1t is Thought the Work of Moving and
Enlarging the Western Stove Lin
ing Plant Win be Completed
by Then

The Western Stove Lining Works,
located at Love and Olive streets, is
to be enlarged, both in plant, capital

menced on extra brick for new kilns
and Mr.. Elliott is looking up the
latest and best improved machinery,
preparatory to rushing the work Of
construction and moving as soon as

ground secured.
The company will be formed with
the following division of stock:
Elliott s. Son, $4,000; four citizens
of Chicago $40, 900; citizens of Mexico
5000, thereby forming a $50, 900 stock
company, fully paid up.
AS soon as these preliminary ar
are completed the work
of transferring the old plant to the
new site and ordering and placing new
will be carried out with
all possible haste, 1t being Mr.. Elliott's
plan to turn the wheels OF the new
factory on July A.
In joking way LEDGER reporter,
who was at the works this morning,
asked, "Will you christen the new
works with the use of a bottle Of wine
or one of Cottonwood Spring water?"
NO sir,n answered Mr.. Elliott,
"but I'll dedicate it by turning on all
of the force in the factory and put
ting in the hardest days work possi-
ble.n
That answer is characteristic Of Mr.
Elliott, as he is a man of deeds-a
worker.
