Mark Hanna, for political effect: The
reason for the sudden determination oil
the management TO start the mill at this
time is the fact that T. B. Kay during
his recent trip to California, was much
encouraged by the number OF orders he
received from merchants AID clothing
manufacturers. The business men OF
that and other states realize that repub-
iican success at the polls in Novem Der
has become an assured fact, and are anx-
ious to push their business enterprises /;
therefore they readily gave orders for
goods TO the Salem factory. Mr.. Kay
reports that this. only. is responsible for
the activity displayed by the company in
starting the mills now.
