Youngstown Bakers Deliver Bread to New Bedford
Bakers from Youngstown began delivering bread to New Bedford due to an improved highway toward the Lawrence county line west of New Bedford. Merchants in New Bedford prefer New Castle suppliers if possible, but the main hurdle is the poor road. Once the New Bedford road connects to the Ohio state road, New Castle trade may shrink unless a good route is built. Citizens nearby urge and pledge to help fund the project.
