fair prospect of having . new manufacturing
Establishment started in our city. Some Of our
businsss men, We understand, assembled the
other day and after full discussion of the matter,
determined to give their influence and capital
toward the building and putting in running or
der, frs. clsss Wooden Factory, on a capital
Of $5o, 400. In the course of the day vs undsr-
stand, some el5, 900 we're subscribed toxards
hs capital stock and we learn frsu tho.s Who
have taken the ini,istOry steps Ii 4he enterprise
thai there 10 every prospect of having the stock
AL subscribed at no distant day. Our friend
JAS. II. srRxKEH, Who has for. the past lew
yeArs conducted suoossEfulIy large msrcantiIs
sstablishmenS In Chicago, has taken the work
ing oar in getting the requisite capital subscribe
cd for this enterprise.
We have trequsntly expressed our views In
reference to the establishment of manufactures
in our city. aud especially Wooden Factory.
We believe in the frat place. that unless We cas-
make manu- acturing town Of Kenoshs, the
value OF city property will grow annually less,
until thoss whe now consider themselves
| wealthy ON seoount OF the possession of suca
property, will hnd Themselves az poor a.
CD urch mouse. And 90 ,ondly We believe tina,
the Husst Of business nsnand property holders
are fast coming TO the same opinion. Thirdly.
we bslleve sahAt there is no better msnufsctu.
| ring point In The State than KsnoshS- Some
think that it is necessary to have water power
TO make manufacturing profitable, but We be-
| ieve there are other advant ages that would
nlors than oountsab Slsnce the extra cost o..
steam a. . motive power, The manu- fscturing
s4sa oishaents that We hsve already ARE not only
doing profitable bus ness for their proprietors
and stock holders, but they are sddinG largely
20 the business of the place and to the value OF
city properly. The extensive Wagon Factories
Of Aensers. p. II. Wood, and Ed Balm, tho Tan
nsrics OF N. L Alls& g. Co., Stsbbins g. Acker-
man and 3. Simmons Co., &c. have sxer-
cised sn influence upon the Interests OF thil
city, that few are aware of, Among the new
establishments lbat have lately gone into oper-
| s;iun aud whose bensfcent influence has not
get been directly felt, We may mention Col.
tiyne's Barrel and Cask Factory, Wheeler q.
| sherwood SA.h. Door aud Blind Factory
| Initt&ker r. Haze new Foundry aud Machine

pie OF Kenoshs County would have to pay nj
