construction In Gas City, Ind, for some
months mast. will be ready 10 begin
operations about April "a, or not later
than May I. Ii was expected that the
new plant would be in shape for start
ing BY April 1, but owing to the pro-
lOnged inclemency Of the weather Wnlcn
prevailed during the winter, It was not
possible TO continue the work as was de-
sired. The three furnaces OF 10 pots
each will be worked exclusively cd table
ware and a general line or pressed ware.
IL was reported for a time, aud thought
plausible by many, that owing to fac
tory @. At Tarentum. burning down one
furnace would be put on chimneys az
the new plant in Gas City. Such will
not be the case. Some Of the men OF
factory C will 90 to Gas City to work, as
will also the late employees OF
factories M and j, OF Findlay,
O. II is not expected that enough OF
the mdn from these factories will go TO
al the new plant, and the rest OF the
workmen will ba drawn from any
source. The new branch factory will
be under the MANAGEMENT Of ID. c. Jen-
kips. late Of factory NJ, Findiay, o.,
and the machinery and equipments will
also come from the factories or the
same place, which have been praeti-
cally abandoned. Il will be difficult to
get men 10 60 to the Gas City so near
the end of the fire, unless the trade be-
comes depressed hereabOuts, as they
would only have two months to work.
Still it Is expected that all the men that
are necessary can be secured -GtGsS-
