Middletown, Del, was left by the
shifting of the peach belt with 1900
inhabitants and no one considerable
business interest, so a few men Of the
place got together $780, built the
plant Of a shirt factory and turned it
over rent free to Il large concern in
neighboring city. The factory now.
at the end Of two years, is turning
out 600 dozen shirts a week, enough
to clothe every man in town a. dozen
times over, and employing ut wages
varying from $3.50 to $40 per week
eighty young women, or more than 5
per cent of the population. The con-
Germ to which the plant was turned
over takes the entire product and pays
out in wages $4,000 annually. Nearly
all the employees are persons who here
tofore have earned nothing. The fac
tory is about to be extended, and the
concern operating it will pay for the
extension rent equal to the interest on
the original investment. The shirt fac
tory is the pet Of the place, and when
any one Of the prosperous citizens who
started the concern meets one of the
factory girls on the street he takes off
his hat with the same elaborate cour-
tesy he would show to his ne;yhbor's
Rife.
