Mineola wants factories, and she don't
care who knows it. We are favorably 10
Gated for them, willing to put up for them
and never intend to let up until we get
them, do YOU hear it. We know what we
have and are determined that other people
shall know it too. We don't want any man
or corporation to build factory here that
we are afraid to back with our money and
patronage, either in donations or
that contemplates establishing lplants in
Texas to remember that we are on record,
soliciting you TO come and see us before
You establish a plant of any kind in Texas
We want, first, compress. Our local re-
ceipts of cotton viii amount to e. 900 bales.
from other points. Al 80 centss bale will
give a return of $4,000 per IseSth for five
months in the year. Is @fs not good

At these pricesa oAey enough can be made

with sl covering over for roofing, with
all the ire soft water that will ever be
needed with three grand trunk railways to
carry the product, and a certainty OF one
more in the near future. With these facts
before US what more can any man wishing
TO invest in this line demand? Again, we
want a furniture factory OF exten
sive proportions. We have the
greatest variety of timber here
and hard woodsin this part of the
state. being tributary to the Sabine bot
toms in all directions. We are on the line
of the last timber for 1000 miles West, and
to Oregon Northwest. We already have
chair factory here that could not fill their
orders were they to double their capacity
and run day and night. We want COM
TO build a tram or narrow gauge rail-
road for logging road into the pineries
northeast of US for the purpose of supplying
saw mills erected here, and door, sash and
blind factories. We want barrel factory
TO supply our farmers who are engaged in
the syrup and sugar industry. These are
few things we want, and must have. Our
city has appropriated $500 TO prospect for
artesian water, and contract let for the
work to be done. Should we 50 through
salt beds in boring for artesian water,
as we feel confident we will,

then want a;salt plant here commensurate
with the surroundings and advantages here
presented We are not believing simply TO
make noise. but TO be heard by ali legiti
mate manufacturing enterprises. We
don't care to furnish the capital to start
people in business. but to attract
the attention of manufacturers already in
business to the advantages here presented,
assuring them that we will meet them in
liberal spirit, and do all that any legitimate
manufacturing enterprise could expect, if
yoa viii come and cast your lot with US.
