ONCE A COLD-ROLL BOY. CWMAVON WORKS NEW MANAGER.
Mr. William Price Lewis, who has been appointed manager of Copper Miners Tinplate Works, Cwmavon, Port Talbot, is at present in charge of a large tinplate works in Zanesville, Ohio. His connection with the tinplate trade began when he became a cold-roll boy at the Lydney Works. Subsequently he was appointed mill foreman at the Melingriffith Works, and at the same time he was connected with the works at Medea. A few years later Mr. Lewis threw up these positions in order to take charge of a tinplate plant near Bilboa. After six years there he went to Cincinnatti, U.S.A., where he was soon promoted to the managership of a larger works at Zanesville.'[1]
