NoRTH EAST, Sept. 1.-The question of
starting canning establishment here is still
being agltated. and if the projectors study
their interests. and our citizens give them the
encouragement that they or any other capt.
talists who propose locating in our midst
should receive, there il no doubt this enter
prise will be IL success. Ii il an indisputable
fact that an Improvement OF one particular
piece of property will enhance the value of
that of the whole town. Real estate owners
should think well of this, and when Il manu-
facturer proposes to buy, they should encour-
age him by selling Mt the lowest possible
figure, thereby becoming i'll measure public
benefactors, not only improving the worth of
their remaining property. but enhancing the
prosperity of the whole borough. North East
is particularly well located for the business
above referred to. situated upon the line OF
the r., W. ~ Il. railroad, about half way be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore. with
good water front. which will soon be greatly
improved by the expenditure of S5,OOO. APP
propriatei by the Government for the widen
ing and deepening Of the channel; thus we
have ample facilities for shipment by rail or
water.
Another advantage that should not be over
looked. viz North East il already a man
uiacturing town beginning with Mccullough
Iron Works, consisting of rolling mill, FORCES
and sheet iron mills then we have John
White Co. Il razor Strop works Green Hill
stove tile works Cecil fire brick and and
tile stove works Day Brothers basket
factory an extensive pottery Gardy's car
riage manuiactory and an extensive general
merchandising business this all goes to
make the place an active business centre.
The Mccullough Iron Company gives EN-
plOyment to several hundred men. Many of
them have large families depending upon
ll...... e.. 4 4
their half-grown sons chance at some EN-
ployment suitable to their age, and canning
establishment would open mp such chance
and the proprietors of such an establishment
would have the opportunity to avail them
selves of this abundance of labOr-labor
especially adapted to their business. Again.
We are surrounded by a country especially
adapted to raising produce suitable for can
ming purposes Many of our farmers ON Elk
Neck would turn their attention to truck
farming and the many colored people would
become occupied Il portion of the year at
least, i'll gathering berries. all abundance of
which grow in the vicinity. If either of the
gentlemen who have this matter in contempa-
ton, will give the foregoing facts serious con-
sideration they cannot but see that there is no
other place in the county that offers such i'll
ducements.
