HOWARD I. WALLACE
In A BIG INDUSTRY
Capitalists Being Induced to Locate
in This City and May Decide
to do so.


An effort is being made to secure a
large and entirely new industry fol
Wilmington. The nature of the new
concern remains in the background but
it is not denied that such movement is
on foot.
Howard I. Wallace, who is one of the
Wilmingtonians interested in having the
big plant located in this city, when seen
last evening said that there was a good
prospect for the establishment OF big
industry in Wilmington but Mr.. Wal
lace said that it was too soon for him to
talk on the matter as publicity at this
time might prove disadvantage.
1t will be about two weeks before |
can give you any definite information on
the subject" said Mr. Wallace, "but |
am making an effort to get a large plant
in Wilmington, and should it come will
be interested in it myself"
William Lawton, president OF the
Board OF Trade, last night verified the
report. Recently one Of the capitalists
called upon him and laid the matter
fully before him.
The company that will operate the
plant will have capital Of $4,000, 600
and Wilmington capitalists will have
Sl0O,O00 of the stock. 1t is proposed to

manufacture an article that is not now
manufactured in America. Larger estab-
lishments in other countries are at work
manufacturing the same article and
capitalists from abroad are at the head
OF the moYement to locate the plant in
Wilmington.
The capitalists want at least twenty
live business men of Wilmington to sub
scribe for 500 900 Of the stock.
The capitalists who are behind the
movement will hold a meeting next
week and probably select Wilmington
as the site OF the new enterprise. Mr..
Wallace attended a meeting of capital
