EAST See also:LIVERPOOL , a See also:city of Columbiana See also:county, See also:Ohio, U.S.A., on the Ohio See also:river, about Io6 m. S.E. of See also:Cleveland. Pop. (189o) 10,956; (1900) 16,485, of whom 2112 were See also:foreign-See also:born; (1910 See also:census) 20,387. It is served by the See also:Pennsylvania railway, by river steamboats, and by interurban electric lines. Next to Trenton, New See also:Jersey, East Liverpool is the most important See also:place in the See also:United States for the manufacture of earthen-See also:ware and pottery, 4859 out of its 5228 wage-earners, or 92.9%, being employed in this See also:industry in 1905, when $5,373,852 (83.5 % of the value of all its factory products) was the value of the earthenware and pottery. No other city in the United States is so exclusively devoted to the manufacture of pottery; in 1908 there were 32 See also:potteries in the city and its immediate vicinity. The manufacture of See also:white ware, begun in 1872, is the most important See also:branch of the industry—almost See also:half of the " cream-coloured," white See also:granite ware and semivitreous See also:porcelain produced in the United States in 1905 (in value, $4,344,468 out of $9,195i703) being manufactured in East Liverpool. Though there are large See also:clay deposits in the vicinity, very little of it can be used for crockery, and most of the clay used in the city's potteries is obtained from other states; some of it is imported from See also:Europe. After 1872 a large number of skilled See also:English pottery-workers settled in the city. The city's product of pottery, terra-See also:cotta and fireclay increased from $2,137,063 to $4,105,200 from 1890 to 'goo, and in the latter See also:year almost equalled that of Trenton, N.J., the two cities together producing more than half (50.9%) of the See also:total pottery product of the United States; in 1905 East Liverpool and Trenton together produced 42.1 % of the total value .of the See also:country's pottery product. The See also:municipality owns and operates its See also:water-See also:works.
