distance from the tannery, produces
an acid necessary in the tanning of
hides. This acid is procured from
wood and the plant has caused many
men throughout Perry county to get
employment as wood choppers. Hun
dreds of trees have been felled, split
and then hauled into Newport. The
company takes all of the loads of wood
1t can get. but still it complains that
there is not more. The scarcity is due
to the desire of many farmers to cut
their trees themselves and thus make
all the profit. In the summer months
they work in their fields. but in the
winter. when there is little to do, they
decide to make some extra money by
cutting down trees. Perry county
alone is not able to supply sufficient
timber. so shipments are made from
points 200 miles from here. The COM

day. This is shipped in tank cars to
tanneries ordering the fluid. The local
concern is q branch of the American
Oak Leather Company, of Cincinnati.
Two Stocking Factories
Two stocking factories complete the
number of industries in this borough.
The II. A. Romberger Stocking Fac
tory is the largest and employs about
110 persons, most of whom are girls.
Stockings Tor women, children and
men are manufactured and 1t is not
unlikely that many of the short hose
for men are being worn by soldiers in
the trenches in war-ridden Europe. A
good percentage of the output of the
local concern is sent to Europe and
recently a number of big shipments
were made to cities which are in the

LOO dozens per day. Sixty-one ma
chimes are in operation just now. The
shirts are cut out in New York and
the parts are then shipped to Newport
to be sewed together. Buttonholes are
also made here and the buttons are
placed. When the shirts leave here
they are finished ready for the stores.
The Newport Tannery. a branch of
the Elk Tanning Company, of Ridg-
way. is another important industry
here, giving employment to almost a
hundred men. Hides are sent here
from the cattle markets to be tanned
and transformed into leather and it is
said that many of the hides tanned in
Newport in recent months have been
made into harness now being used on
horses on the battlefields of Europe.

grade of pig iron it produced before
the plant shut down because of a
quantity of stock still on hand. Within
few weeks, however, this product
will be done away with and speigle
will be manufactured. This product is
one of the substances used in the
manufacture of high-grade steel.
The company's output of pig iron
when the plant is reopened will be
between 75 and 100 tons per day. The
output of speigle will, it is understood,
be much less than this, inasmuch as it
Is more difficult to produce and takes
a much longer period to manufacture.
The company is understood to be con-
templating the enlargement of the
plant soon after 1t is put in operation.
If this is done. then there will be en-
ployment for many more men.

about 1870 and there are men who

worked at the plant a few years after
1t was first opened. Among these are
Amos Smith, Theophilus Neiman,

The e. o. Smith Hosiery Mills ems
ploys about twenty girls in the manu-
facture of stocking feet. Some mems
hose are also produced. The plant
was established about four years ago
and recently has been enjoying much
prosperity. This plant produces about
zoo dozen pairs of feet daily and ships
them to all parts of the country.
Both of the stocking factories do
their own dyeiAg, but they have ex-
perienced little difficulty in getting a
sufficient quantity of dyestuffs to keep
them running. However. they have
not had more thSn they wanted.
Altogether all of Newport's indus

outlook for the towns future Is bright.
