G. Memminger, of this City, Is President of the Company, and Its Moving Spirit The following interesting account of the surroundings and general im- pressions to be secured from a visit to the Coronet Phosphate mine at Plant City, is taken from the Plant City Courier, and is of special inter- est here as Mr. ('. (. Memminger, of this city, is the president of the company, and the man who has made the conditions there so delight- ful: “The writer, who is new to this section, visited the plant of the Coro- net Phosphate Company one day last week. 1 hadn’'t the privilege or the pleasure of a ‘personally conducted’ tour through the works. 'l inter- viewed no one__just walked around and observed, and felt as I observed that the active head of this great concern has lofty ideal and is main- taining it in the upkeep of thy planty It took no great degree of discern- ment to tell that things were “differ- ent' here. “The little office, clean and fresh, surrounded by a well-kept lawn, with beautiful growing trees and palms and ferns and flowers, bespoke the character of some individual. T went through the gates and toward the power house. Despite the five tall, forbidding smokestacks, the building was clean and inviting—almost as much as a well-kept home. In the engine room two giant, throbbing steel monsters of thousands of horse- power each were pumping water at the rate of four thonfln.nd gallong per minute. Kverything clean, the floor spotless and the machines so free of surplus grease and grime, that one would feel no hesitation in allowing his garments to come in contact with' them. It was really inspiring to see the way the tools were kept. A spe- cial place had heen constructed on the wall, and every wrench, hammer, serew driver, ete., was its apportioned and all {bright and shiny. “Then upstairs and into the big I power room, where three giant tur- bines were all softly, powerfully run- tozether and turning silent mo- speed of thirty-six hundred solutions per minute. In the back- eround was the wonderful switch- hoard which directs the energy of those three dynamos. diven as I stood {ond marvelled at the wonders of the { man-made lightning, 1 felt the influ- the methods that prevail there and my thoughts came back to [the room itself. All so clean, and linlike most places of similar nature, [the room was not so devoid of fur- nishings other than the machinery. There wos a book case and in it were hooks, magazines and papers, and there were chairs and tables, at one of which sat a clear-eyed young man at work upon some blue print. Again upon leaving the room T noticed there would be no wasted time here in searching around and under ma- chinery for lost tools, no effort in picking the one needed. They were all placed in a ncat circle upon the cold chisel, in place, i . ence of wall-—a perfect arrangement. The next step was to the boiler room 3y this time the order and method of the place was pretty well mpressed upon me, but T felt sure it in the bhoiler room we would nd the dirt., But no-——the floor was clean a parlor, and no dust, v dirt, nor grease nor urime was nywhere in evidence.

Through the yards came one of their locomo- tives and its appearance was in keep- ing with everything else. It looked like it mizht have been in use a week, but T was informed that it had been running every day for six years, “The same general cleanliness and perfect order of arrangement was in evidence in the railroad yards, the machine shops and at other places.
