WASHINGTON FACToRY.-Of this factory in
Newark, N. j., a late paper from that place
| says:
A very interesting and curious manufacturing
process is executed at the Washington Factory,
occupied by Mr.. John Garsidcss 1t consists in
turning miniature busts, statuettes and medal
lions, from marble and ivory, by machinery,
which is similar in principle to Blanchard's
patent last machine any number of repetitioHs
of the same pattern being possible Busts and
medallions of Clay, Webster, Washington, Vic
toria and others made in this manner of marble
and ivory, can be furnished at comparatively
small cost Mr. Garside is, We believe, the only
person either in this country or England, who
has applied the machinery to this object and the
superiority of these productions, in beauty and
durability, to those made Of the common plaster
OF Paris, which are so frequently seen, is OBJ
vious.
Mr. g. also carries on extensively the manu-
facture of fine table cutlery, with ivory, pearl,
silver and other kinds of handles, which are
turned ont by this machinery, making a very
superior article, said to be cheaper than those
imported, which made by hand, acquire a
degree of skill and considerable labor. The
handles can be made after any faneiful design,
and medallions at the same time worked upon
them, in solid ivory, very novel and tasteful
article being thus produced. These manutae-
lures have received high concentrations, and
with the numerous other triumphs of ingenuity
and energy in our city. are exceedingly credit
able to us as a manufacturing community.
