ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
Prospect for an Important Mandatory

| a Prospect Tor an Important M anuIactory
Mr.. NJ. p. Shambs, of Mansfield. Ohio,
spent several days in the city during the
past week, looking up the feasibility OF
establishing cracker mandatory. Mr..
$ comes highly recommended as IL bust
ness man, and seems TO he gentleman
well endowed with business qnalifica-
tons.
As we are advised, his plan is to or
ganize stock company with capital
stock of 3O,OOO-shares 500 each.
The first assessment to be
paid in cash is 335 cents, bal
ance to be paid when required. Mr.. S.
will, if the company succeeds in raising
the required amount, erect two-story
brick building 44xlO0 feet. exclusive of
basement, and put in all necessary ma
chinery for the proper prosecution of the
business. In fact, Mr.. S. has the ma
chinery already purchased, his intention
at the time of purchase being to estab-
lish mandatory in California, but
through local influences here was in
duced TO look our city over, and 80 favor
ably impressed is he with the outlook,
that he has determined to locate here if
the proper encouragement is extended
by our citizens. He has subscribed ten
thousand of the thirty, and Mr.. A. B..
McCurdy is down for fifteen hundred,
while several of our enterprising citizens
have the project under advisement, and
there seems no good reason why the en-
terprise may not be carried through sue
cessfully.
That such mandatory will pay in
Mankato there is no question. Our city
is particularly well located for such an
enterprise. Nothing of the kind will
compete with it nearer than 100 miles,
and our city, coming into such promi-
nence as jobbing center. will be like
wise benefited by an establishment of
this nature.
To the stockholders it will prove re-
muneratiye investment, and it is to be
hoped that we may succeed in securing
its location here.

ID per cent. less than any other jewelry
house can do for same goods. Why ?
Because he is connected with six other
jewellers, and they all buy direct from
factories and at same figures as the
wholesale houses pay for same goods.
The past number of years of our dealings
with our many customers have proved
this to be fact. Our receipts thus far
for December are more than they have
been any other December. Now why is
it? Simply because We warrant our
goods as represented. and if they prove
otherwise you can return them and get
other goods. And another reason is,
YOU can buy of us for fully 15 per cent.
less than you can buy of any other jew
eler i'm Mankato. We have fine line of
