ASSOCIATION OF MARTINsBURa Al
though this association is not two
years old, and was started under the
greatest difficulties, the Chair Fac
tory had failed, the Sp-ke Works
were shut down caused by the death

standing all this a few business
men banded together with determi-

should win, and their first venture
was Hosiery Mill, that to-day is
working over one hundred and twen-
ty five hands, and making 400 dozen
hose per day. The Improvement
Company is taking in SLIPS per
month, and is run on a perpetual
basis. You can take shares at any
time by simply paying rs cents on
each share you desire to carry, so
there is no paying of back dues.
This enables the poor, as well as
those who are better off, to take
stock, and save something for rainy

number of months you get your

ment and will pay you good rate
