TUE Nn~ASTAGEs OF WASHINGTON.
We have shown Ia the above article the
great advantages Washington possesses as u
glass manufacturing city. With as good
sand as can be found In the world for the
manufacture, as good clay as can be obtained
from Germany TO make crucibles, land II
may be to supply the other glass factories OF
the country we can see no reason why this
enterprise should not DO nucleas around
which other establishments may raise to /
compete favorably with tho manufactures Of |
others Of this and other countries.
