The Ridgway Advocate says: Forest
Hoff. of Warren, Pa, and A. r. Mech
ling, of Clarington, and several other
capitalists who are interested with them
are in town Wednesday, completing the
purchase of the property of the Rdgway
Bedding Company for the purpose of es-
tablishing in this place new oil refining
plant. The Ridgway Bedding Company
being corporation, some red tape was
necessary before the sale of the property
could be made. 1t took some time to
give each of the stockholders notice of the
proposed sale, and also for the board of
directors to go through the formality of
passing resolution to sell the property.
These formalities having been completed
the directors of the company srein shape
to sell, and hence the buyers are here to
close the deal and get ready to start their
new industry for Ridgway. Thier pur-
pose is, as we understand it, to manu-
facture lubricating oils and they will
employ quite number of men. Though
the industry will not be nearly so large
as some of our others, yet it is one that
ought to be steadily prosperous and quite
a help to the town. We are glad to ex-
tend cordial welcome to the gentlemen
at the head of this position and wish them
the best of success in this new undertak-
ing in Ridgway.
