The DUEBER WATCH CASE
MAMIE ACTURING CO

short year we nave 70 stay IN Newport
will seem a century; l am patiently
counting the days, though they pass very
slow. There is not q single man In our
legation who would not rather be in
Canton to-day than In Newport. My
candid opinion of Canton with Its
beautiful surroundings, its lakes, its
streets and buildings, and last, though
not least, its generous, kind-hearted and
liberal citizens) Is: II would not give
one block OF Canton for all of Newport"
| think his is the sentiment of the
whole delegation, forty-One strong. The
boys don't know how to express their
thanks for the "TOysl reception" we re-
ceived from the citizens of Canton gen.
| orally.
For the time being our money was N.
G. We could not spend cent. This
was not only In one place, but, like an
epidemic, 1t was spTea d all over the city.
Nobody would accept Newport money.
am confident you will be amply repaid
in the near fu uTe.
We will try and arrange an excursion
soon, so that all the boys can go. How
we will succeed | will let you know in
short time. send my regards to all
| met during my brief stay, hoping soon
to be one OF them, % CsntOnian."
Yours, very truly, B.
N. B.-My brother wishes to be kindly
remembered to al, especially to you.
LARGEST IN THE WORLD
Mr.. John Devices, the dentist, recent
ly received letter from his brOther-in-
law, a leading jeweler In Pittsburg, in
which the latter says, "the cOnsOlida-
tiOn of the Dueber and Hampden com
panies will make the largest establish
ment of the kind In the world; Canton
Is to be congratulated"
THE WHOLE STORY.
The bonus of 100000 for the location
Of the Dueber Watch Case company of
Newport, KY, and the Hampden Watch
Works company of Springfield, Mass, In
consolidated shops at Canton, was
raised on Monday and the tidings wired
to Mr.. Dueber. The latter gentleman
has already began work on th4 plans
for the Canton buildings and Is expected
in few days to arrange for the con-
structiOn of the works. The two msin
shops will be four stories high, 400x45
feet, with an eighty foot square tower
structures. Of the minor bui ldings
two will be 120x35 feet, three stories
high. Employment will be 9iven at
the start to between 1000 and 1900
hands. In two years after the works
are thoroughly established there the
company eXpeCts to have work for 1000
hands. Ground will probably be broken
the 1st Of August, and two years will be
consumed before the establishment Is
entirely completed and in full opera
tiOn. In addition to the donation of
100000 the city presents the Dueber
company twenty acres of land on Due
ber Heights, in the western part of the
city, worth fully $4,000, so that Can
toms total contribution amounts to
$4,000. The money was raised In two
weeks Alliance Standard.
NOTHING LIKE ORGANIZATION.
Nothing can be done without organ
izatiOn. In their endeavOrs to promote
the interests of the city, the merchants
of MssslllOn will never meet with great
success until they have strong and
permanent Board of Trade. We have
only to look eight miles to see what a
body of that kind can do. The Mansfield
papers express the conviction that had
their city, at the proper time, had a well
organized Board Of Trade the Dueber
works would have come there. Mans
field now has Board of Trade. No one
wishes to assume the responsibility of
speaking for the whole city, and this
proper timidity occasions the loss of
much valuable information, and many
practical suggestions. The busi0ess
men, not alone the merchants, but every
one interested in the development of
our inexhaustibIe resources should by
all means organize at Once,-Ma sIllon

SLIGHTLY MIXED.
Canton has raised the necessary $l00
900 for the Dueber Watch Case Works,
and there Is no longer any doubt of the
establishment being moved there as
soon as the necessary buildings can be
erected. The ground, consisting of
twenty acres lying west of the city In a
magnificent location, was generously
donated by Mr.. Joseph Meyer, the jew
eler.-[ Alliance Leader.
You are slightly mixed on this sub.
ject. Joseph Meyer Offered 30 acres of
land at Meyers Lake for the Soldiers
Home, which Canton Is to get, but the
Meyers heirs donated the 20 acres west
of town for the Dueber Works.
SHE CAN'T HELP IT.
Canton is making an effort to secure
the new Soldiers and Sailors Home.
The necessary land and Doodle will b.
donated. Is our enterprieiDg sister,
Youngstown, going to stand back and
allow Canton to gobbIe up everything?
