A Bright Prospect For Our Industries.

A visit now and then to our textile
industries most always reveals some
interesting thoughts as to the progress
sive spirit and moving tendencies of
the times as with increasing activity,
they contribute in their small way to
the demands OF trade. In fact, few of
our citizens realize the advantages that
such industries afford our working
classes, and it is only when such in
dustries are visited and an inquiry
made into its peculiar system OF work
ing that any correct idea can be enter
tanned.
1t is noticeable fact, however, that
our Board of Trade is losing the proper
interest in such affairs The great
movement which was made some time
ago to encourage home Industries
seems to have lost its impetus Indus
tries should be secured which would
draw foreign labor to our town and
make it a commercial centre, and then
those that we have should receive
better encouragement at the hands of
our citizens. Offer inducements both
for land and for building. We have
prOprietOrs of industries in our town
| to-day who might be induced to build
| if land owners would lend encourage
ment. Few realize that such industries
are worth hundred of dollars a week to
| this community, not taking into con
siderGtion the amount of money put
into circulation,
he Hose Factory, one of our steady
industries, is working under full-time
with prospects of abundant work in the
future and probable increase in the
operators. Messrs. Bitter & Leusher
have felt very keenly the effect of the
hard times and it is only by their at
tentiye business management that they
have made their enterprise Withstand
the trial. They have had to reduce
their force from some thirty or forty
to about twenty-One, but now they
think the prospects are brighter for a
steady and busy season. Already
orders have been coming in for large
quantities and in short while the
firm expect to make an increase IN the
number of knitters
The Shirt Factory is one of our
busiest in town, and particularly reflects
credit upon the excellent business
qualities of J. r. FARRELL, the new pro-
prietor, In fact, he has considerable
trouble in getting enough operators.
A view at his works reveals a most in
teresting sight. Everything moves on
a sound business principle, and the GO
or more machines. moving in perfect
unison, each under control of one of
our town girls is a sight rarely wit
messed in Smyrna. Could Mr.. FARRELL
get the help he might easily increase
the number to IS or 100 operators.
This speaks well of the industry and
should be a fattering inducement for
out-of-town families having number
of girls to settle in our midst. There
are residences that would be available
for such families. All work is done
under contract and the proprietor has
all he can attend to, many times work
ing at night to meet the demands of his
trade,
