Our Bottles Go Abroad.

Five carloads of American-made bottles will be shipped to England by Craven Brothers, proprietors of the

Salem Glass Works, by the "White Star Line next week. '.Phis is the first time that bottles manufactured in this country will be brought into competition with the English-made article in its own market. The first shipment will include 1,000 gross of long-necked bottles. They will be packed in boexs made *to hold two gross each. The order was received yesterday by cable from Lea & Perrins, manufacturers of Worcestershire sauce. The workmen engaged in the manufacture of these bottles earn on an average $5 per day, but by reason of their superior skill Messrs. Craven claim that they can compete in the English market with the cheapest manufacturers abroad and furnish much better bottles than the English can make. The firm are firm believers in tariff reform, and a universal market for their wares. —Philadelphia Record.
