BOWEN 8 K1NGsBURY. Prop'ts:
Yankton's faithful and continued
efforts towards introducing manufacture
ing industries are beginning to exhibit
results. There are number of manu-
featuring establishments in full opera.
tion in our midst, others are in course of
construction and others manifest dis
position to locate within our city. The
first dif1iculty-that Of inducing manu-.
featuring capital to turn its attention in
our direction-has been overcome and in
the future it will be less and less diff
cult to secure the enterprises which give
to city solid and permanent growth.
The experience of eastern communities
demonstrates that one manufacturing
establishment in prosperous condition
is certain to bring others, operating in
different fields Of labor, but all valuable
adinncts to general progress. There arc
many articles for which there is con-
stant demand which can be more eco
nomically produced here than in the
cities of the east, because it is here that
the raw material exists and it is more
economical to ship the manufactured
goods than the crude and bulky com.
modities from which they are
made. AS an example, Yankton's
pork packing house will reduce the
freight upon its swine to the weight of
those portions Of the hog which are used
for actual consumption. Our wooden
mill will transform the heeces of our
Hocks to compact rolls OF cloth which
can be carried to the market at much
less expense than the raw material. And
so on, through the entire list. Labor
can be much more cheaply sustained
here than in the large commercial cen.
tiers and pleasant abiding place is af-
forded the toilers who fill our manufac-
turing establishments.
1t is Of the greatest Importance to our
community that it continue to encourage
the coming of men who have learned the
art of making something for which there
is general demand. Upon the broad
acres tributary to our city hax is pro.
duced in wonderful abundance. From
the seed of the plant oil is manufactured
and the stalk is transformed by me-
chanlcal process into tow. 1t will re-
qnire no argument to convince the pub
lie that it is cheaper to reduce, here
where it is grown, this product to it.
final condition for use than te
ship it in bulk to some eastern
point, there to undergo the trans.
formation. The location OF pork pack
ing house renders necessary the location
of an establishment for the manufacture
OF barrels. An oil mill would necessarily
increase the working facilities of this
barrel factory. So one industry bring
another. There is no spot upon th,
green earth where garden products grow
more readily than here or attain create
perfection. To convey these products
to the consumer it is necessary to pre-
serve them. and there are in variou
parts Of the country thousands OF opera
tives who have been taught to perform
this work. These goods are put up il
tin cans, sealed, labeled and made read,
for the market. This branch OF industr
could be protitably pursued here and it
introduction would add two establish
ments to the productive force of til
communlty-one for the manufacture c
tin cans and the other for placing til
products Of our ready soil within th
cans. These goods after being came
must be boxed, and this process woul
render necessary large increase in til
working capacity of the establishment
which makes boxes for our soap factory
1t is thus demonstrated tia
one manufacturing industry of necessit
brings others and all bring men an

ton, capital aud trade and adding to til
valuation Of real estate. Any establish
ment which consumes the raw product
OF the adjacent prairies makes the city
market for those products. The none
received for the raw material is e,
changed by the producer for the nece!
saries and luxnries of life and the none

material into merchantable commoditit

dition of trade is the result aud to me.
