a capitalization of $100,000 and a completely equipped 
engineering organization, to design, engineer and construct 
steam power plants. Soon jt was necessary to add a chem- 
ical engineering department to care for the Increasing work 
in that field, and later a masonry department was formed 
to handle the brick work of boiler settings, an exceedingly 
important part of modern steam power plant construction. 
Thus, under one responsibility, McAleenan Brothers Com- 
pany in conjunction with The McAleenan Corporation are 
equipped to undertake successfully contracts covering the 
sntire work from planning to coustruction. 
A contract that was fulfilled recently in Minnesota fur- 
nishes an interesting illustration of the McAlesnan organ- 
ization’s ability to measure up to the unusual demand. In 
this Minnesota plant the order was issued on October 1 that 
steam must be raised in the plant on December 1. The 
boilers were suspended from the building, which necessitated 
the building to progress before the boilers could be installed. 
Despite the fact that when the order was given, nothing 
towards construction was completed except the foundations, 
the job—three complete boilers totaling 5000 horse power 
—~was completed and steam furnished on the required date. 
The chemical department is active in the solution of 
manufacturing problems and has evolved processes for the 
recovery of previously wasted by-products in the coking 
industry, for the elimination of stream pollution by steel 
plants and other original methods of manufacturing and 
conserving which effect savings to the interested industries. 
Under normal conditions the plant employs about 125 men, 
and the field construction force, in crews spread over the 
~ountry, totals about the same number. 
MecAleenan Water Tube Boilers are furnished in two 
types—inclined and horizontal. The MecAleenan Corpora- 
tion offers an exceptional service in the complete installation 
of large and complicated boiler settings and furnaces—a 
service that includes the detail design of all metal and re- 
fractory parts, the fabrication of steel work and cast iron 
members and the entire erection, all under one responsibility. 
Other products of the McAleenan organizations are: 
gas absorbers. steam jacketed agitators. annealing boxes,
