F. W. Prentice. of Bay City. Michf-
gan, arrived in Ironton one day last
week looking for a location for a screen
door and sash factory. The gentle
man seemed to be very well pleased
| with the surroundings here and says
the Valley affords an admirable loca-
ton for his business. He contracted
for the purchase of the Wooden Mill
property, and it is understood the deed
is now in the bank to be turned over
as soon as the purchase money arrives,
which Mr.. Prentice says will be in Il
few days. He says that his factory
will, from the start, employ between
twenty and thirty hands, and that the
force will be increased right along.
The factory is at present located in
Michigan, but a move has to be made
on account of the scarcity of timber in
that country. He claims to have been
offered a bonus of So. 900 to locate in
Poplar Bluff, but says that he is afraid
the men from the north would suffer
from malaria in the Butler swamps.
1t is understood that the railroad Off
Gals sent Mr.. p. to this place as being
the most desirable point on the line
for the location of his factory. He
went to De Soto and St. Louis Monday,
it is understood to see about switch
facilities. freight rates, etc. The REG
IsTER hopes the factory may locate
here and prove genuine success. Such
institutions will cause our town to grow
and prosper more than anything else.
