On the 26th day of September a
notice first appeared in this paper that
‘an application would be made to the
Governor of Pennsylvania on Friday,
- October 25th, A. D. 1895; by F. E. Me-
Elfresh, A. E. Patton, Jas. Kerr, (eo.
8. Good, W. IL Sandford and E. C.

corporation to be known as the “Pat-
ton Clay Manufacturing Compaay,”
the object of which would be to man-
ufacture and cleal in ali the products of
fire clay such as vitrified tile or sewer
pipe, fire prcofing for building pur-
underground electric wires, otc. "The
application followed a meeting held in
the Chest Creek Land and Improve-
ment company’s office on August 22d,
at which were present Gen. Geo. J.

and E. C. Brown, superintendent of

The preliniinary arrangements were
made and an executive commmittee
consisting of E. C. Brown, W. H. Sanc-

‘ized to have the necessary plans pre-

The muin building, for ‘which the |

with four floors of vellow pine, slate |

heated by steam and contain all the |
. latest improvements in sewer pipe and
fire proofing and other material used |
in the manufacturing of clay goods.
The manager of the new operation,
F. E. McElfresh, has invented some
- valuable devices as the result of a life
time spent in the manufacture of clay
products and they will be used in this |
plant exclusively.

Contracts for machinery, including
all shafting. pullies, belting, etc., have
been awarded to J. W. Penfield & Son,
of Willoughby, O., who were Pr

all the sewer pipe presses, brick ma.

pany will begin operations with eight
kilns. It will manufacture its own
brick as a brick machine is to be put in
Loperation at once.
The location of the plant ia in the
north-west corner of Patton borough, |
in the Flannigan run valley, where the
Chest Creek Land mui Improvement
company has donated ten acres of
surface with valuable concessions as to
‘clay and coal. Itis an ideal location
for such an industry. The coal and clay
being within a few feet of the works
reduces the expenses for raw material
to a minimum. A railroad siding will
be built from the Flannigan run branch
and an abundant sopply of water is
available. A number of practical
clay manufaturers have inspected the
location and some have said they con-
sidered it the finest location they have
ever seen. - The clay is about six feet
thick and overlaid with about three
feet of coal.
This industry in this location has the |
advantage of two lines of railroad to

S. J Luther, of White township, was

seating capacity of about forty-five
pupils. It is the finest school house in
| hat township.
Will One be Built Here?
Frugality will soon have a new rail-
road station, a building costing $2,000
or more, A correspondent says that
the work is now being pushed right

that the side track will be changed and
general outside improvements made,
none of which comes before needed.

market already for its products, as Mr.
McElfresh is now shipping about 600
cars yearly from his West Virginia
Shan, This business will all be brought
to the Patton plant and as he considers
the clay and the location and natural
advantages so much above what they
are in West Virginia, he anticipates a
much larger trade here. He will aban-
don that operation entirely as far as he
is concerned and will move his family
to Patton and become a resident.
’ "Work Has Commenced.
The ground has been broken for the
new industry and within thirty days
the foundations are to be completed |
according to contrict and sixty days
from the completion of the foundations
the contractors agree under heavy
penalty to complete the superstructure
or main building proper. Work on
the mine will soon be begun, the
engine and boilers located and put in
place, the kilns erected and within a
few months the plant will be in full
_operation and furnishing employment.
to nearly a hundred men.
The advantages to Patton by such a
plant located within its borough
limits are very great; merchants and
business men will derive a direct bene- |
fit thereof. It will furnish employment
to a large number of men and will be
j an industry ‘that is not affected by the
| causes that depress the coal business.
