The Seneca was an experiment.
How we'll that succeeded needs not
to be told to the residents The
new factory will be success
from the start as the market is ready
for its product. The citizens who
subscribe will be allowed to take q
similar amount of stock in the con
Germ If they so desire and it will be
profitable investment The b. &
|. company find it impossible to
raise the whole amount necessary to
get it but they will do the very best
they can.
Mr.. w III. Banni>ter having come
into the meeting he was called on to
make few remarks about the pro
pressed plant and his talk was very
well received He began by saying
that it was proposed to build anoth-
er plant as good as the Seneca but
that it couldn't start as big as that
plant. At one time Warrington had
offered $4,000 and free site but
the negotiations had fallen through
for some reason.
The plant will be a good thing for
the Seneca ana will increase the out
put of that factory materially. At
the same time it will also be good
thing for the town as it will add a
number of people to your popula-
ton. The plant will cost $4,000
and it will not be many years before
it will be as large as the Seueca. All
the stock that is wanted can be
raised at any time and we don have
to ask that the town to give cent.
1t is merely as a favor that they are
permitted to hold the stock. Now
for our part of the bargain, we will
clio as well as the Seneca did theirs
and You know how we'll that was.
We want the workmen to have the
greater part of the stock and will
bring in new men to operate the
plant. The plants will not be an
tagonistic but will work in harmony.
There is plenty of room for the pro
duet OF the new plant in the terri
tory Of the Seneca and will help the
latter plant market its goods /
would like to get as good a plant for
my town as this one is. The advan-
tage OF having it there and under the
same management is in the economy
of operation. We can have the same
selling agents and market the pro
duct cheaply. It's establishment
will lead to the location of barrel
or box factory here and may bring
a cutting shop or machine shop.
This much has been decided upon.
We will locate somewhere within the
next six months. We like this town
and for many reasons will give it
the preference over all others You
have treated us very well and we
want to do all we can for you in re-
turn.
Mr.. Sturgiss then stated that the
sand from up Decker's creek had
been tested at the factory here and
at the Syracuse factory. At the
latter plant glass man said
that in twenty years experience he
had never seen finer sand. This
sand will be used in the factories as
soon as the road up Decker's creek
is opened.
At this point the meeting was for
mally organized by calling Col. S A.
/ Poster to the chair. Justin NJ Kun
kle was appointed secretary.
Mr.. Moorhead spoke of the former
plant which came here. That was an
experiment. This one is certainty.
Every body knows what the Seneca
has been to the town.
A suggestion was made that the
chair name three gentlemen to see
the business men Of the town
and find out what they would give
toward getting the new plant. At
ter time of deliberation at the wish
of the meeting Col. Poster, w. w.
Hayes and J. w. Wiles were named
as the committee. They were in
structed to see the business men of
the town and report their success at
an adjourned meeting to be held in
Municipal Hall Thursday evening.
Mr.. Bannister was then asked
when work on the new factory would
