IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE eoNNoT
co. HELD LAST NIGHT.

| Services Of Augustus Bon not Recognized
"A Company which Has Been Very
Successful Since Coming TO Canton.
Some time last fall we had the pleasure
| OF announcing to the citizens OF Canton
| that another new industry had been added
to the large number of manufacturing
| establishments in Canton, when the Bon
| not Bros. moved to Canton and organized
the Bonnot Co. for the manufactu of
clay working machinery. There was
| such demand for their line OF mac hinery
| that the old firm Of Bonnot Bros. had to
increase their capital and secure larger
plant in orderto accommodate their Gus.
toners. The business Of the new COM
pany has been steadily growing in volume
since coming to Canton, and II now en-
ploys about twice as many men as when
II commenced operations in this city.
The company makes the largest. heaviest
and best line of clay working machinery
manufactured in this countgy,.
Mr. Augustus Bonnot, who has invented
and designed the most of their excellent
line OF clay working machinery, was last
night promoted by the Board Of Directors
and elected vice president and mechanical
engineer. This promotion places Mr..
Bonnot in a very responsible position,
and at the head Of one of the most impor.
tant departments of the business; as he
will have charge of the inventinc, design.
ing, drafting and outside construction
work OF the company. We congratulate
Mr.. Bonnot upon his advancement, and
have no doubt that the company will find
him as valuable in his new department as
he was in subordinate position. Mr..
Bonnet has just returned from Galesburg,
Illinois, which is one of the large clay
working centers of the country, and
where the company has just COM
pleted a job which was so perfect
in Its construction, that when
the plant was started, IL worked
to the entire satisfaction of the parties for
whom it was CONSTRUCTED d, and as smoothly
as though it had been in successful opera
ton for a month.
The goods of this company give uni
versal satisfaction, and IL has been doing
a large amount of business for Canton
establishments. 1t rebuilt the works of
the Champion Stoneware Co. in this city,
which were destroyed by fire last fall. 1t
has also a large amount of work for the
Royal Brick Co., and is at present engaged
in equipping the works of the new Impe-
rial Shale Brick Co., of this city, which,
when completed, will be the largest single
contract ever let in the United States of
machinery for the making of paving brick.
Mr.. Willard Child, who has for some time
past been connected with the Wrought
Iron Bridge Co., of this city, will on and
after the 1st day of May next, assume the
duties Of Superintendent of the works of
| the Bonnot Co.
We hope that the Bonnet Co. will grow
in size in the future as rapidly as IL has in
| the past. Canton is fast becoming one of
the most important centers for the max
ing of paving brick in this country, and
we trust that our clay working Industries
are only in their infancy. tits matter of
great convenience to the various brick
companies in the neighborhood of Canton
to have a factory located in the city. at
which they can not only get all kinds of
repairs, but also all classes of clay work.
ing machinery. The line of goods made
| by the Bonnot Co. is unsurpassed in ex-
cellence and is the cheapest machinery of
| its kind made, because ii is tie best.
