gone INTO blast again after suspension OF
twenty-seveu days. This furnace is now run
ming at full capacity and is turning out every
day forty five tons OF pig iron. The raw pig
iron produced at this furnace finds a constant

of the United States, and shipments are con
stantly a1f1e.to Cincinnati Boston, Pittsburg
Chicago and other cities So strong is the de
mand for the iron that the furnace has gone on
running at full blust, while nearly every other
iron plant in this section went out Of blast
During the long months OF idleness
through which the great iron works Of Annis-
ton, Birmingham, Etna, Tecumseh and De-
catur hove gone, the New Rome furnace was
going ahead as if nothing had happened The

town and is said TO be very rich in high grade
iron. Col L. S. Colyar of Chattanooga, tile
president OF the furnace, makes frequent Wis it's
TO New Rome plant and keeps in close touch
with its business. About twent y-seven days
ago the furnace was forced 10 go out of blast
on count of a break through thefurnace

seven days were required to accomplish the
work. There is constantly on the yards Of the
furnace a large quantity of pig iron ready for
shipment notwithstanding the fact that cars
are being constantly loaded. This furnace ia
one of Rome's greatest and most successful
enterprises.
