and storing ut least six times as many nails
as when started, 1t has built up desirable
trade, and has now capacity OF about
1910 kegs OF nails per day, With the ad-
vent Of the steel nail Its boiling furnaces,

The LaBelle Company was one OF the
Grst to decide that 1t is q wholesome idea
TO diyerge from tmeworn paths and seek
q new and shorter route to the goal. They
determined to adopt the lauth method,
and contracted for q new mill, which in

The Lauth process makes 1t possible to
produce steel nails from old steel rails. By

cures cheap supply and avoids the me-

ord of Success,

a Pioneer Industry with IN Unbroken Rec.
ord of Success.
The Benwood Nail Works and Its pre-.
docessor, the Virginia mill, dates back to
lS47. 1t was the second iron works and
the first exclusive nail mandatory in
Wheeling, and the frat mill devoted OK
clusively to making nails west OF
the mountains. 1t WIS organized by
Il. NJ. Norton, L. W. Stevens, John
Hunter, William Fleming and Rob.
ert Morrison under the firm name Of
Hunter, Morrison 4 Co. The mill was 10.
Gated first on the present site Of the b, &
o. railroad buildings in this city, but
when the railroad was completed the mill
site was sold TO the B. 4 o. Company, and
the mill sought new site on tho Nc.
MeChen farm, four miles south OF the city,
between tho 3. & o. track and the river.
The tract comprises IL acres and the coal
privilege OF 100 acres additional Was acQulr.
ed at tho same time. Work on the new
mill was commenced in 1852 and compile.
ted in 1853. The owners constituted a
firm under changing titleBuntll 1854, when
the plant was sold by decree Of court,
and purchased by company which reor-
ganizsd as the Benwood Iron Works.
INVALUABLE SITE.
The site OF the Benwool mill was
chosen with reference 10 facilities Of trans
portation, and the selection proved wise
one. 1t originally adioined the Baltimore
& Ohio road and river. The completion
OF the Central Ohio road, and the con.
struCtion Of the Baltimore & Ohio bridge
over the 0hior river, andlater the extension
OF the Pittsburgh, Wheeling 4 Kentucky
Railroad to that point, and the building
Of the Ohio River Railroad have made the
position OF the Benwood mill one OF the
most commanding in the Ohio Valley.
The Company has always maintained
It's office in this city. 1t Is now located
on Fourteenth street near Water, Main
and South. 1t blast furnace at Martina
Ferry, though not Of large capacity, Is one
OF the most successfully operated In this
vicinity, the output Of iron being In graft.
flying ratio to the consumption oil raw ma.
terial. This furnace formerly consumed
ore from the Compuny's own land, not far
distant, but this ore was abandoned for
Superior ores, not being rich enough 10
pa yto smelt 1t.
When the mill was located at Benwood,
that now aourishlng and populous suburb
OF Wheeling was o farm. The company
built number OF tenement houses, thus
forming the nucleus Of the present Consid-
cradle town Of Benwood. lts property
steadily increased In value as the town
grew, the facilities increased and the city
extended In It's direction. A part OF ita
real estate was recently sold to the Wheel.
ing Steel Company, Of whose fine plant
the Benwood company Is third owner,
and the original protector. The plant ad.
Joins itS factory on the east.

Riverside exceeds her in extent or ca.
pacity; no mill anywhere produces nails Of
better quality. Tho completion oil the
Wheeling Steel Plant gives her all the adj
yautsges enjoyed by any nail manufacture
ing concern, and Rhe possesses certain
special advantages attendant upon her To-
cation and her early start In the business.
The FIRE OF the centennial year WAS o
blessing in disguise, being the means o.
giving tho company an enlarged and mod
ernized establishment in tho lead in many
respects in her department Of industry.
