THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY. 
Although one of the largest menhaden factories on the coast is 
located at Tiverton, R. I., producing nearly half a million dollars’ 
worth of oil and fertilizer, very few menhaden are credited to the 
catch of this state. This is due to the fact that the factories are sup- 
plied by vessels owned in New York State.
