The West Amwel Rolling Mill

The West AmweIl Rolling Mill of the
Mccullough Iron Company being located
so far from it's base of supplies for bars,
which is North East, and the cost of

adding so greatly to the cost of making
iron there, the Company have concluded
to abandon the mill and remove all the
