night, asking Tor SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
stock In the Bottle Glass factory,
met with good success. After a
canvas'of only two hours, two hun
dred and seventy five shares Of
stock was taken and several others,
in fact every man asked to Sub
scribe promised to take stock to-
day. Everybody was pleased with
the proposition and no one had a
word of objections to offer. The
soliciting committee will try and
finish up the work this afternoon
and evening. Make up your minds
at once what amount of stock you
can take and be ready to subscribe
when the committee waits on you.
We believe the stock will pay
good dividends, at least six per
cent. per annum clear of all taxes,
insurance and other expenses.
Other factories make money that
are not as advantageously situated
as we are. We can get natural gas
at s cents per thousand feet, while
other plants pay II and IS cents
thousand Tor fuel, and still make
money. We can get boy labor here
cheap.for the reason we have no fac.
tory now In the city that gives en-
ploynent TO boys. This Is great
advantage 10 our plant. We have
an abundance of boys In this city,
many of whom would be only too
glad to have work at reasonable
price, SO we are well situated as TO
this important feature to bottle
plant that will give employment to
from I so to $50 boys and girls. In
addition to our cheap gas and
plenty of laborers we have the river
to ship by, the cheapest freights In
the world. We have a good rail-
road In addition to the river. We
can locate our plant above high
water mark. We will have cash
capital of twenty thousand dollars
to begin work with. We will have
experienced and practical men at
the head of the concern. Our own
people, chosen by our home stock
holders will expend the money.
The stock subscribed for will not
be all called In for at least six
months. The money will be kept
In our home banks. 1t will all be
expended here. We. will have to
build a large plant which will give
employment to at least one hun
dred skilled men right away. 1t
means right now In the dullest
month of the year, work and plenty
of 1t for all who want to 60 to
work. .
The beauty of the whole plan Is
that we do not give dollar away
to anybody. We buy and will pay
cash for all we do. 1t will learn
our people that 1t Is possible for us
to run and operate such plants, so
In the future we will not have to
give big bonues to get plants here.
1t gives our capitalists good thing
to invest their money In right at
home. We know there Is more
than one business house In this
city that will move away If we do
not go on permanently improving
our city. These men will remain
here if we demonstrate the fact we
are going to keep the boom boom
ling here by adding new factories.
People and many of them, have
been watching TO see what we
would do. They will remain here
and locate permanently If we keep
on adding a new plant every year.
We have no douot but what we can
locate this factory, but all must do
their duty. Capital Is always slow
to take hold of new proposition so
all must come In to this plant and
make 1t 60.
If we locate this plant here, inside
of the next six months we will have
at least a hundred new families
here. These people will have to
have houses to live In. This will
cause new houses to be built. They
will all have to be fed and clothed.
They will buy boots and shoes, dry
goods. groceries and everything Our
merchants have to sell. They will
buy produce, chickens, eggs. butter,
milk and all our farmers have tc
sell. They viii be permanent citi
