HI TOM....THE POTTERIES IN TRENTON WERE KNOWN THE WORLD OVER AND THEY IN TURN CAUSED THE DEATH OF MY FATHER. HE WORKED AT THE VERITAS FIRING SYSTEM CO. FOR MANY YEARS AND DEALT WITH CLAY CONSTANTLY. THEY MANUFACTURED A SYSTEM THAT MEASURED THE TEMPERATURE OF THE OVENS THAT BAKED CHINAWARE. HE WAS URGED TO USE A MASK BUT VERY SELDOM DID. HE CONTACTED CANCER AND DIED AT THE AGE OF 52. I WORKED WITH HIM FOR A FEW YEARS BUT ONLY ON THE PRESS THAT MADE THE PRODUCTS. I LEFT IN 1940 TO WORK AT THE POST OFFICE (THANK GOD). BEST REGARDS.
