ZENITH'S NEW CABINET WORKS.
Plant No. 3, in Chicago, which contains Zenith's
new cabinet works complete with the most modern
of woodworking machinery, representing a cost of
$250,000 wherein Zenith will hereafter manufacture its
own cabinets, drew the cynosure of attention from
many recent visitors. Individual operations in the
making of a cabinet were shown to have been reduced
to a minimum with the cabinet proceeding in line
from the time the wood enters the first machine until
it is turned out at the end of the line, a complete
unit. Many of the machines are almost human in
operation, accomplishing work in a few minutes that
could not be done satisfactorily by hand in many-
hours.
