OSTEOPATHY
OSTEOPATHY
ADJUSTMENT THE KEYNOTE
"OSTEOPATHY deals with the body as an Intricate machine, which, if kept in proper adjustment, nourished and cared for, will run smoothly into a ripe and useful old age. As long as the human machine is in order, like the locomotive or any other"mechanical contrivance, it will perform the functions for which it was intended. When' every part of the machine is adjusted and in perfect harmony, health will hold dominion over the human organismi . bylaws-as natural and immutable as the law'ofgravitation. Every living organism has within it the power to manufacture and pre- pare all chemicals, materials and -forces needed to build and repair itself, together with all the machinery and apparatus required to do this work in the most perfect manner."

CAUTION
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraud- ulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of R. L. POLK & CO. printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertisements or subscriptions.

Stabilityzu Permanency
Do you realize that a City Directory advertisement is a testimonial to the per- manency, the stability, of the advertiser?
That's the sort of concern all of us want to patronize, because we know when they sell us merchandise they are behind it in every way, today, tomorrow, and for the years to come.
"Fly-by-night," "fire-sale" and other temporary or "get-rich-quick" concerns rarely appear in the City Direc- tory.
And it is a noteworthy fact that the concerns which advertise one year in the city directory are there again next year. 90% of directory advertising is renewed.
Directory advertising, is prof.table. In connection with the class- ified business headings it is doubly effective.
May we explain how and why it will pay you?

EAST LIVERPOOL
THE POTTERY CENTER OF AMERICA.
By H. B. Barth, Secretary Chamber of Commerce
EAST LIVERPOOL is located in the heart of the Ohio Valley, which is appropriately called the "Work Shop of the World," and on the Lincoln Highway. It is 44 miles west of Pittsburgh, 47 miles north of Wheeling and 104 miles southwest of Cleveland, on the Central Division of the Pennsylvania Lines West. Settled in 1798. Incorpor- ated as a city in 1889. The Federal Census of 1920 credited the city with a population of 21,839.
Directly across the Ohio River and connected by two all-steel suspension bridges and frequent trolley service, are the towns of Chester and Newell, W. Va. The first named with about 3,000 population and the latter about 2,000.
These adjacent towns, together with Wellsville, Ohio, and Midland, Pa., make East Liverpool the center of a pop- ulation of about 40,000 people, with excellent interurban trolley connections.
Abundant fuel-bituminous coal of the famous "Pitts- burgh" quality, natural gas from the West Virginia fields and electric power in unlimited quantity for manufacturing purposes from the largest generating unit in the world at Beach Bottom, W. Va., are other industrial advantages.
East Liverpool is known as the Pottery Center of America, has thirty-nine potteries making general ware and electrical porcelain, and is conspicuous for its 296 bottle-kilns projecting above the roofs of the buildings.
The entire United States forms the chief market, but large quantities are also shipped to Canada, Cuba, the Hawaiian Islands and South America.
The pottery industry of East Liverpool was founded by James Bennett, an English potter, in 1839, who
1
-
INTRODUCTION
found clay in its hills, built a pottery, and manufactured yellow and Rockingham ware. The manufacture of white ware was introduced about 1879, and this was followed by the use of underglaze decorations.
While potteries constitute the chief industry, in addi- tion there are two rubber plants, a steel mill, large machine works, three flint works and numerous small industries.
There is a modern Y. M. C. A., Carnegie Library, ex- cellent schools, including a first-class High School and a Business College, good churches, two city parks, a thoroughly equipped City Hospital, motorized fire depart- ment and City Water Works, including a modern filtration plant, costing one-half million dollars.
THE EAST LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
In every commercial and industrial community there is an organization of business men whose foremost ambi- tion is to promote the natural advantages of the city to their highest stage of development and in advancing the civic ideals of the city. Such an organization is the East Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.
ADVERTISING EAST LIVERPOOL
Copies of this Directory are placed by the publishers in the Directory libraries maintained in the larger cities of the country, where they are accessible for reference. The advantage of this widespread publicity is obvious for there is no medium that contributes more to the develop- ment of a community than a clear exploitation of its re- sources and advantages which is one of the important func- tions of a Directory.
