THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThis celebrated institution, the largest of its kind in the universe, was established by the father of its renowned proprietors in 1850, and has now been in operation for over thirtytwo years. The magnitude of the works may be imagined from the fact of their covering eleven acres of land. The products of the works are glue, carbon, or animal charcoal, ammonia, phosphate manure, sulphuric acid, grease for soap, etc., the capacity being fifty thousand tons of phosphate, two thousand tons of ammonia, and four thousand barrels of glue. The works are fitted with all the necessary machinery for the business, and operated by forty steam engines of eight hundred-horsepower. Employment is given to six hundred operatives in the various departments of the works. An immense trade has been established over the entire United States, the State of Georgia alone taking twenty thousand tons of phosphate manure. The Company has every facility for shipping forty car loads per day, three steamboats, and five barges being brought into requisition. The great extent of the quantity of the manure taken for all purposes of agriculture is the most convincing argument of its superiority and great productive (qualities for every class of crops. The memuers of the firm are Alfred and Edwin Lister, well known throughout the country in conjunction with their trade. Carbon or animal charcoal is manufactured for sugar refineries, the trade being the heaviest in the country of anything in that line, and averaging nine thousand tons per annum. They also make twelve thousand tons of sulphuric acid, and are simply unexcelled in their line of specialties. Grease for soapmakers is furnished to the extent of fourteen thousand barrels per year. This looks like enterprise and success.
