Of Hawleyville and vicinity, last FRI

towards starting factory there. The
agent did not arrive until a later train
than was expected so many of the
farmers had gone home. AS near as
can be gathered should they think of
starting they would want assurance of
100 cans, or could $50 cans be found
within radius of three miles with a
fair prospect of more they would start,
running their chances OF getting what
they would want.
