Today the AlcCowan Foundry com-
pany, attracted by Sapulpa's strategic
situation, began moving their plant
proper from Cleveland, Oklahoma, to
this point. A portion of the machinery
arrived this afternoon.
The company has leased a site north
of the Frisco right-of-way, opposite
the Ice plant and will immediately
erect a modern foundry and machine
shop, employing about twenty men.
A specialty will be made of oil field
work.
It is interesting also to note that the
company comes without requiring a
bonus.
