Der that. on several occasions of late.
we have mentioned the fact of the Or
ganization ofa company entitled the
Home Manufacturing Company. made
up generally of the farmers of Linn,
Marion and Polk counties. the intent
and purpose of the Company being to
enter into the manufacture Of wagons,
plows, and other implements and ma
chimes demanded by the farmers of
this State. As soon as the whole
amount Of capital stock was subscribed
a meeting OF. the stockholders was
called, to organize by the election OF
officers, select 4 place to erect the
necessary shops. and get ready tor
business. At this meeting, held at
Salem. October 18th, 1871, seven Di-
rectors were elected. four of whom are
from Linn county. one fiom Marion
and two from Polk. vt Il sbSequent

thus explicit in placing full state
ment of the whole matter before our
readers, that all may thoroughly un-
dcrstand just what is demanded to Sc
cure the erection of the factory in this

men of Salem are thoroughly aroused
as to the interest at stake, and will
''come down" handsomely in the way

the Co. 5 works there. BE this as it
may. we hope every property-holder
in the city of Albany, fully realizing
the vast benefit to accrue from the

of this branch of industry in this city
at this time is of more Importance,
and of greater vital interest to our
future prosperity and growth, than
