Good Business Outlook at Phoenix
There is Just now abundant proof that the viii
lage of Phoenix is determined that its name
shall not disappear from the list of manufae-
turing towns on the Northern Central Rail-
way. The people of that vicinity are thor
oughly aroused to the necessity of establishing
various smaller industries to take the place of
the large cotton mill which has closed, and
are willing to spend their money for the gen.
eral benefit of the town.
The engine for the new shirt factory has
been delivered and is now being installed
MIR. Miller, one of the proprietors of the new
enterprise, said on Tuesday that the necessary
shafting and other machinery had been ship
ped. Operators from several of the nearby
towns and elsewhere have already made ap-
plication for employment in the new factory
and it is believed they can be supplied with
work within very short time. 1t is conser-
vatively estimated that the operators in the
new factory can, after becoming experienced
in their work, earn more money than they
were able to make in the cotton mill, as it is a
fact that the average wage'earner, with the ex-
ception of the weavers, received less than SIS
per month. 1t is contemplated to install the
highest speed machines in the new factory and
none of the employees should make less than
SIS per month.
1t is reported that Messrs. William J. Slower
ard Joseph H Morris will establish a carpet
manufacturing enterprise in the village.
