ROLLING MILLS
CHANGE OWNERS
Sale Of Nc eCuIIough Plant AT North
East Really Effected.

The report of the sale of the McCul-
hugh Iron C0mpany's plant at North
East. noted lart week. is practically
confirmed. The Star, of Saturday last,
says the sale was effected by George w.
CGSden acting for Philadelphia parties
The actual transfer of the property has
rOt yet taken place, though prelimi-
nary binding payment has been made.
Who the purchasers are or what their
purpose may be is rot yet known. 1t
is thought, however, that the plant will
be used for industrial purposes, and
among the surmiseS is one that an en-
terSive clay product business may be
established by the parties ntereste ed.
The sale includes all the mill buildings,
office. warehouses, water power, one un-
sold dwelling and about 10 acres of
ground. The utilization of the property
for industrial purposes would mean much
for North East and 20 far toward re-
storing it's former thrift. Much inter
est is felt in the outcome of the deal in
the town and ncghborhood.
