Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blasting Supplies Although the explosive itself very naturally demands first consideration when blasting is to be done, the fact must not be overlooked that it cannot be properly exploded without certain materials and appliances especially designed for the purpose, and which are commonly known as "Blasting Supplies." In addition to those articles necessary to develop the energy of a charge of explosives, there are other devices which, although they may not be absolutely requisite, contribute to safety, certainty and economy in the use of explosives, and these are also included in the category of Blasting Supplies. The importance of keeping Blasting Supplies up to the highest standard in every respect cannot be overestimated, for the very best grade costs but a trifle in comparison with the charge of explosives with which they are used. It is poor economy to attempt to detonate explosives with an inferior article, for this always results in a considerable waste of the value of the explosives. More than a hundred years' experience in the manufacture, sale and use of all kinds of explosives has taught us that the popularity of our products depends entirely on the results which consumers have with them. With this in view, we must, from a standpoint of "good business," if from no other, recommend only a high quality of Blasting Supplies.
