There are reasons to believe

WE want more factories
i'll Worcester county. Snow
Hill is beautifully located for
profitable manufacturing. We
will soon have a good water
supply and if our people will
lend their energies toward it,
there is no reason why we
cannot secure a number of
good factories for this town
during 1897. We raise large
quantities of potatoes, fruits,
and vegetables of all kinds
which we should have a home
market for and which would
find a ready and profitable
market here if we had en-
ployment for the large army
of unemployed men.
