sandy towns, nrc misunderstanding plants.
Without which The other Industries
aud the people who live By them would
vanish.
With us, each kind of business, by
itself, Is independent and seIf-support-
ing, and every accession, in the line of
manufacturing, would be an added i'm
terest, through which every other en-
ployment would be stimulated
We already have the beginnings of
several lines of manufacturing that
might be- built up to large proportions
mt little cost, and the capital and ma
terial are at hand, or could easily be
secured. There Is idle power enough,
or that which Is not now entirely en-
ployed, To make these incipient indus
tries great success.
The Snow Bros. hot air furnace Is a
success. Is quite well advertised and
could be extended, with y moderate
amount of capital, Ia employ several
more men and become u credit To the
town and make fortune forts owners.
The WEIGH chair factory is doing
moderately good business in very
quiet way, buying all the material out
side of our town, which ought to be
made here outof plentiful supply of
the right kind Of timber that is now of
little value.
The Challenge Churn Co., now loca-
ted here, is building churn that is out
of sight among its competitors and its
manufacture could be enlargened to
carload capacity and not supply the
demand for it. A good deal of the
labor is done outside, but none of 1T SO
complicated but that IL might all be
done here, in "A properly arranged
plant.
Here are three very promising lines
of manufacturing already established
and only needing slight encouragement
To grow into large proportions and to
increase the prosperity of all concerned.
Neither of them are experiments; they
have been growing up under the eye of
our citizens, and need no pettifogging
to get them into our consideration.
"There is "a tide in the affairs of men"
etc Business will not always remain
Frustrated. Those who prepare in the
calm for the coming breeze will be the
first to reach the haven of prosperity.
