Columbus, Oct. 19.-The Cherry Val
ley Iron company, corporation organ
ized under the laws of Pennsylvania
with offices at Pittsburg, has qualified
to do business in Ohio with headquar-
ters at Leetonia, Columbiana county.
The capital stock is $350,0O0, which is
divided into $500 shares of 500 each,
The officers and agents in charge of the
company's property in Ohio are j. w,
Rhodes, r. w. Flenniken and l.. w.
Young, of Pittsburg, and e. M. Peters,
of Leetonia. Mr.. Peters is the superin-
tendent of the plant at Leetonia. The
gentlemen named. excepting Mr.. Pet
ers, with w. B. Rhodes, of Pittsburg,
and E. n. Oil, of New Castle, compose
the directorate. The incorporation pa
pers specify that the company is au-
thorized to exist
FOR 100 YEARS.
The value of the Ohio plant is placed at
S30.3i0. The proportion of capital
stock of the company represented BY
property owned and used in the busi-
ness transacted in Ohio is about one
half thereof. The action of the COM
pany in qualifying to operate under
the laws of Ohio undoubtedly means
that the Leetonia plant is not to remain
idle, which will be pleasing news to the
residents of that town, who have har-
bored fears for a long time concerning
the future of the mill. Up until about
two years ago the plant was owned
largely by Charles Smick, president of
the First National bank, of Leetonia,
when it was purchased by the trust.
II was finally closed down.
