Each of the four factories will disburse from $12,000 to $15,000 monthly in wages which means from $48,000 to $60,000 in the aggregate.

The success of the undertaking is assured from the fact that the output of the company is already contracted for. The product will be a good grade of plain and decorated table china-ware. As a whole, the flourishing new town that is soon to appear, will add materially to Westmoreland's greatness and prove a source of gratification to the community in which it is located. This will be gratifying news to many Ligonier valley people who not only own property in that town, but have many friends there who will be benefitted by the town's prosperity. Property which has had little or no sale has suddenly advanced in price and rents have gone up with a strong demand for houses.
