,r 4... 1 i I i Forest Republican. Industrial Supplement. Tionesta, Forest County, Pa., Wednesday, Feb. lo, 1S9S. TIONESTA, PA., Its Manufacturing and Mercantile Interests, Its Growth and Business Enterprise, Its Beautiful and Ileal hv J "cation and the Many Inducements it has to offer t Industries Seeking Advantageous Locations. That the spirit of progress hiis com menced 'to dawn on Tionesta hns now been apparent for some months, anil It Is to demonstrate this fact to the doubt InK ones those who have been so long wont to slur the county seat of Forest for Its old-fashioned slowness and al the same time to point out to the peo ple of the country at lurge the superior advantages which are here offered for Industrial development, in certain lines, that this illustrated supplement to the Republican has been undertaken. Ti nnesta has never been backward; It has simply bided its time. Half a century ago Forest county Was but a wllderne-s and the energy of her people waa antl has been largely devoted to the wrest ing the wealth of tlmler from the for ests and 1he gas and nil beneath. WRn this labor still Incomplete, hut proceed ing vwith sturdy strides, the people are now finding time and opportunity 10 test the county's resources In other ani more cultivated fields of Industrial ef fort. Where natural gas Is cheap ami plentiful for fuel; where' miles of vir gin forests are still close at hand ready to furnish raw material for a multitude of varying Industries; where the moun taln are rich with shale for brick and sand for glass, there Is certainly ampl opportunity for w-'l-directed ente' prlse. All these and more Fore-it county has to offer and the town of Tionesta Is leyond question the nutuv.l center for such operations. When we add to these advantages supplied oy nature the bright promise which exists for increased railroad' connections and the entei prising, though safe and con servative spirit now being manifested by the business circles of the town, as Illustrated by the newly established Tl unesla Manufacturing Co., who can doubt that Tionesta hns a future before her? Tionesta Is situated at the mouth of Tionesta creek, on the east bank of th Allegheny. From the river bank lo t lit v 1 K. C. 1IHAT11. Hurgess of Tionesta and Senior Member of the til ill of Heath V: Kilmer. gists. mi untains a pronounced but not abrupt rise of ground extends to the base of the mountains. This furnishes nat ural drainage,- while from the hills and mountains back of the town is secured a supply of the purest spring water to be found In the- state of Pennsylvania. Further along we refer mure at length to this feature of Tlotiesta's claims to suiierlor advantages. Across the river, on the opposite bank, the W. X. Y. & P. railroad winds Its way, the -illicit being reached by a hundsome and substantial iron bridge, Is free to pedestrians hides.. At no distant day, It w hieh i and ve-1 is safely expected, another railroad will be In op- tlr.u hu ,.,..-. --UK ....in-' petlng lines. This second railroad, an' extension of the Allegheny Valley rou i from OH City, has long been a dream ..f the Inhabitants of this section. but there Is now good reason to believe that tile dream is nearing Its realization. Tit people and business men all afong the proposed route are ripe foi it. and ready to .give it all proper encouragement and there ate whisper of mysterious conferences of the powers that lie that would seem to Indica'e speedy action. I Itriefly stated, the extension of the Al legheny Valley railroad from Oil City would run up the east bank of ;he riv r, till It struck Tionesta Creek at Tiones ta. a distance of 20 miles, when It wou.d diverge into the valley of the rreen,. running In an easterly direction, till It struc k the Philadelphia & F.rie road .it Hhettleld. about 35 miles further in. The grades are easy, and for a consid- Col'RT erable distance ale ng the creek valley standard gauge tracks are already laid and in operation ill connection with t'le lumbering interests of Mr. T. D. Collins and his associates. This lumber rou. I now runs from Nebraska. 7 miles up the creek, to Mayliurg. a distance of ulx ut IK miles, and It finds its present outlet or connection with the W. N. Y. & P. over the tracks of the Hickory Valley road, owned by Wheeler & Duz enbuig. to West Hickory. The connec tion with the latter road is made by nieuns tef a spur exteneliug up Ross Run three miles alsive Nebraska, running over the mountain top by means of a ' 7sr . . M- i ' r . I T i j s 1 ir : I ' j!'. .': ' 1 mn " Taaanm v i - switch-hack. A regular line of railroad up the Tionesta valley would open up a rich territory to public travel, give more convenient outlet to the lumbo" Interests and would furnish the Alle gheny road a direct connection wi'.h the Pennsylvania system. At the sum time, It would be of Immense value t Tionesta. Reference has already been made to shale deposits in this neighborhood. These deposits are of such a nature as to warrant more exten led notice. Im mediately across 'the river from the bnrough and back of the Overlander Flour mill, along Hunter run, and ut another point on the mountains close by. are almost limitless deposits of shale suitable for tnnklng both red and buff brick. Mr. T. F. Kitchey, the prom inent Forest county attorney and resi dent of Tionesta, has w ith others been at considerable pains to have those shale deposits thoroughly tested, and Hume effort has already been made looking in the direction of organizing a company. Quantities of the shale have been sent to ltradford. Johsonburg an. I Chicago, and samples of brick manu factured therefrom may lie seen In Mr. Ritchey's ollice. The results were mar velous, the shale being pronounced o the highest quality much better, ill fact, than that used by the ltradford company which enjoys such a high re putation. The forests of Ihis county pro duce pine, hemlock and hard woods, and many thousnnd acres are still uncut. Manufacturing Industrie's that require raw materials of ihis character would certainly find it pro fitable to locate here, where gas fue is cheap. Tl nesta's population Is now esii mated at over l.iinil. and steadily in cieasing. A number of new residence have been erected, and there is n u a vacant house in the town. The Tl ones a Manufacturing Co., an extend d V notice of which follows, gives employ ment to upwards of i men. There aiv two excellent banks, three tine hotels, four churches, a large and hundsom.' brick school where a high school course Is taught, a commodious and well-built court house, where the courts of For est county are held, and a modern jail, constructed after the most approved plans. The town is collected with two telephi ne systems. the Hell lines and the Forest Telephone company, an independent institution whose lines ex- tend to every point ill the county an.l w ith independent companies Clarion, Jefferson, Arnistn an 1 Clearfield ce unties.

No other institution or business or ganization In Tionesta so well illus- I trail's the spirit of enterprise and pro gress that is now being manifested by the people of this growing borough, as does the Tionesta Manufacturing Co. This company manufacturing high r . n ' Manufacturer graele wood mantels mid interior weeod work of like character, although only in ceertiorate existene-e since last spring, and In actual operation since the first lay of October, has already sprung to tile front as the leader id the American market In this particular line of work, and there seems to h no ordinary limit to the possible developement of the In dustry T r the future.

Co. and oil" of F. rest County's most extensive lumber operators. gentl 'man at the head of the active management of the Institution, who stands in the very front rank among the artistic mechanical de signers of the country, the company seems to be in a position to maintain a lead over all similar concerns for somi' time to come. Til company rec-ognize-s no rivals in the- I'niied States, and we might say In the world, in the speed and prompti tude with which it Introduces new, or iginal ami highly artistic designs for wind mantels to the trade. Mr. John H. Swnnson, the expert designer and the inanag-r of the manufacturing de partment of the company, has long bee n recognized by the trade through out the i nited States as all enterpris ing and talented lender In this respect. Inele 'd. lie' is looke d upon as the pioneer inanteluian of the east, by reason of the new. progressive anel artistic meth ods w hieli lie litis introduced with such success Into tile business. A native of Sweden. he was brought up in the wood working and designing trad.his father having been a cabim t and piano maker. Coming to America in early life with his parents, he quickly be fiune embue'd with the 111 re progivs s.ve American ways, and this quality Joined with the taste for art in Wo eel working which h:' inherited from his father and which he did not fail to cul tivtile by means of proper tin ning and practice In schools of design, resulted in pr eluciiig an Ideal artisi-niet hanie, peculiarly qualilled for making head way in this rapid age.
