can procure them; while the men who served
i'm the navy should be in a body and il possi-
bic in full uniform. He thinks that as Alassa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania were the first TO
send troops 10 the Governments aid, they
should have the right OF line. As it is 20 years
since the Army Of the Potomac and SheTman's
army we're reviewed by the then President Of
the United States, and as the present President
was a soldier of the late war, it would be more
appropriate than the usual parade OF the Grand
Army. He thinks that the march should be on
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue from
the Capitol TO the War Department, and then
countermarch on the north side, so the boys
can see once more what they look like.

MANUFACTURES OF HARDWARE.
Another Important Industry to be Added to
Richmond.

In another column the Buffalo Lock Manu-
featuring Company adyertises the removal Of
their plant to be established in this city,
which will add another feature to the wonder
full progress Richmond IS making as manu-
featuring centre.
This establishment will lie under the super
vision of Mr. d. II. Fitzgerald, and will be a
mammouth concern. and will prove an impor-
tant industry in orr city.
The manufacture of hardware started in the
United States about fifty years ago with
about twelve hands. To-day there are about
ten concerns manufacturing building hard
ware IN the United States. of which the But
falo Manufacturing Company is one. About
$1,000 hands are employed IN the aggregate by
all of these concerns
Owing to the enormous increase in build
ING in this country II IS impossible for these
concerns to supply the demands, and they are
often ak months behind in their orders In
order to remedy this and TO manufacture
goods on large scale and cheaper, Mr.. d: H..
Fitzgerald has investigated all the leading
Southern States as well as the West. and
afte- "A careful survey has decided that Rich
mond offers superior advantages for manu-
featuring purposes 9 any point that no has
seen IN his extensive travels.
He finds that Richmond, being port Of on
try and having magnificent railroad facilities,
together With saluDrlOus climate. an old city
of large Dimensions. and class Of people
who for hospitality are we'll known all over
the world. convinced bin that Il was decided
lythe best place for him to locate his plant,
which will give employment the first year to
300 10 200 hands They aye already engaged
IN the erection of the works. which will be
very large. being $50 feet long by 30 feet wide,
for the manufacturing department: machine
shops. $50 by co feet; foundry. 200 by 70 feet;
engine house. co by 30 feet; Japan house, 60
by IS feet closets in yard for hands. 100 by 40
feet. as well rs barns and other Outhouses.
The plant vii! cover about ten acres the first
year. About twenty-five acres has been re-
served for the entire plant, which they expect
to cover i'm . few years.
They find that by locating in Richmond
they can save in the item of pig iron alone
from 500 10 $50 per day exclusive OF the
great saving in labor. lumber and other items.
Besides mechanics can live cheaper here than
they can IN the North and while skilled labor
can earn a. much here a. IN any part IN the
North as most all OF their labor is skilled
they can save a great deal more here. and for
various reasons will be more contented with

do the Buffalo Manufacturing Company sup
ply the United States but have an established
trade in all parts of the world. and Is increas-
ing so rapidly that the removal has become a
necessity.
