Wheeling has now another chance
to secure the location here of large
and important industry, if ways and
means can be devised to afford some
aid in the way of the donation of a
site for factory or the giving of a
bonus of some sort or other.
Mr.. Morris Brown, representing the
Brown Improved Cigar Box Company,
capitalized at 100000, with factories
to be erected in New York and Chi
cago, is in the city, seeking location
for third factory to supply the south
ern trade. He was seen yesterday by
a reporter for the Register, and said:
Our Company has patented an ar
ticle which commends itself not only
to the manufacturers of exclusive and
especial barnds of cigars, but to the
government as well. By its use the re-
filing of box of any special brand
with cigars of an inferior brand is i'm
possible, thus affording a protection
and guarantee not only to the smoker
but to the manufacturer, while we esti-
mate that by its use the government
would be saved ten million dollars an
nually, out of which it is at present
defrauded by INSCRIPTIONS retailers.
There would also be a decided benefit
to manufacturers of cigar boxes, as a
box once used could never be used
again. We are incorporated under the
laws of West Virginia, have a capital
of five hundred thousand dollars, and
will manufacture our boxes in New
York for the Eastern trade, in Chicago
for the Western trade, and seek a
proper location for the Southern trade.
Wheeling appears to be a proper point,
and If we can secure some inducement
we shall locate here, and will guaran-
tee to employ not less than three hun
dred hands, and from that UP to five
hundred. Our invention has been ap-
proved by all branches of the business,
as a box can not be used again. To
attempt to do so is to destroy it. I
shall be absent from the city for a few
days, but shall return, and shall bring
the matter to the attention of the Off
Gals of the Chamber of Commerce and
also the City Council"
w. P. Robinson is the legal repre-
sentative of the company in this city.

A GLANCE AT THE MARKETS.

Ohio Valley Manufacturer.
The weakness of the iron and steel
market is not due to over-production,
but to the fact that for several weeks
buyers have been looking and working
for just such time. Accordingly,
they now do not seem to realize that
the soft spots will disappear more sud-
denly than they appeared. The supply
of iron is so nearly sold for the six Or
eight months to come that any buyer
who overlooks this occasion will wait
long time. and then probably pay
more than he will now.
