Factories and Wants Men with Pluck
to Come There and Run Them.
M1YEoLA, TEX, June s. 1891.

MIyEoLA, TEX, June S. 1891.
Mineola wants factories, and she don't
care who knows it. We are favorably To-
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
stock. We want every manufacturer
that contemplates establishing lpiants in
Texas to remember that we are on record,
soliciting YOU to come and see US before
you establish plant of any kind in Texas.
We want, first, compress Our local re-
ceipts of cotton will amount TO 10000 bales,
and the compress will control as much more
from other points. At SO cents bale will
give return of $4,000 per month for five
months in the year. Is this not good
enough? We want. a canning com
pany organized here with eX-
perienced men and capable to operate it,
to can peaches alone, which are worth 81. 80
per case of two dozen, three pounds in a
case. The fruit can be bought at 30 cents
per bushel. the sugar at cents per pound.
At these prices money enough can be made
in one season TO pay for the plant and leave
100 per cent additional as surplus. Sltuat0d~
in the finest fruit belt in the South FHof--
chards of 800 acres or more aSinqker''an I'M
limited supply of goOa XNsMear at hand,
inexhaustibie beds 1sAaFnite underneath
with slate coveGi16Rer for roofing, with
all the pure <4Nater that will ever be
needeSs sthree grand trunk railways to
csas& product, and q certainty of one
ean6f@ in the near future. With these facts
before us what more can any man wishing
to invest in this line demand? Again, we
want n furniture factory of exten
sive proportions. We have the
greatest variety of timber here
and hard woodsin this part OF the
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 ill their
orders We're they to double their capacity
and run day and night. We want COM
pany to build 4 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 a barrel factory
to supply our farmers who are engaged III
the syrup and sugar industry. These are d
few things we want, and must have. Our
city has appropriated $500 10 prospect Tor
artesian water, and contract let for the
work to be done. Should we go through
salt beds in boring for arteSian water,
as we feel confident we viii,
from surface Indications, and from the
fact that thirteen miles west of us beds
have been found 100 feet thick, we will
then want a salt plant here commensurate
with the surroundings and advantages here
presented. We are not believing simply to
make Il noise, but to be heard by all 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 Il
liberal spirit, and do all that any legitimate
manufacturing enterprise could expect, if
YOU will come and casLsy6ur lot with us.
