WE had a pleasant chat a few days ago with
Mr. David H. Schmidt, the hammer coverer, of
312-314 East 22d street. He reports a cheery
condition of affairs in his factory. For the past
two weeks orders have filed in so rapidly he is
compelled to keep a large staff of men working
overtime to keep up with the demand. It is
pleasant to see the son of an old-time worker in
the piano field starting out with such good pros-
pects on his own account. For some time Mr.
Schmidt has been hampered in the sole manage-
ment of his business, but now that matters are
arranged he proposes to move right along and
make a record.
A NEW and improved method for welding
aluminum has been discovered, and has proved
so satisfactory that when subjected to a severe
strain in testing the welded joint proved of
greater strength than the pure metal. The weld-
ing preparation is called a solder, though, prop-
erly speaking, it is not an alloy or solder, but a
substance that unites with the pieces of metal
to be welded, as it were, fusing them together.
The use of aluminum has been restrained by the
STAflPS!
