and several other gentlemen who until
recently were connected with the manu-
agement of the Oxford caramel factory,
and who were heavy stockholders in tina t
industrial plant. have since severing their
connection with that Ilrm been casting
about Tor another town in which to locate
large plant for the manufacture of cara
Lnels Last week some CT the gentlemen
were In Coutesville comforting with the
Board OF Trade of that town. to ascertain
whether or not that organization would
make them any oifers that would Undue o
them to bring plant to that town.
Inc gentlemen stated at meeting OF
the Board OF Trade last week that they
desired 20 build plant that to operate
successfully would require a capital stock

ing to furnish S5O.0O0 IL the citizens of the
town would subscribe the balance.
Ihe amount of wages which would be
paid out weekly II plant with that capl-
tal were started would amount to between
Sl200 and S1400.
The citizens of Coatesville have taken
no action In the matter of securing such
plant and the idea has been passed for
New Castle to take a hand In the matter.
Let tie Board of Trade make an effort to
get caramel factory OF such Dimensions
as referred TO and the people of the city
wonid no doubt rather invest capital to
establish plant OF this kind than send
their honest earned dollars to the West,
where maHya one has been planted to give
no return to the Eastern loaner.
