MANUFACTURES AND MANUFACTURES


The movement to secure manufactures
for the village has gained new force since
the fire, and unless all signs fail the year
upon which we are about entering will
see Il radical change here in that direc-
ton. But it is easier to will than to do
in this matter, as in some others, and of
manufacturing that is to he had it is less
difficult to find sorts which pay little than
those which return good dividends Oh the
money and labor invested.
Whether because of too much or too
little tariff, or from the operation of des-
tructive competition or other causes, the
fact remains that good deal of the man
ufacturing of the country is done in these
days on very small margin of profit, if,
indeed, there is any profit at all. This is
particularly true of manufactures of
standard products-things that any one
can make who has the skilled labor and
the money-such as the ordinary textile
paper of the ordinary grades and so on
through the long list. Some of these
things, like cotton cloth, newspaper of
the quality used on the big dailes and
other similar articles of everyday use
have come to be so cheap that if the
manufacturer had as net profit the total
cost of them to the consumer he would
not be growing rich at an amazing rate.
Newspaper is sold as low as two and
nine-tenths cents Il pound. Most of us
can remember when paper-rags were
worth two or three times that.
The men and concerns which gather in
the shekels at present do not turn out
this description of products. They for
the most part make something which no
one else can make, or can make and
market so cheaply. Patented devices are
an instance of the first; of the second an
example in point is the Vermont Marble
Co. of Proctor, which from the resources
it possesses IN the way of quarries, water
powers and capital has succeeded in al
most monOpolizng the marble business
of the State and is controlling today 90
per cent of the product of this common
wealth. So we might here, by using our
water-power to work up a raw material
near at hand, establish a business that
would pay well. Or, if that is not prac-
ticable. it ought not to be impossible to
discover novelties that would be worth
putting on the market. Every little
while some bright man gets out new
device that finds ready sale, or new
combination of old products that all who
see it want. Shoes have been known
from time immemorial and so has felt,
but the combination of the two in felt
shoes is of recent origin, and the idea has
built up one prosperous town over in
York State and perhaps Others elsewhere.
The electrical industry is expanding
wonderfully just now and hundreds of
new appliances, some of them astOnish-
ingly simple but not the less efficient,
are daily coming into use. These must
be manufactured somewhere. At first
thought the plan of bracing up the busi-
ness of town through the Introduction
of manufactures looks like hard one
to carry out, but it can be put through.
Care and energy are the chief qualities
needed in the promoters.
