Thomas H. Sant & Sons Co.
East Liverpool, OH
17 Shipments
A Thomas Sant & Sons Co., with a very inconsistent middle initial, is
listed as the shipper in a significant portion of the outbound shipments
from Oreminea, yet no other clay pit, siding, or mining company appears to
have been based in Oreminea besides the Woodbury Clay Co. So who is this
mysterious figure? The Thomas H. Sant & Sons Co. was
a clay brokerage firm based in East Liverpool, Ohio, operating from YEAR
YEAR YEAR YEAR. While the Woodbury Clay Co. itself shipped largely to
manufacturers of refractory brick, and steel mills where refractory products
would be molded on-site, the activities of the Thomas H. Sant Co. introduced
additional variety to our list of shippers. They marketed various grades of
clay from mines across Pennsylvania, Ohio and elsewhere to manufacturers of
pottery, insulators and other ceramic products, usually on a per-carload
basis. Finish description later.
