WHAT THE POTTERIES ARE DOING

 

East Liverpool

and Vicinity

The former ten-kiln plant of the American Electric Porcelain Co., in the East End, has been purchased by the D. E. McNichol Pottery Co., of this city, and within sixty days will be operated as a yellow ware pottery. The company has been operating a two-kiln yellow ware shop here for years, but the demand for this class of merchandise has compelled the concern to secure larger capacity. With twelve kilns it will be the largest manufacturer of yellow ware in the trade. The interior of the plant is to be remodeled so that the making of ware can start December 1 and shipments follow January 1. During the war the company was compelled to limit its output to necessary staples. With increased capacity the line will be considerably broadened, a number of former items restored, and new ones introduced.
