Capitalized at $250,000, the new organization will take over the Queen City Pottery Works, in North Denver, and the Denver China and Pottery Company, in West Denver. Negotiations will also be made for the Denver Stoneware Company, the only other pottery concern in the city. Over $100,000 will be spent in enlarging the plants acquired. It is the intention of the incorporators, all of whom are Denver business men, to increase the capacity of the plants until they can supply the entire Western country. Later it is contemplated to make inroads in the Oriental trade. Merritt W. Gano, who is the head of the new undertaking, will act as manager of the concern. The others interested with Mr. Gano and who will form the board of directors are Frank R. Ashley, George W. Gano, George E. Crawford and Gerald Hughes.
