The neces sary buildings were put up near the Moshannon creek, in a suburb of the town that is now called Point Look- out. The capacity of the factory was 1,500 gross per week, but the largest quantity produced during the time it was in operation was 1,000 gross per week, the material for which was pre- pared from the blooms by rolling gnd wire drawing machinery operated by steam and water power, The nearest and best market was at Pittsburg, and the products of the forge and screw mill*had to be hauled at no inconsid- erable expense to the waters of the Al- legheny river in wagons, and thence transported in arks to their destina- tion.
