With the exception of F. Hafl and
]. P. Young, the officers Of the new
concern need no introduction to the

known to the leading business men
of the city Mr.. Hall formerly has
made a previous attempt to locate here
in the pottery business when DR.. G. H.

the capital subscribed to complete the
organization was insufficient
