Do you want employment in fac.
tory where the work is light, clean,
nealthy and remunerative? If So You
are one of the many in this town whose
interests have been shamefully ne.
elected. The Board of Trade and
your town paper have devised means
whereby you are TO be furnished with
employment, and that, too, in a man
uer that will give to you not only your
wages, but every cent of profit that
the factory makes. AS you are to be
30 deeply interested in this establish
ment it will be necessary to take you
INTO our confidence in the matter and
explain many little details that would
not otherwise interest or concern YOU.
In the first place the Board pur-
poses establishing before Novembera
factory that will give employment to
titty girls. The work is not hard ma
chinery will do all the heavy work,
and the only thing required of you
VIII be dettness in guiding the ma
terial and machines. AS you become
more and more expert in this respect
your wages will increase propoi ton
ately, and there is no sound reason
why you cannot earn a good and iude-
pendent conn retency very shortly after
the factory shall have been started.
Now, to do this, it will require between
five and six thousand dollars, and at
the last meeting of the Board some
gentlemen very kindly promised to
contribute 81 ,000 so that we have now
ouly $4,000 10 raise, our factory to sup
ply, and our young women to be set to
work.
1t is unnecessary to ask if you wish
to earn your own living; if you wish
to help yonr parents in their hard
struggle. You would not be an Amer
| lean young woman if you did not, and
| 10 help you do so the Board of Trade
has devised method which, when
put into practice, will afford you the
much needed opportunity. Now, since
we have taken you into our confidence
we expect you to help us, and the way
we want you to help us ia to talk to
your parents about it, talk to your
neighbOrs about it, talk TO your COM
panions about it, ask every gentleman
| friend what interest he is taking in it,
and then when you shall have brought
the matter most thoroughly before
your friends we want you to come to
the public meeting, listen to what the
gentlemen have to say, and then make
up your minds that you are gOiug to
| work in the factory and become a part
owner. For the present you can tell
your friends that you want to work,
that you want factory started here,
and that you want the gentlemen who
talk so much about FTackville's future
to indulge in little more practical
demonstration of their faith. You
can very readily learn for yourself the
difference between promises and acts.
The act you want, we want, the town
wants is for each individual to come
forward and say l will take so much
stock in factory that will employ so
of our young women. twill then be
only a question of a few weeks when
your town paper shall have the pleas
ure Of submitting q notice to the pub
lie that fifty young women are wanted
to work in the factory. You very prob
ably play wonder what this Board of
Trade is organized for and why it
hOuld take such great interest in
? securing employment for you on such
liberal terms. Well, we may perhaps
aS well take you into our confidence in
this matter, too, and tell You that the
Board of Trade is organized for the
purpose of inducing factories to locate
here and to promote the general wei.
fare of the town by devising means for
securing employment for our people.
The first and most important step is to
secure remunerative employment for
} our young women, and to that end the
Board pledges itself to start this fac
tory. Now let us see what you can do
toward helping. We know you but
half try, success is assured.
