A PROSPEROUS POTTERY. 



A. H. Mews & Co., Inc.. of Cam- 

 bridge. Mass., are now running their 

 plant at full capacity after a partial cur- 

 tailment the past month due to heavy 

 additions which they were obliged to 

 make. Two new boilers, kilns, dyna- 

 mo and f-pecial machinery for prepar- 

 ing clay have been installed, and their 

 output has been greatly increased. 

 The firm has maintained for some 

 years a large warehouse in Long Islund 

 Cit> . but has now opened a similar 

 branch in Chicago to facilitate the 

 handling of their western business. 



This concern having constantly in 

 mind the welfare and plea.sure of its 

 employes, has provided a large recrea- 

 tion room. 2.5x3C ft., with pool and bil- 

 liard tables, various kinds of games 

 and reading matter. 



The outlook for a prosperous year i.s 

 particularly bright and according to 

 present indications this plant will be 

 run to it3 full capacity during the sea- 

 son now opening.
