A FINE OPENING
FOR A NEW INDUSTRY HERE IN WHEEL
ING.
Business Men Talk Of the Feasibility Of Starting
a Big Cracker Baksry-Why 1t
Would Pay

Several months ago the REGISTER casual
" remarked that there seemed 10 be no
good reason why a cracker bakery would
not be a good thing, in this city, and the
idea thus suggested struck several business
men in very favorable way. Since then
the gentlemen whose interest was aroused
have been bordering deeply over the sub
ject. with the result that they are more
than ever convinced the project would be
very remunerative one, and that once got
on foot it would have a most successful
career.
Yesterday d REGISTER reporter, while
strolling around in the wholesale district,
found quite a sentiment in favor OF the
early establishment Of such an industry.
Mr.. Joseph Speidel, who is a firm believer
in the success Of such plant, said, when
spoken 10 on the subject:
There is the best possible opening here
for a large cracker bakery / believe IL
would nav from the start. and would be
profitable concern. Not less than car
load of crackers dav come into Wheeling
probably more, and in the course OF a
wear many thousands of dollars go from
Wheeling to Pittsburg GAINESVILLE, Toledo,
and other points for crackers which we
could lust as we'll make at home. | should
say our local trade would use from SIX up
10 eight or ten cars Week-and that
alone would be a mighty nice thing for
factory. The thing has been tried
elsewhere with the greatest success,
and two or three Ohio firms with
a population Of much less than w wheeling,
have a big reputation for their goods and
st..ftrft.er 3 .nh Hara
have II. 900 people within a radius Of five
miles. and vet we are sending out lots Of
money which we ought TO keep ut home.
A cracker bakery employing twenty-five
or thirty men would be a substantial little
addition to Wheeling, and would help the
growth Of the town by just that much, be
sides paving big profit on the capital in
vested There are houses IN Wheeling
whose cracker bills amount 10 500 or $500
a month. and the aggregate Of the trade
from the city and vicinity is large. | am
ready to help along such an enterprise for
think il would be good thing
Charles II. Copp said:
"There is not the slightest doubt but that
a cracker factory would pay well here in
Wheeling ! think there is an excellent
opening, aud there would be good demand
from the If the product was up 10 that
of outside towns There seems TO be
very general Acknowledgement of the
truth of this, and | look for a definite
movement
Another business man who overheard the
above conversation, said.
Not only would a cracker factory be a
good thing, but spice mill would also pay
big in Wheeling. ! have in my mind a GER
tain spice MILL started few years ago in
an Ohio city, with capital stock OF $4,000.
1t is now rated at 500 900 TO $4,000 by the
commercial agencies, and is in flourish
ing condition. II is an illustration of what
might be done here, and if the thing was
looked into a little, / am satisfied some
thing would be done
