Indicative of the importance of the Williams
plant, just added to Ravenna's industries, and |
the high standing and esteem accorded to Mr.. |
Williams at the home of his lifelong social |
mingling and business activities, we find the |
following tribute in the Chag1in Falls Exponent |
of the 18th:
at is now settled that the Williams factory
goes to Ravenna. Let it be said, in justice to
Lhagrin Falls, that this is not the fault of our
people, but the result of some controlling rea-
sons and circumstances unnecessary to recapit-
ulate. We regret the loss of this important In
dustry and the removal OF Mr.. Williams, who
has the respect of the entire community pub
lie spirited and enterprisng citizen, whose loss
is nothing short OF public calamity.
