SHE ULMAN rhS'o"
The Ulman Wooden Factory, o
= this place, started and carried Tor
ward solely BY the enterprise anc
capital of Mr.. A.. A. Ulman, q GU
zen of the Bay OF st. Louis, a native
of New Orleans, seems to have
Strung into existence almost oy
magic. The tall pines surround
and almost ~Overshadow it, and the
new pine stumps are seen all around
the new factory not yet twelve
months old. 1t stands 500 feet from
the railroad, two miles from the
deuot, and half q mile from the
Gulf shore. Here are magnificent
pine parks aud a dry and level
surface all around and beyond the
factory in thousands of acres, and
a fine site for u thrifty and pop
ulous manufacturing town which
bids fair to spring up here. The
new buildings that are going up are
all ofthem well and neatly construc-
ted and being built by Mr.. James
a Ulman, father OF the proprietor
of the factory, an old an expert
enced builder who built most of
the fine houses in the town of Bay
st. Louis, architectural proportions
are attended to and the beauty of
the young manufacturing village
properly cared for. 7n
The goods manufactured here
are cassimeres, jeans, tweeds,
shawls, blankets and other wooden
goods. These goods took the
premium and were covered all over
with blue ribbon at the late fare at
New Orleans, and were particularly
admired by the ladys and good
judges who visited the fair, as the
centre of attraction to all the visi-
tors. That such articles, so sub
Stantial, so complete, so full Of
merit and beauty, SO useful and so
cheap, could he made here on South
ern soil, within tifty,two miles of
the city of New Orleans, OH the
Gulf shore, seemed astonishing to
all who learned the fact. These
articles are now ordered largely by
Tennessee merchants, and lately or
ders come in from the New Orleans.
The orders have cone faster than
they can be filled. ,al ..rtl. .e
The machinery in the Ulman
factory is all OF the best kind and
latest improvements, and the work
men have been selected with an
eye to their superior merit and skill.
The factory is well lighted and
conveniently planned AMI arrang-
ed. The machinery is dri ven by IA
powerful engine, which has force
enough not only for factory purpose
but to run Il saw mill located by it's
side.
The streets have all been laid ont
for "a manufacturing town-streets
fifty feet wide, the factories at the
centre-and lots will be sold cheap
to mechanics and operatives, and
others, and Industrious and useful
men will be encouraged to settle
these lots and improve the
place.
This factory is on the border of
