Of increased magnitude was soon com.
pleted by Massillon company, and
thousands of tons of the famous ma
terial crushed In its hoppers. The
market expanded with such rapidity
that third company came into the
field from Wooster and Ashland, about
year ago, and is now close rival
with its competitor.
The plants are never idle and
together supply very large proper
ton of the best glass sand in use
The reputation of this product was
primary in attracting the attention Of
manufacturers to this point.
In addition to this unrivaled glass
rock, very superior grade of mould
ing sand is available in unlimited
quantities.
Warwick is girted with hills stock
ed with the best coal in the Massillon
district, the cream of the strata i.
Among the famous mines now ex-
hausted are the Woods, Chippewa, and
Messenger, while many others of less
er output have also yielded up their
all. For over 60 years Warwick has
been an important coal center supply
ing wide area. and like the well
known Palmyra district in Portage
county, has opened up new mines of
equal capacity and abundantly sus-
tained its Importance in this particu-
lar. The largest mine of present ac-
tivity is the Brewster, of 800 tons
daily output.
The Rowe and Billman mines are
still in full activity and the latter COM
pany has recently discovered two new
and extensive territories of over 300
acres, underlaid with strata from three
to five feet thick.
Thus the town has a perpetual beri.
tage as coal emporium of no ordi-
nary magnitude, with possibilities that
become larger with each new discoy-
cry.
FROM time to time. different inves-
legations have been made at Warwick

interior specimens submitted to anal
ysis. 1t is certain that the entire loca-
ton overlies a vast salt deposit des-
tined to early development.
1t also contains inexhaustible areas
OF fire clay and enough of the common
brick variety to supply the world.
Because of this splendid sand rock.
and the ease and cheapness of its pro-
auction. and because of rare shipping
facilities, Warwick was recently Sc
lected for the location of an extensive
bottle factory, which was completed
last March, and is employing over 100
operatives.
The moulding sand in turn attract.
ed large foundry for the manufac-
ture of house heaters, commonly
known as furnaces.
This was of coeval birth with the
glass industry and is already taxed
to its capacity to keep abreast of it's
orders. Other concerns are knocking
for admission and no resurrection of
the prophets is necessary to vision a
future of great achievements for this

Numerous dwellings have already
been constructed and a regular build
ing boom is on. The demand is so much
greater than the supply that immedi-
ate increase is urgently necessary, the
only Limitation being the lack of car
penters.. Over 200 lots have been sold
ranging from $50 to S40O.
"A general store and bakery, well
stocked. supply the present demands,
as best they can. but other and more
substantial business structures will
soon grace the growing mart.
