THE IRON FOUNDRY.
Fine Business Opportunity for a
Practical Man.
A Good Modern Plant Here Await
ing Operation.
Opinion on the Project from Men
in Interest.

One of the excursionists here from
Denver Monday was j. S Clark, pro-
prietor of the Ninth street foundry, one
of the substantial industrial institutions
Of that place.
Mr.. Clark was hunted out by a LEADER
reporter and questioned on the feasibility
and ACCESSIBILITY of reopening the Chey-
enne iron foundry. Said he: There is
good money in the business here. Your
plant is complete and up to the times,
though perhaps a little out of repair.
There are facilities for the casting Of all
sorts OF building iron, fences, etc. l will
guarantee that a practical man with a
a capital of $1,000 to 5000 can make
the cheyenne foundry a lourishing es.
adjustment. l started with a plant in
ferior in every way and with powerful op
position, but have made money for FIVE
years. Ny last contract wa a $4,000
Job. There is Il fortune in this foundry
for the right man."
The CHEYENNE foundry is practically
owned by the Cheyenne National bank.
1t can be secured at any time for respon-
sible people. This bank is more than
willing to encourage any enterprise which
will advance the interests of Cheyenne
and will do more than its share in this
matter.
Arp & Hammond, hardware merchants
If the foundry is reopened it will re.
ceive. our hearty support. We handled
last year their CRATE castings and pillow
points.
Wyoming Hardware company This
concern will certainly contribute its share
to the maintenance of the foundry if it is
started up again.
+. Schweickert, hardware dealer-l
will pay eastern prices with freight added
for Cheyenne foundry work if it is good.
With a slight addition to the equipment
perfect pillow points, which are sold in
large quantities here, can be made. A
man who understands the business can
make the stove and boiler CRATES for CheY-
enne and the north, east to North Platte
and west to Evanston.
P. s. Cook, plumber-All Of my cast
ing work will be done at home if the
foundry is operated.
t. +. Dolan. plumber always patron
ize home institutions and the new foundry
management can count on all my trade.
VIM. Hurd. builde--I will be a Gus.
toner of the Cheyenne foundry SO long as
it runs and l am in business.
O'Brien & Lawler You may say that
we are in hearty accord with The LEAD
ER's project and will give the foundry
substantial support.
".
Contractor Keefe, who will build the
viaduct-Operation of the foundry will
be profitable to practical men with
sufficient capital. This town is shipping
a carload Of scrap iron to Denver every
week. and it might as well be cast here.
| have Just sent 81, 900 to the Colorado
Iron company for sewer manhole covers
that could have been made here. If
stock company is formed to start up the
foundry again l will take a few shares to
show my good faith.
v.
O. r. Lane, image of the Lane
Bridge and Iron works, Chicago, which
concern will furnish Mr.. Keefe with
wrought iron for the viaduct-If your
foundry was running it could make a ton
OF heavy castings for the vIaduct and
much smaller stuff besides. | am told it
is a good plant and from what l know of
local conditions, | am satisfied its opera
ton would be profitable. There is money
in all small foundrys with any sort of
tributary country.

j. K. Jeffrey, Secretary Board q
Trade-I was speaking of the foundry
myself, only a few days ago. 1t ought &c
be reopened and this is a good time to dc
it. l am satisfied that practical men with
a little capital can make it pay. AS We
all know, the foundry never has been
capably managed. There is good sane
for the WORK only a few miles from Chey
enne. | will take pleasure in calling the
matter to the attention OF the trustees o.
the Board of Trade at their next meeting,
