An indication of Valdosta's nat
ural advantages as a manufactur
ing and distributing center,
shown by the large number of big
concerns which aro hooking on to
this city. Few people in the town
realize the attention being given
the city by many of tho great firms,
though from the newspaper clip
pings wo reproduce below, other
cities realize what The Thomas
Grate liar Company, with its Thom
as Elliptic Grate liar means to the
cities in which the company
established plants.
The company and Its improved
grate bar is attracting tho atten
tion of people Interested In every
part of the world, and Valdosta
has received moro advertising from
this Invention than any other one
thing. It speakeg volumes for the
city.that this concern has Included
Valdosta in its. list of cities in
which plants will be erected and
~ operated.
Whilo th© main office of the com
pany will be at Birmingham, man

for some years past a great deal of
thought and study has been devoted
to minimising the cost of generat
ing steam. It being realized that
there there wag a vast waste in the
older methods. Tb e effect of con
cent ration of thought upon the «u?>»
Ject is reflected in a greater atten-
t'on given to the quality of the coal
used, proper firing of tho boilers,
and the construction of boilers and
boiler equiment along more scien
tific lines. As a result we now have
filers, superheaters, condensers
and other apparatus for preparing
the water for the boiler, automatic
systems for Btoking thorn and va
rious other improvements, all aim

Referring to the establishment of
the company at Birmingham, the
Birmingham ledger published the
following article:
“The Thomas Grate Bar Com
pany of Valdosta. Gn., has bought

ty-second street and Tenth avenue

Mr. Thomas reside* at Valdosta
now hut he will remove permanent

headquarter* aa It will bo the
chief point of tho manufacture of
the grate bar."
The Manufacturer** Record, one
of the great publications of the
country, and an authority on mat
ters of this kind, recently gave a
two-page article to a discussion of
the merits of The Thomas Grate
Bar. Here Is an extract:
"A • striking css*, t n point was the
perfection of an elliptic grate bar by
Ifr. Ed L. Thomas, of Valdosta, Ga.
ment in grate bars,
gave the subject close study and
investigation fo r a number of years
and as a result perfected a bar that
was a marked departure from the
old lines. This bar, which U con
structed of a superior mixture of
iron, bus met with unqualified suc
cess ever since it bag been on the
market about two years ago.
‘In addition to posseessing all
thu advantages of other grate bars
the Thomas elliptic is of scientific
construction, being made up of two
oppositely curved surfaces Joined to
g'-ther at icacb aide with spuclng
and connecting lugs of one-th;rJ
contact, leaving two-thirds
space. The top portion ot' the bar
is the fuel-supporting part, while
the bottom Is the bar, or unit, sup
porting part. The heat from tho top
portion of the bar will attempt to
equalize itself through these spac
ing and connectihg lugs into the
grntc-bnr unit, hut on acocunt
the excess air space around these
spacing and connecting lugs
culation of air from any and every
direction radiates the heat from
theso lugs and It 1b drawn up Into
the furnace. Thus'tho lower or hold
ing portion of tho bar never gets
hot, never crystalPzes, cannot break
but retains life and shape Indef
initely, and holds the grate-bar unit
In shape, preventing It from buck
ing, sagging, warping, twistihg or
by Vino]—Here la Proof.
>ymour, Ind.: "I was troubled
Itb a chronic stomach trouble and
e weeks ago it got so bad i had
to give up work. 2 bad tried various
'medicines without relief—and was
finally induced to try Vino!. After
patting the first bottle I was greatly
^benefited. Am now on the third bot
tle and ready to resume work. Am
rapidly gaining in weight and
strength." Edward' Nieman. (Wo
guarantee this testomonlal to -be
genuine.)
I t Is the curative medicinal
inputs of the cods’ livers, combined
.with the strengthening properties of
tonic Iron contained In Vinol which
makes it so successful in rasf.or.ng
perfect digestion and at the same
time it builds up the tired, over
worked and run-down system.
# th«
Is held In shape ev<
top or fueul support-
of the bar become-*
crystallized and fire-cracked. This
is an extremely valuable feature for
users of locomotives from the fnc»
that they are relieved from delayed
trains on account of broken bars
having become crystallized ami hro-
cracked from tho constant use, hut
remains Intact until some heavy
piece of wood i? thrown on to
crystnlized and weakened bar In
the starting of the’r fires, an
not detected until the engine
ready to go on its run, when
fire has to be drawn and a uew
put in Its place. With the Thomas
bar the only accident that happen
would bo a few- ribs knocked cut
and would not Interfere with the
bar being used until a convenient
time to replace. The only loss sus
tained would be a little fuel through
this hole.
’Another fenture peculiar only to
tho Thomas eliptlc bar is ita self-
cleaning one while in operation,
the curved surface of the bar en
abling It to shod surface automat
ically as they are made, which
leaves live coal and fresh fuel on
the bars at all times. The curved
surface provides no flat places for
ashes to lie on, back up and foul
over the draft spaces, but rather
theso draft spaces are always open
and permit a free passage
through the grates and through the
fuel bed to combine with the gases.
This enables more of the gases to
bo burned, which gives an increased
number of heat units, consequently
an Increased boiler efficiency. This
same process Is true with coaFwben
used for a fuel, as th slag clinker
separates Itself into particles and Is
expelled In the shape of a cinder,
as It finds no flat surface on tho
bar to lie on, harden and gather to
Itself similar matter. There it on
exception, however, to this feature
performing Impossible duties, as It
cannot expel dirt or sand from the
fuel after It melts and runs Into a
sticky, gummy substance, which ts
glass. This substance does not sep
arate Itself Into particles In Its
molten state, but rather runs to
gether and gathers to Itself all mat
ter that comes In contatct with It.
Neither can thia feature throw out
rock, slate, etc., hut the Thomas bar
does perform all the duties expect
ed of a grate bar and more than
any other bar will do.'*

There was a unanimous vot e that
