purchased by the Riverside Iron and
Steel Company was closely inspected

one of the best plants of the trust,

new plants are to be erected on the
part of the Bogg's Run land, known

occupy site on one side of the run,

er side. The present steel works will
be torn away and the site used for
the building of new plate mills.
