The location OF the Works as a Manufac-
turing Site is unsurpassed. Being right In
the heart Of a district that produces one
sixth of all the pig metal manufactured In
the United States, II has the advantage OF
free selection OF metal, and at prices below
those necessarily charged after transporta-
ton TO a distant market. Being near the
Lakes. the ores Of Lake Superior can be de-
( livered AT low figures. Block and Soft Coal
are abundant, and by branch OF the Erie
and Pittsburgh Railroad, now completed,
can be delivered from the cars into the mill
without teaming. BY the same branch, the
manufactured Iron and Nails can be ship
ped to all points from the door ofthe Ware
hsuSe without expensive teaming.
The large amount of Real Estate connect
! ed with the works will afford ample Oppor-
tunity for their extension by the Building
Of Blast Furnaces and other improvements
! without the possibility OF ever being cramp-
ed for room.
: To any one DESTROYS of entering into the
iron business the present opportunity Is
rare one, ~ the proprietOrs are too extern
sively engaged i'm the Lumber and Glass
business To give the manufacture OF iron
their personal attention, hence the works
will be sold on advantageous terms.
