There once was a pipe company in my town ?

I saw a note on one website that was a register listing of some sort that had it listed as a pipe factory. But I think the listing was much later - like the 40's and have no idea if it is still around. The notation right after this one referenced the area population at something like 15,000 so 25,000 pipes a day just seems huge !?!

Most likely they were selling to another outfit (like a catalog), that would explain the production volume. I Google searched last night and there isn't much online about them, but I do see they lasted at least through the 40s.

Tony, do you have a historical society? A trip over there may be warranted... If you don't, I can always pop over to ours. I'm not sure how far outside of Warren County they venture, but they might at least have contacts for someone better versed in the history of your area.
