Some Facts About Barberton and Its
Gigantic Industries.
BUSINESS BEFORE ANY PLEASURE

Ohio Capitalists Interested.
COLD FACTS FOE IaYESTOKS TO STDM
Akeon, 0., April 18. Details have just
been made public here of the huge Dew
enterprise projected by Mr. O. C. Barber, J
President of the Diamond Match Company,
and Mr. M. J. Alexander, the Pittsburg
hustler, who built Jeannette and Charleroi.
At a point seven miles south of Akron,
where the Nypano, Cleveland, Akron and
Columbus Bailroad and the new Baltimore
and Ohio main line come together within a
fevr yards of the Ohio Canal, a new town has
been platted underthenameof "Barberton."
Orer 1,000,000 has been expended unon the
various factory buildings, and 1,200 lots are
to be sold by the land company within a lew
weeks. The scheme is so stronely backed as
to attract a great deal of attention, both in
Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsyl
vania, and people are making eager in
quiries for authoritative Information.
It is learned that Ohio and Pennsylvania
capitalists are equally interested in the big
scheme. Mr. Barber's associates are Hon.
Charles Baird, attorney of the Cleveland,
Akron and Columbus Itailroad, Mr. Albert
Paice. ol the Warren. O., Tube Works, and
other capitalists Jlr. Alexander's asso
ciate are J. W. Moore, the ex-coke king;
W. D. Hartupee, engineer of the Charleroi
Plate Glass Co., and also of the Chambers
& MtKee Glass Plant at Jeannette: Julian
Kennedy, Jormerly manager of the furnaces
at Cirnegies' Bessemer Steel Works; Hon.
George Crouse, President ol the Charleroi
Plate Glas Company, and a hish Federal
official. Besides these solid men, the di
lectors and stockholders cf the various
colosval factories are actively interested and
pushing Barberton enthusiastically. The
new town has a big boom, although not a
building lot has jet been sold.
It has been the custom to build towns on
paper for so long that it is a relreshing
noveltv to see the bone aud smew of a man
ufacturing town, i. c, the lactones, not
only constructed, but in actual operation. Buildings covering acres
of space, substantially construct 1 of brick and filled with costly mi
chmery, hem in the town site on every hand. The 800 skilled work
men now earning daily wages at Barberton are scattered all aroutid
awaiting the opportunity to buy lots aud erect homes. When all the
buildings are tullv running 1,400 workmen will be employed, with an
aggregate pa v roll of J7G0.000 per annum. Such a showing should
form a nucleus of a splendid manufacturing town. The present con
cerns are all mutually interested, Mr. O. C. Barber being President
of each of the corporations.
The following works are running: The National Sewer Pipe Com
pany, the bicgest in the world, and now turning out 200 tons a day of
finished work; the branch factorv of the American Strawboard Compa
iny; the American Alumina Works; the Stirlinc Boiler Company,
whose output for six months ahead is already sold; the Creed
moor Cartridge Company, the bigeest factory devoted to cartridge
wares in the country. The Barberton Belt Line Bailroad, a broad
gauge track surrounding the eutire town and lurnishing connections
with all points of the compass, is in operation. The Barberton
Bank is organized and doing business, and the National Hotel, a
brick structure of 53 rooms, is just completed and opened. The
Barberton Whiteware Works, the largest concern in the coun
try, has been organized, and a well has been sunk 2,400
feet for salt whioli, if lound, will bring in its train a big food salt fac
tory. The town has been partly piped for water, and a water works
will be built. All that money judiciously spent can secure is fast
being provided and the most intense activity pervades the scene. Mr.
Alexander's talents in the line of organization have enabled him to
surround himself with a coterie of hustlers who manage to keep things
moving, and the way in which the natural advautages have been
tutiliz'd bespeaks not rfgi !
onlv enersy. but the in- y
tention to make Barber- j
ton a "go." The Ohio
ans interested are hust
ling things along, seem
ingly trying to confute
the old saying that
Borne was not built in a
day.
Mr. O. C. Barber, for
whom the new town is
samed.is a very wealthy
man, and his personal1 n.f.
interest in me iou nisau
index to success in the
eves u ia iticnuo , ,, .
Mr. Alexander says that 3 5seamZ,
naturchasdone so much j
for Barberton that it
will be much easier tofefii-iri
.create a prosperoustown
rthan at Jeannette or
Charleroi,both of which
have been successful.
In a circular letter ap
pended to the prospectus
of Barberton, Mr. Alexander savs:
"I call th"e attention of investors to the
town of Barberton, which will be opened for
the sale of lots within the next 30 days.
The strong financial backing of this scheme
will, I know, commend it to all. The
achedulef iceBfota will-e u low .as

Charleroi or Jeannette, and the aggregate
pay roll of the various factories as large as
either. Corner lots it Jeannette and Char
leroi that oM at first sale at 750 are now
bringing 2,G00 and 83,000. Inside lots
which sold for $500 are reselling after one
year's time at 61,300 to 52,000. The fact
that this is a case of legitimate town build
ing, under the management of the strongest
and most liberal capitalists of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, is a sufficient
guarantee of good treatment and first-class
investment, sae and profitable. For the
accommodation of the public a brick hotel
of 53 rooms has been ereoted. A beautiful
Queen Anne hotel of 50 rooms has just been
hrzun and will cost in the neighborhood of
JfiO.OOO. It will be made the best place of
euteitaiument in X. E. Ohio."
The business streets will be macadamized.
All streets will be graded and have side
walks laid.
It is a significant fact that the greatest

arxiety In ngard to choice of lots is dis
played by the irtis ns a'reidy employed at
Barberton. The high r-nts and rates of
taxation in cities are m strong contrast to
the immunity from such buebears offered by
towns modeled upon the plan adopted for
Jaibprton. jnajHUSB JlSannJajojrjinJio.a; iendJ...pjricesvKt. ftllin,eerfnfligy5,Mclct UiiXIi bfUlMJljti9l&t f59i 9 M 1
Charleroi have been proven successes. Bar
berton occupies a beautiful plateau over a
mile square, its gently rolling surface
diversified by clumps of primeval
forest trees and a limpid lake of 20
acres with gravel banks and u sandy
bottom, its placid surface reflecting
the glories of the sun. The natural
boundaries, consisting of Wolf creek on the
west and the Tuscarawas river on the east,
and foothills which rise abruptly at the
north and south, hem in the town site and
bid defiance to intrusion or speculation. A
circle of factory sites surrounds the town
proper, with the Barbeton Belt line tapping
every factory and communicating with four
railroads aud the Ohio canal. The gentle
deflection from the lake on every side guar
antees a perfect system of drainage on all
sides. So level is the town site
proper that no grading will be
necessary in streets or lots. The
soil is gravel! and the sand from the
--j!ai''..iM-i
cellar excavations is suitable for use in
building. The spirkling lake, the undu
lating land and the forest-clad hills in the
distance on every band form a panorama of
rare beiutv. Around the lake will be a
park of some extent. From the streets
evenly back to the Belt Line. Fronting
the lake will be the Barberton Inn, in
tended to be the best hotel in the Western
Beserve. The system of Intramural com
munication afforded by the Belt Line will
excel that possessed by any manufacturing
site in the country.
A large acreage has been assigned to the
various factories and a couple of dozen ap
plications are being considered, it being
quite possible to fill every available site
with workshops.
The Strawboard Lumber Company fac
tory is an immense building of itself, and
has recently had a large brick addition to be
devoted to the manufacture of "Lignistra,"
the new substitute for Lincrusta Walton.
Tne company office in Barberton is resplen
dent in tne recently completed patterns of
this material which" is destined to produce a
sensation in the world of decora
tive art The National Sewer
Pipe Works is an immense affair.
A four-story brick main building 370x80
is surrounded by annexes nnd 24 huge fur
naces for burning and glazing. Enormous
engines, crusiiers, mixers, etc., form a plant
of unparalleled Bize. Operations with full
capacity commence May 1. The Barberton
Bank and Company office Is a handsome
three-story brick building near the depot.
Nearly a mile away to the south are the
large brick buildings of the Alumina fac
tory. The Whiteware works will be the
biggest pottery in the world. Two thousand
acres of clay lands in Indiana are owned bv
the company, and operations with full capa
city will begin next fall. The Stirling Boiler
Co. has a large building up and ground
broken for one' of equal size alongside. The
manufacture of fine steel boilers, sinele or
in batteries, is now in progress. The finest
machinery made in either continent is used,
'and the output for six months ahead is
sold. Mr. Thomas Deeean, formerly of J.
P. Witherow & Co., of New Castle, Pa., is
general manager of the Stirling Company,
with headquarters at Chicago. The ma
terials used come from Carnegie and Spang
& Co., of Pittsburg, but a tube mill and a
rolling will will be constructed in the near
future, making the plant complete.
The Creedmoor Cartridge company nas a
brick buildings finished and occupied at
the extreme west of the Barberton site.
The manufacture of fine cartridge materials
is now in progress with lull capacity, and a
lucrative market is assured.
It would seem reasonable that such a set
of industrial outputs should augur well for
the town they "surround. A paramount ad-
vantage to the purchaser of lots lies in the
fact that the town proper is so surrounded
as to be a guarantee against encroachment.
The summum bonum of advantages would
be bard to beat anywhere. Driven veils
reach pure water at 18 feet; thetest quality
of bituminous coal is delivered in Barberton
at $110 a ton; competition between the
canal and the railroads makes freight very
cheap on lumber, bricks, etc., from Cleve
land, 35 'miles 'distant, and the liberal
policy mapped out by the promoters of Bar
berton would be a powerful enongh magnet
to attract resident searchers were there not a
commercial future very certainly assured.
The first sale of lots will be-had May 5,
6 and 7. The company has offices on the
ground and at room' 202 Bissell Block,

S. LOYD'S CHESSLEr.
A short time ago we published a pretty game
with a charming termination between the
problemist, Mr. Walter Orimsbaw, and the
magnate, Mr. William Steinitz. Here Is an
other little gem played 10 years ago by Mr.
Loyd at the Elizabeth Club, N. J. The same
moves occurred, says Mr. Loyd, again recently
between two London experts, the only differ
ence being that Mr. Loyd saw and announced
tbe mate, which nas not seen or discovered by
tho other players.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN MACKENZIE.
Captain George H. Mackenzie, one of tbe
ablest exponents of tbe brilliant scbool of
chess, died on Tnesday afternoon, April 14, at

To the Checker Editor of The Dispatch:
While Mr. William Taylor, of Dundee, may
be perfectly correct in indicating 9-14 at twenty-first
move of game No. 76 as a loser. I do not
think he has carried tbe ending to a sound
finish, at thirty-sixth move.

better, so far as retention of man Is concerned.

We Give You Nothing But
Truthful Statements,
THEY DON'T MISLEAD,
Do we cure every case of catarrh?
Unquestionably, no.
When catarrh has been allowed to proceed
unchecked until tbe various organs bave be
come fatally impaired and the system under
mined so that no remedial agent or medical
skill can avail, or when the patients become
careless, negligent and infrequent in their
visits, the sufferer will undoubtedly fall to ob
tain a cure.
Onr treatment is not one of miraculous
power nor mysterious sorcery. Our cures are
effected by patient, regular, systematic and
methodical, as well as skillful, treatment. We
cure only when tbe patient, by hearty co-operation,
aids ns iu our work. No one can do
more.

Mr. Emil W'estenbagen, employed at Price's

"I was troubled for over four years, I bad
pains in tbe forehead, top and above the eyes.
There were buzzing noises in my ears. My nose
stopped up. I hawked and spit up quantities
ofmuens that was continually dropping into
my throat. My sense of smell had nearly dis
appeared. My throat was harsh and dry. Had
pains In my chest. Felt tired in tbe morning
upon rising, after stooping was dizzy. I was
almost a physical wreck."
"To-day I feel better every way. My troubles
bave disappeared and Drs. Copeland aad
Blair's treatment did it all. To those suffering
from catarrh and it3 immediate troubles, I feel
no hesitancy In recommending them."
