Lally, writing for The Wall Street Journal, Pittsburgh bureau, provided the following story a new product of the Joy Manufacturing A new semi-portable machine for making oxygen has gone on the market with a promise by its manufacturer that it will save industrial users up to 50 per cent. of their oxygen costs. The machine, developed by Joy Manuftcturing will generate high-purity oxygen for consumers such as steel mills, metal fabricating plants, glass factories, chemical and industries. As an industrial tool, high purity oxygen is used primarily, in combination with fuels like acetylene, for the cutting or welding of metal.

It also is used as a raw terial (in chemicals) or a heat intensifier (in glass melting furnaces). Price Ranges to $175,000. in price range $20,000 to Joy's oxygen generator, will sell $175,000, depending on the size, but will bring substantial savings compared with the cost of purchased oxygen, according to the company. Large transportation charges are involved in the cost of purchased oxygen. Joy's generator is installed in the plant and the oxygen is made at an operating cost of five cents to 10 cents a hundred cubic feet.

That's equivalent to $12 to $24 a ton, which, says Joy, would represent savings to users of 60 per cent. to 85 per cent. (before amortization) compared with purchased oxygen. The market potential of the new machine, according to J. D.

A. Morrow, president of Joy, "runs up to $100 million." That doesn't include the which market is used for in do oxygen large ton- Obituary Mrs. Mattie E. Mott. Funeral services for Mrs.
