Mr.. VIM. H. Hyer stated to the meeting
that be had received telegram from Mr..
Geo. Luppert of Wllliamsport, Pa, the
owner of the machinery, saying he could
not get here Wednesday night, but would be
here Thursday night. It was suggested
as the shareholders had assembled, that an
interchange of views could be had.
Mr.. Hyer in reply to questions, stated
what he had learned from Mr.. Luppert re-.
garding the new enterprise. Mr.. Luppert
had been successfully manufacturing fur
niture at Willlamsport. Pa, for twenty
three years. He had gotten large South
ern trade and to meet it had opened fac
tory nearer the raw material, in Ronceverte,
W. Va. The latter being single line of
was less favorable than one where there
was competition, and he determined to
remove. Two points had applied to him
Stanton, Va, and Portsmouth, Ohio,
tie latter offering him $40 900 if he would
build his factory there and guarantee to
run it for five years. To locate there,
| however, would put him right IN the
midst Of the Western competition and nc
nearer to the Southern trade. His offer ia
Staunuon was as follows: His plant was
worth So 900, but he would put it in at
$4,000. For that $4,000, he would take
$4,000 in money (when the new company
got that amount) and 81. 600 in stock. The
company was to buy lot worth 81, 900
and erect building or buildings worth
So 600. To commence, would take about
$l3 900, and that would leave of the 500 ,0O(
capital. the sum of $1,000 for working
