
preferable.
The cheap rates on corn from Chi
cago, however, cintrast sharply with
the rati on glucose and It Is claimed
that on local business the advantage Is
rathr In favor of an Eastern plant. It
would appear that the new company
would probably leave Western markets
alone and devote Its energies to the
local and other nearby market and
especially to building up nn export
trade.
