entire business community, as well as
large patronage from our citizens in
general. The shoe factory has now
grown to an industry in our city. the
benefit of which is very substantially
felt by our traders and business people.
Between 200 and 300 people are now en-

necessary in the near future to keep 400
hands steadily at work. at satisfactory
wages, which. of course. means a tell
