The contractor for Thomas says the equipment is almost ready

The contractor who is building the new pottery at New Castle states that the buildings of the plant are now about completed and that the work on the construction of the nine kilns is progressing rapidly.

Jean Jester, representing the company supplying the machinery for this pottery, was in the city this week and stated that all of the machinery was on the ground and was being put in position as rapidly as possible.

Mr. Jester also stated that the greater portion of the machinery for the Thomas China Co. plant at Lisbon was also completed and that it would be shipped to that place just as soon as the buildings were ready to receive it.
