Large Contract For Gasoline Lamps

SUPERIOR MANUFACTURING CO. GETS THE ORDER

Will Bring $20,000 a Year to the Ann Arbor Firm - May Erect New Factory

H. H. Seeley, president of the Superior Manufacturing Co., has just returned from Chicago where he has closed a contract with Beckley Ralston Co. for a large order of gasoline lamps. Beckley Ralston Co. are the largest dealers in gasoline lamps in the world and are intending to make a specialty of the Ann Arbor lamp.

They will place traveling men on the road to push the goods not only in the United States but in Japan, India, and the Philippines. The Chicago firm guaranteed Mr. Seeley $20,000 in business for the next year and a large increase over that amount in the year following.

The Superior Manufacturing Co. have contracts with all of the leading jobbing houses in Michigan, Illinois and Indiana and are increasing their business daily.

This last contract will make it necessary to enlarge their factory. Within the next month they will either rent more commodious quarters than their present ones or else build a factory of their own, with double the capacity of their present one.

This company is a comparatively young concern but they have been more than successful from the start and are pushing themselves to the front very rapidly.
