Early Maine Match Factory.

Bath had a match factory 60 years ago, • when every one thought there was a fortune to be made in their manufacture. Miss Jane Shaw of Bath has some of the matches manufactured in the Bath shop. They are of pine, shorter than the matches of the present day, and hand dipped.— Kennebec Journal.
