Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 1920, Vol. 13: Part I The paths of the early workers on electrolytic cells were not strewn with roses. They were very rocky. I speak from experience for I think I have been continuously in the business longer than any other man in this country. In September, 1894, I went to work for the old Electrochemical Company of Rumford Falls, Maine, as a laborer, 20 months later I was made superintendent of the plant, and have held that position there, and subsequently in Berlin for the Brown Company. That makes 26 years of experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
