Negotiations have been pending for
several days for the sale of the old

west of town in an unused and decaying

cradle prospect of the deal being made
until the trust insisted on a provision
in the deed. stating specifically that the
building was not to be used for the
manufacture of starch or glucose. FIX
perience, when the works were running,
showed that no better starch could be
made anywhere than was made at the
works here. probably due to theipurity
of the water secured. Chicago parties
were intending to buy and manufacture
star CHI. There Is a bare possibility that
they will come here and build.
