mat an important branch Of business will
De estaDLished here at an early day. This
enterprise has been in contemplation for
months by one or two Of tile gentlemen
now Interested In 1t, and the certificate OF
yesterday ls the result. The pottery bust.
ness Is last becoming an important branch
Of American industries, and the attention
Of many sagaCious capitalists il being
drawn to It. The sale OF pottery in its
different forms, such as China, crockely,
etc., Is enormous, and the fact that we, rs
nation, import more than two.thirds of
our necessities in this line has given this
manufacture an almost incredible impetus
within few years. Our neighboripg
town Of East Liverpool, Ohio, Ras been
very successfully engaged in the mann.
!aGtnre OF pottery In all its forms, and next
70 trenton, \. j.. is the largest manuiac.
turing town In the Union. The impres.
SION was prevalent Ior many years that we
had not the facilities for the production
OF these wares, but that idea has long
since been dissIpated, and each returning
year shows the growth and improvement
OF the project. For sometime past, as we
nave said, this movement has been on foot,
anu 1t is now a settled fact. The ground,
a part OF the buildings and machinery and
tue company are all certain, and next
spring. will see the pottery in practical
operation.
This pottery will be fitted up with all
the latest improved machinery, An the

cult seventeen feet in diameter each. and
threc'glossed, fifteen feet six inches in
diameter and as the trade requires will add
three additional ones to those, the other
parts of the pottery being sufficiently
large to run eight kins.
The company is peculiarly fortunate in
It's selections OF site for It's buildings
and operations. The building already IN
is a spacious one in every particular, md
ADJACENT as 1t is TO the river, will reap all
the advantages from that source. The q.
Il o.. Railroad runs Immediately past the
southern exposure, and will run 4 switch
into the building, thus giving the most
convenient means Of loading and unload.
