surance of the success of the project
its success is already assured. In order
to learn the ideas of some of the bust
ness men. the T.-R. telephoned several
this morning. All heartily endorse the
movement, and many We're found who
are now ready to subscribe their names
as members of the company. Some
We're found who did not clearly under
stand the scheme, and preferred not to
so on record. Others who are known
to be favorable could not be seen. The
sentiment, as expressed in the inter-
views, is as follows
Q. l.. Ingledue. Il think it is fine. and
just the thing for Marshalltown. I am
IN on 1t. IS everyone knows, and am
ready with my money"
w ii. burrows. Il am in on it. and
think 1t is the best proposition that has
ever been advocated. l am heartily in
favor of 1t. and will work for it In every
way I can. Capital to the extent OF
$4,000 or $4,000, to invest in new en-
terprises. is going to make good
showing for Marshalltown. and cannot
help but result in much good. l ar
going to be member of the company
I. J. Fletcher, Il think it Is a practical
business like way of obtaining lust
what we want. I am heartily in favo,
of It. and am going to subscribe. The
trouble heretofore has been that we
have been working single handed, and
at much annoyance and expense. Now,
by combining our efforts, we can work
and in a business-li like
manner"
A. G. Click. II have always been in
favor of it. and 1t is the only business
proposition. In my opinion, we have had
presented to us for some time. 1t is .
systematic, business effort, and will
win AS to our subscribing stock |

fore the company. butEthere is no doubt
in my mind that we shall"

good idea, and l can see nothing better

time. We will subscribe

think it will be a strong encourage
ment for bringing an interurban line to
the city, when it Is known that Mar
shalltown has large amount of money
to invest in the building up Of indus
tries. or for the increasing of what we
already have
II. j. Howe, Il am in favor of the
proposition, and have been all the time.
I think II is Il good thing, and if 1t is
properly managed will do lots of good.
1t is the best scheme that has been pro-
posed"
S. w. LaShelle. II think 1t is mighty
good scheme, and we are ready to take
stock in it. 1t is one of the best and
safest propositions know of, and beats
going into everything that comes along
and putting your money where you
don't expect to realize anything out OF
It."
A. F. Balch, II think If everyone takes
a hold of this scheme 1t is a good prop
osition. 1t appears to be practically
unanimous, and I favor 1t If it can be
made so. We should agree on some one
thing, and then stand by it altogether
Fred Hopkins. Il have already en-
dorsed it, as you know. l think it is
a good scheme, If managed intelligently
and am ready to subscribe"
]. L. Carney, II was not at the meet
Ing last night, but favor the PROPOSE
ton as I understand 1t. 1t seems to be
q very good idea, and will be successful
if the fund is invested safely, and dis
bursed under the advice and control Of
men, who will make d
full and fair report of what is done.
should be as public as pos
sible I heartily favor 1t, provided 1t is
guided by the proper restrictions"
f. r. Lay, Il think it is the best thing
that has ever been proposed for Mar
shalltown. In the hands of 100 men.
there can't be a majority that will do
anything rash. 1t is the safest and best
ever put before us, and my
is ready at any time"
C. r. Speers, You know how feel
about it. l am in for it. for consider
the scheme very practical one. ] am
ready to take stock
]. II. Wright, Jr., II think 1t Is good

best thing we have had"
l. o. Ken1ble, Il favor it and consider
it good thing
w. M. Clark, ut is one Of the best
schemes ever started in town, and I
heartily favor it. If there is anything
to US. we want to be able to
take hold of it at once, and have the
ready"
c. H. Hull, Il think the scheme is all
right, and don't see any reason why
IL shouldn't prove successful. II we
get the right men to take hold of 1t, l
think the success is already assured
N. S. Ketchum, ut is a good scheme.
and surely good enough TO try. ! am
ready to take stock.
L. G. Norris, TT looks to me that If
we can get the amount subscribed, and
the proposition is managed right, we
ought to be able to land two or three
new factories every year. / think tha
dea Is most excellent one, if properly
worked out"
