Thanks The post.

To the Editor Of The Post
Houston, Texas November s-We were
very much pleased this morning to read your
editorial on our factory which we have Just
completed in the Fifth ward, and wish TO
thank you very much for the editorial notice
II is doubly appreciated from the fact that
same was unsolicited ON our part and also
from the fact that your people show such
liberal spirit towards new enterprises being
established in this city
We have expended many thousands Of dol
lars in this enterprise and are going to use
every endeavor to make it a large success
and at the same time push the city OF Hous-
ton to the front in any way that we can
None OF the capital invested in this enter
prise is outside money; on the other hand
It is strictly Houston money
While OF course, we went into this en-
tive at the same time we felt It was the
duty FIRST Of home people to take the inita
tive in the establishment Of manufacturing
industries.
Just as soon as we get our factory in good
working shape we want to show your paper
appreciation in more substantial way
by keeping our business before the people
through It's columns.
Again thanking you for the courtesy vol
unfairly extended, and wishing your paper
continued success, we beg to remain,
Yours truly

ENGLAND'S CAMPS

The logging contract by John
England, who puts in timber on
the line of the new railroad for the
Tabor Lumber Co., of Keokuk, Ia
is an industry which means much
to the future of Virginia, and is
appreciated by our citizens at it's
true worth.
The camps are located in COLT,
eleven miles north of the city On
the new Duluth, Virginia & Rainy
River railroad. over which line and
the Eastern Minnesota shipments
are made to the Mississippi.
The contract will cover a period
OF four years longer, summer and
winter work, crew of upwards of
two hundred men being employed
at the present time, which number
will be increased as opportunity
permits.
The proximity of this work to
Virginia and to the new line in
sures to this city great amount of
trade, creating a recognized inn
provement in general business.
