This Company will manufacture plows,
williamsburg goods &C.. and conduct a
general foundry business. Itis the desire
OF the Company to Increase its capital, from
time to time, to the maximum allowed. and
we are informed that a subscription to the
stock of from $4,000 to $4,000, will ena-
Bile the Company to double their business
the present year. There is demand for
their goods greatly beyond their means at
present to supply, and we therefore urge
upon our business men-merchants, far.
mers and others-to aid, by their subscrip.
tons, in increasing the manufacturing facil.
tiles of this Company. They will not only
derive large percentage from the invest
ment, but will take the initiative in yery
important interest to this community and
section, that of building up manufacturing
establishments on large scale by aggrega-
ted surplus capital, for the manufacture, at
home, of all needed articles.
Instead Of employing Is hands as at pres.
ent, if the business be doubled, the number
OF employees must be doubled, This, we
think, should be sufficient inducemcnt for
our business men to take all the stock need
ed, at once. This increase of skilled EN-.
ployees would bring from abroad from Is to
100 more Inhabitants, who would be con-
sumers of home productions and customers
OF home merchants, which will be increased
as the business of this Company increases,
as it must, to two, three and perhaps many
times that number. The success of this
Company (and the past experience of these
works. with the organization of Company
to furnish increased capital to supply great
er demands, argues its certain success, J
must induce the establishment of other man
ufacturing interests here ca as large if not
larger scale, and, hence, we urge upon our
readers to take hold of this matter, and fur
nish the means to supply all the demands of
this section in that line, and keep our mon
ey at home and give steady aad paying en-
ploymont to our laboring men.

titled to his time and feed, and has been

mined that he shall be kindl y cared for,
and every opportunity given him to live on,
which, from his present appearance, may be
for many years.
