Western States Porcelain factory in Richmond, CA

PORCELAIN INDUSTRY THRIVES.

The Western States Porcelain Plant is rushing additional buildings, which amount in effect to new factories, for they will turn out two additional lines of goods, table china, and solid porcelain bathtubs. Like the other two porcelain and bathtub plants here, the Western States, which is the newest in the field, is prospering and sees a great business ahead. Plentiful supplies of clay in this State and the fact that oil fuel is better for burning the ware than coal, even at Eastern prices, give the Richmond factories clean possession of the field over Eastern factories. This industry here is expected to reach great magnitude, both to the prosperity and the fame of Richmond.
