Moore, at work on a marketing j
survey, join forces with the ad- J
ministrative staff of ARA in j
their modern new quarters.
Ivan Branton, agricultural en-11
gineer, also has established an j
office in one the building’s 31\

nounced in southeastern Alaska,
a representative of the Reynolds
Metal Co. told Anchorage-ites
last week that his firm was con
sidering the establishment of an
aluminum fabrication plant there.
This plant, if built, would use
aluminum shipped from the states
to fabricate all types of large alu
minum products. Plans for the
construction of aluminum-alloy
mining equipment figured prom

plant. The Reynolds Company
also hopes to obtain the bid to

the Fire Island base, planned by
the military.
The scope of aluminum prod

wrapping paper, according to the
Reynolds spokesman.
