the Furniture Factory at this place,
were in town several days last week
and after careful examination of
the property, expressed themselves
abundantly satisfied with their pur-
chase and paid over the money to
Trustee Smith, in all, $4,000. In
an interview with these gentleman
we found them very agreeable and
willing to give information in re-
gard to the future of this factory.
They will make nothing but fold
ing beds, and will employ from $50
to 300 skilled workmen, besides the
requisite number of laborers to car
ry on a business of this magnitude.
They informed us that they would
put the machinery to work as soon
as they could find competent man
to act as General Superintendent
and Manager, and proper man to
take charge of the machine rooms
and lay out the work for the men.
They hope to be able to start up this
work not later than the middle of
January next. If everything goes
along smoothly and there is no more
friction, our town will soon be reap
ing the benefits of factory that
will go far toward stimulating bust
ness. With this factory under full
Roadway, and the Sterling Bedstead
Factory in full capacity, other in
dustries will follow, and seon we
will have one of the busiest towns
on the Ohio river.
