THE LANCASTER FARMER 



The Newark Machine Co. will arise at once 



from its ashes. 

 The Newark Machine Co., of Newark, 0., whose 

 factory burned on Saturday morning, July .^th, con 

 sumed a large number of Clover Hullers, Griiln 

 Drills, Kakes, Monarch FaD6, &c. A lame force of 

 men are now at work building Clover Hullers, Grain 

 Drills &c. They are getting out material at the B. 

 & O. Shops, al Zaiiesville, and John H. Thomas & 

 Sons, Springfield, who have kindly tendered them 

 their factories, at which places they are getting out 

 the woodwork for Clover Hullers, <&c.', and expect to 

 have some on the market by August 1st. They have 

 received many letters and tilegrams from dllTerent 

 manufacturers throughout the U. S., offering them 

 aid in any way. The firms that have heretofore sup- 

 I>lied them with raw material, have telegraphed 

 them, oflerlng anything they may have that could be 

 used in the construction of their implements, at low 

 prices and long credits. Their Insurance is about 

 $250,000, distributed among 61 flrst-elass companies 

 in this Country and Europe, and the adjusters are 

 now there and at work aiid expect to finish the whole 

 thing soon. Tfie Company has commenced building 

 one shop 22.5 feet by 40 feet, 2 stories high, and SCO 

 feet of shedding, to be used for work shop and paint 

 room, and they expect to be ready after August 1st 

 to fill any orders in their line of goods.
