prohtabl, enterprises arc correct. small

there are openings her, for the manufacture of
articles on small scale. OF first, that ia other
PLACES would be seized upon end turned TO Cd
vantage and great profit. Agricultural impls-
meats, carriages. wagons and other vehicles
shoes, IS. nails, broons, barrels. gloves, and
many other articles of prime Importance could
be made here at q COS! that could enable them
to be Iut upon the market so So to compete
With similar articles manufactured anywhere

an establishment for the building Of freight and

Is 50 great that i. cannot be promptly met, and

why should it no: BE- SO here? We are aware
that complaint is often made that such and
