When we look about and see the
many advantages that Norristown pos
sesses as a manufacturing point il is a
little wonder that more factories are not
established here. If some Of our enter
pfising msneYed-men would risk per-
tiOn of their capital in starting manu-
features, and giving proper attention
to such, we believe their returns would
be most satisfactory, and we know the
town would be greatly benefited by
such industries. The fact Is Morris
town must organize factories. Whsr-
ever manufacturing establishments have
been planted in the South, nothing but
good has followed in their train. Every
surrounding interest has prospered, and
every neighborhosd and family felt I'm
some degree advantages before un-
known. Money has circulated easier,
and agriculture has been stimulated
and made more profitable. In brief,
every condition, mechanical, physical,
or otherwise, has been materially bet
tered-the people, the country. and all.
No other section than ours presents
such advantages for manufacturing es-
tablishments; no other country than
ours, perhaps, needs them more. Let
Us then encourage them all we can,
and they will bring to Morristown
prosperity and give our mechanics all
the work they can do. Skillful me-
chanics are as crcditabls to town as
professional men. We want talented
representative .man aud we want in
telligent workmen. We should, con-
slider the importance Of both. Ii is the
