of such men as Ballard, Fast s. Co.
Joseph Biechele's Steam Soap Factory

land and Myers's mills on the east creek
continuework as usual. 1881 !,
We must not omit to mention aheCar-
rage Mandatory of Wertz & King on
, Seventh street and Poplar. This is one Of
the most prosperous and deserving of Can
toms establishments, as all win testify
who have tried their work. They sell car
riages TO, Cleveland. MassilIon and other
j points.
We have thus named our leading man
ufactories, only with a view Of showing to
the outside world that they continue in
well doing and that they are. n and ALL
well established and prosperous. Oh
course. canton's prosperity and growth
are intimately connected with the contin-
ued prosperity of her manufacturing in
terests. Those interests are immense
involving a yearly trade Of millions Of
dollars. Let every true cantonian and
every friend of Canton consider this mat
ter. All our material interests are init,
mately connected with those great manu-.
featuring interests. These are not excell'
ed anywhere and valuable patents owned
by citizens draw tribute from all parts o
tie country. Besides, 50 long as mother
eaith is TILED for the purpose Of growing
grain, so long will there be demsnd for tht
machines made SO extensively in Canton
In fact all manufacturing establish
ments are engaged in turning out articles
Of necessity. Instead of a dimipution Q
Canton's manufactures they are on the in
crease and we are confident they vii
continue "a increase from year to year
provided always CanteniAns. q and all
continue, to encourage. the same by wor,
and act. s.
