Of valuable machinery in this class OF
work and Is deslrous Of establishing him
sslf where he can utilize this andhave con-
troll Of his own plant. The conditions on
which he win locate are that the people Of
the town erect a building sufficiently large
for the business and supply the power nee
essary to run the machinery. Mr.. Atkin
will then put In the machinery and operate
the mills, giving the citizen who erect the
building Ave year mortgage, bearing five
per cent. interest, on the plant, reserving
the privilege Of purchasing the entire plant
at the end Of five years If he chooses to do
90. The highest estimate given for the
erection of building and engines is $4,000.
Il would probably fall considerably below
