HOW is l.HIS2


Kan Lock and Novelty Works, was
in the city yesterday. While here Mr..
Smith informed several of our business
men that he thought seriously of NOV
ing his establishment to Fort Scott,
and looked about while here for lOca-
ton. He went south yesterday and
will take look at several other places
before locating. The works now 10
Gated OF lola consist of a large quanti-
ty of machinery and he now employs
about twenty-five skilled workmen.
Should he move the works to this city
he could double his force. He does
good work and all our hardware men
have locks upon their shelves bought
of him. Some steps ought to be taken
to encourage Mr.. Smith to come to this
city with his establishment. Such an
institution would be an acquisition in
the manufacturing line and an institu-
ton that would eventually grow into
a very large one Mr.. Smith will visit
the city again i'm day or two and our
citizens ought to confer with him upon
the subject.-FOrt Scott Monitor,
