A meeting of the board of trade will
be held at the office of the Jermyn
Press this evening at o'clock, to act
upon communications received from
two firms, who are considering the ad-
visibility of locating in this town for
the manufacture of their goods. One
firm manufactures high grade of
boots and shoes, and would give EN-
poyment to about seventy-hve men
and large number of girls The other
would erect a factory 250x45 feet, three
stories high. AS yet we have but little
industry outside of coal it would be a
great boom to our town. Undoubtedly
it will keep up with the times. Look
forward, and Jermyn will continue to
keep abreast or ahead of other places.
There is plenty of room for factories in
town, and it's it sought after How
much more Improvement there would
be if the board of trade met oftener and
sought with untiring zeal for those con
templatng entering into the manufac-
turing business, and those who expect
to change location of their mills. Jer-
my II NOulu grow, lHt uneUlDlOyeu
would find employment and prosperity
would reign.
