- Title:
- Engraving of Salt-Works on Kanawha River, W. Va.
- Description:
- 'The Chimneys of the salt works pour forth, at short intervals of space, their curling masses of black vapor, while swarms of laborers, and others connected with these establishments, are continually passing to and for, presenting a pleasing coup d'oeil of incessant activity and industry. Nature, indeed, seems to have been prodigal in her bounties to this intersecting region. The Contiguous forest having been almost stripped to supply the fuels to the salt-furnaces; the precious mineral so necessary to human comfort, must have remained for ever useless but for the discovery of inexhaustible beds of coal, so convenient of access as to make the cost of procuring it scarcely worth considering. Sometimes, by suitable platforms and inclined culverts, it is thrown from the mountain-side immediately to the door of the manufactory, and when more remote from the place of consumption, it is transported with equal ease, in wagons or cars, over rail-roads constructed for the purpose'

- 1945/05
- Description:
- View of the Electro Metallurgical Company Plant at Alloy, W. Va. ' At Alloy, in the Kanawha River Valley in West Virginia, is located one of the ferro-alloy plants of Electro Metallurgical company. Here, ores from the far places of the earth are compounded and smelted in electric furnaces to produce ferro-alloys of chromium, manganese, silicon, vanadium, tungsten, and zirconium -- essential in making iron, steel, and other metals. One of the important products of this plant is low-carbon ferrochrome, which is used in the manufacture of stainless steel for thousands of uses in industry and in the home. A forerunner of the Alloy plant, farther up the river at Glen Ferris, started smelting ferrochrome as early as 1896. Several buildings of the metallurgical works at Alloy are pictured in the color photograph on the reverse. In the photograph can be seen the tall chimneys of the power plant and the brightly lighted windows furnace rooms.'
