Glentown Slate Quarry

Trials have been made on an extensive scale at the St Johnstown Slate Quarries, and it is now fully ascertained that an unlimited quantity of Slate can be raised, equal in colour and quality to the best English Slate, and capable of covering 2 1/2 squares per Thousand, (each square 100 superficial feet).

Depots for the sale of these Slates have been opened in Londonderry, at the Old Glasgow Steam Boat Yard, Foyle street; the Canal Basin, Strabane, and others will be opened in Omagh, Castlederg, Irvinstown, & c.  The Slates will be disposed of on terms which will give them a decided preference over English Slates; and it is hoped that Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and all persons requiring Slates, will give encouragement to the employment of the Labourers of the country.  Strabane, 5th April, 1837.
