Theie will be several changes in the official roster of the American Olny Manufacturing company, fter the first annual meeting which will be held in Jersey City the third Wedues "da y-iiu March. -" ul - Tho changes will not be the result ot any friction In the company. On the contifli-y there is the best of feel Itic between all the officers. The changes will be made at the request of the paities who wtth to retire from mi active Intel e-,t in the corporation. Some time ago it was stated that all negotiations for the purchase of tho independent plants in this city were off. Later a local paper, not the Demo crat, printed a story announcing that KoblnMin Brothers - company would build .in Immense addition to their plant for the piupoec of making a vigorous fight against the combine. Tuesday, a gentleman who is conver sant with the situation said to a re porter for the Democrat- "I dv not believe tlfat Koblnson Brothers & com pany, will build anj large addition at present. I am not at llberyt to say anything as to the negotiations be. tween the American Clay Manufactur ing company and the Independent plants." From another source It was learned that all negotiations for the purchase of tho Akron Independent concerns were not off. That the deal will go through is the belief of many inter ested parties. Should this prove ta be true the general offices on, thn company will remain right where they are. Akron would then be the ce.nter of the Industry and business could bs transacted much more advantageously here than nt Pittsburg. As the situa tion now stands there are many stock holders who do not favor any change, I nthc location of the offices. This will nil be decided at the annual meeting1.
