Factories May Move to Pomeroy From Newcomerstown and Dennison
Kilgore of Columbus proposed combining his Newcomerstown cast iron toy plant and Dennison cap and ammunition plant into a single river town operation in Pomeroy. The Salt Products Building would host the enterprise, with a $25,000 preferred stock offering and equal local board representation. Payroll ~ six thousand five hundred dollars monthly, about half men half women earning around ninety dollars monthly. A Kiwanis Club inspection preceded a Monday night meeting chaired by Judge Peoples, with a committee named to study the proposal.
