Sanford, May 16—One of the numerous new industries in the Sanford district which has gained a nation-wide reputation virtually overnight is the North State Pottery company, a few miles from town, says the Sanford Banner. Although the plant has been in operation but a few weeks its success has been assured from the opening day, and already orders have been received from Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Waterbury, Conn., and other remote cities.
The pottery is in the natural color of the clays from which it is made. Within a quarter of a mile of the plant on property owned by Mr. Cooper are deposits of white, red, brown, gray, blue, red and black. Combinations of these natural colors make possible an almost unlimited range of shades.
