From this time on thebusiness developed rapidly, partly because of the expansion 'of the automotive industry.Then followed ih« research committees of the American Foundry-miUT* association setting up standards by which suitable sand for various castings could be correctly selected and the sand produced and tested both by shipper and consumer. Sand is now spec;-! fied as to grain size, iron, steel, coke and all other materials thatenter into foundry practice.Such are the changes m this import anr industry since E. M. Ayersemered it 55 years ago. *Mr. Ayers is celebrating his birthday anniversary ai Saranac Lake. New York.
