Many persons say they will soon visit the cement works, as if to say "I wonder what they have over there" and "is it worth while looking at?" There is not a plant in Ironton that has the prospective qualities of a money maker that it has. We never knew its capacity, but from the continual progress of cement building and road making we prophecy that it will take a long time to fill orders when it starts.
        The immense crushing power of the machinery and the way every part of it is placed, to save handling, makes one feel in advance that the whole works will be something to be proud of, and the number of hands-employed and the wages they make will advance the value of property and make business stands an object in that end of the city.
        We learn that a large department store, maintained for the convenience of the hands, and that all the necessaries and nearly all the luxuries of life will be kept in it for the accommodation of the workmen.
        We wish abundant success to Mr. Steece and his company, who are preparing to develop some others of our resources besides iron. Many other treasures are to be found in the same territory, and finally capital will come to make Ironton extend over Ice Creek, on iron bridges.
