Homo for Burial

There seems to be no doubt now that
ths overall manufacturing concern will
come to Manchester. as It has sought
inducement from the city to do. and gene
raj satisfaction Is apparent that such Is
the case.
The name Of the concern has never
been given to the public at their request,
obviously on account Of the embarrass-
ment It would cause them should the
project fail. 1t is understood, however
on reliable authority that Dun rates them
at $4,000 to $1,000. Mr.. A. l. Adamson'
who has been their agent says they are
established, and have been successful for
many years in this business, and he has
not, nor has the city, any reasonable
grounds whatever to fear them. Their
name and location at present will pro-
badly be made known tomorrow night
They have an established business, and
are filing orders every day, and will con-
tinue TO I'll them, even while moving.
The manufacturers desire to locate on
Twenty-frst street between Decatur and
stockton, and Mr.. Adsmson, for the city,
has gotten an option on this lot This Wsll
cost about 81, 200. The house to be erected
is to be two stories, and to cost about
5000 The manufacturers pay the city
rent for the building amounting to per
cent interest on the money invested, and
lease the property for five years, with
the option on a new lease or purchase at
the end of the first lease. The city is not
to offer any inducements during the time
of the first lease TO any other concern
of a like character.
They contract to have fifty machines
in the building and steadily at work
within sixty days after the city has done
its part Of erecting 1t. The number OF
operatives who will be given employment
is $50, the most of whom will be women
and girls, with the preference given to
those residing in Manchester, all other
things being equal. 1t can be quite safely
stated that the wages will be from $50
to 81 per week. Making an average price
at $2.75, It means that about s6S7.5O more
than at present will be distributed among
Manchester homes, and hence among
Manchester merchants each week.
