ONE WAY.

There hardly town of any consid-
erahle sic ip Vermont which does not
LOOK will favor upon the introduction of
manufacturing establishments. The mer-
chants wnt them for the sake of the ad-
ditional tade they will bring; the farm
ers of tn adjacent region are seeking a
market mar home for their produce, and
every prp-rty-holder in the town and its
vicinity willing that the value of his
possessiOs shall increase. No one doubts
for morent the desirability of manu-
factures, )ut how to get them is not al
ways an asy question to answer.
In thes directions the East has much
to learn the West. Out there the build
iny-up oitowns has been reduced almost
to =, sciere and, while in instances sue
cess has lot been attained, the method
employed has not been responsible for
the failur. Aurora, ILL.,, has lately had
al cXper'nce that is worth remember
ing. lw large concerns seeking loca-
tions wen found. They asked for sites
for their works and for certain sums of
money. The citizens of Aurora specially
interestetproceeded in this wise, as the
story is It'd in the Troy Times:
These len, when they found the firms
were suhd and had selected point
where thy were willing to found their
plants, All just outside the city limits,
went to te parties owning the desired
land and btained options. They first sci
off the Ian for the two plants; next they
laid out he balance of the land into
streets an lots. Then they laid the mat.
ter before~le business men and the mer
who had i0ney. The result was all the
lots werGold at once, and the money
poured mike rain. They paid for theiI
land, paidhe firms the promised bonus
gave the eeds to the required lots and
had the sng sum of $40, 900 left in theiI
own poclts. This was only few
months a9. The two plants are in full
operation. The vacant building lots are
fast becoing occupied. Stores have
been built,and this large addition will
soon be as ensely populated as the city
now is.
