"While at Cedar Falls, recently
we ran through several Touring mills,
the WOODEN mill and sash, door &
blind factory of E. M. Stead & Co.
We received foretoken of what will
sooner or later be I'm existence In
our city. These mills are the breatl,
of life TO Cedar Falls; without them
she would not boast greatly for any
substantial progress. With them her
prosperity will not only be perma-
nent but constantly on the increase.
Ii was gratifying to receive assur.
ance that the wooden mill Is now run
at q good profit. Attic outset, when
men who were entirely ignorant OF
the business attended It's manage
ment, thousands Of dollars were
sunk; but experienced, reliable men
now have full control and the move
ment is proving profitable. The mill
is run night and day, and never lacks
patronage. Wool growing is just
now at low ebb, but the cycle OF
prosperity has its ups and downs,
and the present depression will soon
give place to active prosperity.
