This article appears in Volume V02, Page 75 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANNONAY , a town of
south
 -eastern France, in the north of the department of Ardeche, 50 M. S. of Lyons by the Paris-Lyons railway. Pop. (1906) 15,403. Annonay is built on the hill overlooking the
meeting
  of the deep gorges of the Deome and the Cance, the waters of which
supply
  power to the factories of the town. By means of a dam across the Ternay, an affluent of the Mime, to the north-west of the town, a reservoir is provided, in which an additional
supply
  of water, for both industrial and domestic purposes, is stored. At Annonay there is an obelisk in honour of the
brothers
  Montgolfier, inventors of the
balloon
 , who were natives of the place. A tribunal of commerce, a board of
trade
 -arbitrators, a branch of the Bank of France, and chambers of commerce and of arts and manufactures are among the public institutions. Annonay is the
principal
  industrial centre of its department, the
chief
  manufactures being those of leather, especially for gloves,
paper
 , silk and silk goods, and flour. Chemical manures, glue, gelatine, brushes,
chocolate
  and candles are also produced.
