The Potomac MANUFACTuRING Co.
The report printed in a Washington paper
that the Potomac Manufacturing Company
OF this city had virtually collapsed, is not

tn" work with seeming rapidity have
been unavoidable. and that by the spring
lhe works will be in active operation with
Il prospect Of the highest success. The
company has recently been rcorganizcd un.
der the charter granted by the Virginia
Legislature, and i'll recognizing there have
been some necessary delays.
