FOUNDRY FOR lola
Mr.. Chapman Buys the Manufacturing
Plant and will Enlarge the
Foundry Department

The sheriff's sale of the plant of the
lola Manufacturing Company to Mr..
Kane, of Omaha, Neb., for SO, 500 on
Saturday as noted in the REGISTER
elsewhere. Mr.. Kane purchased the
plant to save the interest already
buried there of his brother-in-law,
MIR. j. G. Lee, and with view to
operating the plant. just by accident
Mr.. Chapman, of Pittsburg, owner
and operator of the Pittsburg foundry
and machine shops, was in town Sat
urday and learning of the sale, he
offered to take Mr.. Kane's bargain
off his hands. This was agreed to
and 5000 paid down to cinch the deal.
1t is a fortunate move both for Mr..
Chapman and for lola. He has one
of the most extensive foundries in the
state and is constantly enlarging it.
Being acquainted with the canyons
he was in the field early and has Sc
cured practically all the foundry work
for the smelters in this district and
while here Saturday booked several
thousand dollars worth of orders
Mr.. Chapman has the knowledge and
the means to make a foundry here
great success and he proposes to do
it. He will divide his forces and
bring a number of workmen here from
Pittsburg, enlarge the foundry and
operate the lola plant for all it is
worth, caring for the local orders
here. ,-
This means the establishing of an
other enterprise that with cheap fuel
ought to flourish. 1t means the addi.
ton of several more families headed
by skilled workmen at good wages.
1t means only good and the REGISTER
is mighty pleased to talk about it.
WILL WORK ABOUT TWENTY MEN
The real meaning of the purchase of
the lola Manufacturing Company's
plant by Mr.. c.. S. Chapman, of
Pittsburg, will be grasped by lola
people when it is known that the force
to start with will be about twenty men.
Mr.. Chapman has a first class foundry
at Pittsburg and from there he will
send skilled employees here, and also
bring here the models of the castings
for the smelters and cement plant. In
time it is not unreasonable to sup
pose that the works will be enlarged
and the force increased, Mr.. Chapman
intending to increase the foundry de-
partment right away. 1t makes nice
addition to Iola's industries and a
desirable increase of desirable citi-
zens.

The Twentieth Century is
Ushered in With I'm
usual Ceremony
The FIRST DAY DAWNS
Bright, Clear and Beautiful,
An Omen Let us Hope,
of the 100 Years that
Are to Follow

The sound of church bells on the
still, chill air of the night, and the
sharp report from nearly every quarter
of pistol and rife shots, marked for
the people of lola the moment when
the old year passed and the new year
came, when the Nineteenth century
died and the Twentieth was born. In
the churches there was a moment of
silent prayer, then the voice of the
pastor lifted in solemn supplication,
then the Doxology, praising God from
whom all blessings flow. In the homes
there were kisses of greeting and good
wishes. In the social gatherings
friends clasped hands and exchanged
fluctuations. Never before in lola, it
is safe to say, has New Year been so
generally acclaimed.
The REGISTER joins most heartily
in this acclaim. There is not in all
the world man whom it holds as a
personal enemy, and therefore in all
sincerity and with heart free from
every grudge it wishes a Happy New
Century to every honest man and
woman and to every little child every
where
Here's TO them that we love
And here's to those that love US;
Here's to those that love the that we love
And here's to them that love those that
