,.ncral subject of manu-
~-e which opens up an endles
III of magnificent promises. Through 1T
cy cities thrive and grow, and their peo
tain great wealth. We have yet little
,st Of in this direction, but now is The
small beginnings, which should moi
,e-pised. Every infant enterprise needs
be nourished and aided, and SO long as
this can be accomplished with present and
prospective profit to the people, due regard
for business advancement sugg ssts its entire
propriety.
The location of a cigar factory in our
midst by +. Hirshstein, has been repeatedly
noticed in these columns. Many Of our
readers have given the circumstance passing
thought, and others have doubtless reflected
or the general good which might come out
of the enterprise. Mr.. Hirshstein has his
factory now in full operation, and is giving
employment 10 seven men. He is mann-
featuring all grades Of cigars, from the
cheapest to the best Havana straight, and
has a sufficient stock OF Yankton made cigars
on hand 10 enable him to fill all orders
which may come to him. Seventeen years
experience in the manufacturing business
gives to Mr.. Hirshtein a correct idea of the
wants Of the trade and he has the facilities
to compl tely cater to thope wants. So long
as he furnishes qualities of goods equal to
those furnished Ivy foreign dealers and cells
them at prices as low as the pr ices g ven by
outside houses it is not only the interest,
but the duty Of local dealers to turn in
their orders to this home institution. A few
figures may have a convincing effect. We
have gone into the subject for our own satis-
fact, II, and find that an average Of IS 600
per month il paid by Yankton dealers for
the cigars they retail and Wholesale. This
amounts to $4,000 per year, aud all this
money is sent out of Yankton. 1t requires
no argument to convince the people that
$3.50 0 kept in circulation at home would
make US as a community just $4,000
richer. Mr.. Hirah-.ein employs men to
work for him. These men live out of what
they earn. The money for their labor is
turned back into the pockets Of the
community which gives it to them,
through Mr.. Hirshstein, their employer.
He pays rents, and taxes and the
various little e,ceteras which are nec,s-
cessarv to bo'h business and private
life. Encouraging patronage to a home
manufacturing Blu mess increases and builds
up that business, and the increase becomes
an item Of importance 10 the people who
are dependent upon the wants of each other
for the support they enjoy.
Mr. Hirshs,ein's cigar factory " use as an
illustration of an idea which should take
root and grow and bear abundant fruit. He
is a new conner in our midst and has embark.
ed in a business wherein he must necessarily
encounter the drawn ,ck Of established bust
I,ess usages, all of which tend to the patron
age Of outside houses without any
good reason for it. There are many
articles of Common consumption which
could be as we'll manufactured at home as
abroad. One successful enterprise of this
sort invites others, while one failure in
This line is to a like extent a disaster
TO the public, and the public is the suf-
ferer. Our wi experience in the
manufacturing business enables US TO
judge more accurately than we otherwise
could of its general benefit to a business
community. A large proportion Of the
money which passes over our counter is
passed back to the fifteen or twenty en-
ployes who perform the manual labor.
The. in turn, give it back to those from
whom we receive it. In case The
manufactured articles we produce
were purchased in a foreign mar
ket the morey would go to enrich anoth-
er community at the expense Of this com.
munlty. So it is in the purchase Of all ar.
tic!es Of consumption. The aim should be
to keep our funds a, home for home ~circula-
ton. This is our reason for urging the
people to patronize Mr.. Hirshstein's enter
prise. He is competent to supply all their
wants in his line. His success will encour-
age otner branches of manufacture. By
aiding such objects each and every individ.
ual is aiding his own advancement. Let us
make a beginning in the right direction and
send no more money out of Yankton for
cigars SO long as Mr. .Hirshstein is here to
supply, with the home made article, the de.
mand for that class Of merchandise.
