Covington Rail Mill Company
   This company is now prepared with the best new and improved machinery to fill orders for rerolling Railroad Bars as the shortest notice, as the Mill has the capacity to turn out 180 tons a week.
   In rerolling Railroad Bars, one third new iron is added to the old, to make a Rail that will not laminate and insure a perfect weld.
   Street Railroad Bars can also be furnished, of any pattern required, and new Railroad Bars of different lengths and sizes.
   All orders shall receive prompt and careful attention, and as none but the best materials will be used in the hands of skillful workmen, the Company hope to give entire satisfaction to those who may favor it with their custom.

{This notice is included as an indication of what the newest re-rolling mills were doing. There was great need for re-rolling mill capacity in the South and several mills were started, but none progressed to serious construction.}
