flock here until we have something for |

them to do. The success of every bust
ness man in this city from the keeper
Of the smallest store to the proprietor OF
the largest wholesale establishment
Is dependent upon securing industries
which will give employment to the
masses. The main energies of our board
of trade should be directed to this end
and in all the acts of the organization
this great object should at all times be
kept most prominently in view.
The executive committee believes that
the most successful manner in which to
secure the location of manufacturing
plants at this point, is not by advertising
in a wholesale and promiscuous way, and
scattering pamphlets, folders and general
boom literature regarding Great Falls
broadcast over the land, but by aiming
directly at the industries We most desire

in firing ut them. We want no CONNER
cial failures in Great Falls, and extreme
caution should be taken to avoid indu-
cling any establishment to locate here I'm
til we are thoroughly convinced that it
could be protitably operated. The inter
ests Of the manufacturer should be care
fully guarded by this board. Among the
industries which could be located here
advantagcOusly at the present time. the
committee would name an iron blast
furnace, a wool-scouring establishment,
Il paper mill, Il potato starch factory. a
beet sugar factory, mineral paint works,
a -four mill and elevator and "a glove fac
tory. The method We would advise to
be pursued toward securing these indus
tries can be best illustrated by taking the
FIEE-BRICK ESTABLISHMENT
as al example. Pittsbueg, Pa, and East
Liverpool, Ohio. are the centers of this
industry. Advertisements setting forth,
IN brief and concise terms, the adyant-
ages which Great Falls possesses AS a
location for friedrich works should be
in the Pittsburg and East Liver
pool papers. Even if none of the old
concerns would consider a
removal to Great Falls, there MAJ be
men connected with them-now in sub
ordinate capacities-who either have
money of their own or can secure the
necessary capital, who would be glad to
avail themselves of the advantages which
location offers to those who desire to
fire brick.

The executive committee recommends
