Coke Ovens Again
Oliver Bros. have purchased all the material to build 800 coke ovens on their coal land five miles from Ligonier. The work will be commenced at once and railroad connection will be made at Ligonier or Bolivar. The coke is to be used at the Clairton Steel works. It has been tested, showing a superior quality. The company now owns 1,100 acres of coal in the very heart of the Ligonier valley. Greensburg Press.
