Old Colony Plant Improving
We are authoritatively informed that the shipment from the works of the Old Colony Coal & Coke Co north of town is steadily increasing that that the plant will be enlarged by the building of more ovens to be added to the one hundred already in operation which will require more men. The largest shipment of any one day was recently made when 29 large cars left the plant for Latrobe terminus of the L.V.R.R. to be taken on by the P.R.R. The greatest difficulty is to secure sufficient cars for the increasing trade.
