and successfully worked by means of a well
equipped organization consisting of a galaxy of
men of expert knowledge in applied science.
This vulcan like factory, is now at work
for the last two years and its latest report
shows what has been accomplished. It verily
marks an epoch in the industrial history of
India at the opening of the twentieth century

working the factory is indeed most creditable.
But as the report says a further amount of
capital expenditure is essential in order to
give to the share holders the profits arising
from its full productive capacity. This has
not yet been reached but it may be depended
upon that it will be reached in another two
or three years redounding to the credit of all
