The Southern Co-operative Foundry was in Rome, Georgia. It was incorporated in 1898 and closed in 1971. It manufactured a full line of cook stoves and wood or coal burning stoves as well as grates and kettles. I have two of their old catalogs from the 1908-1912 era. Their cook stoves were the "Dixie" line. Their products were very well cast and are collectible today.
