COMMERCIAL UNION ACTIVE.
Work of the year Shows to the
Credit of the Organization.
CRACKER FACTORY WANTED.
Eagle Biscuit Co. Of. Wintflror
Would Locate in this City.

After having rested for half year
the Commercial Union Of this city
met in special session Friday for the
purpose Of listening to the proposals. Of
q representative from the Eagle Biscuit
Go. of Winthrop, who has been here th4
past few days previous to- the meeting
for the purpose Of interesting some Of
the capitalists Of the city city in the
project Of moving the Winthrop factory
to this city.
L seems that the factory is not pay
Ing where it is locate for two reasons,
one is that there is no outlet for the
product and the other is that misfortune
has logged the steps Of the Institution
ever since it STARTED In the first place
they had high priced man from New
York who was evidently interested IN
working the factory for the benefit Of
the Cracker trust aud the goods he turn
ed out were SO iDferi i that they had TO
be sold at loss and much that he had
in preparation spoiled SO that il had to
be thrown away and the result is that
the reputation of the plant has been
spoiled, besides this fire damaged the
plant many Thousand dollars and the
/ =
people who have put their money iato
It became SO crippled that they are un-
able to carry the work on as it should
be. -
The above are the reasons that have
driven the plant to seek new location
and look for larger capital. It is evil
dent that no small concern can pay in
any place, and tomake success Of any
venture it must he of sufficient magni-
tude to command the attention Of the
people and SO large that it cannot be
crushed out with one or two attacks of
bad luck. There is no doubt that there
is money in the business of manufac-
turing crackers; they are a staple article
and something that will be used as long
as people eat and it is good thing for
any town rightly managed. There are
required in tue factory some twenty-five
people and the competition is not such
that there is not loom for the factory,
but 1t can be seen that to make 1t pay
money must be at hand to give it h
start and those who nave had the man
agement Of the plant at Winthrop have
found This out.
Mr.. Holberg appeared before the In
ion FRIDAY evening and presented the
claims of the factory and committee

fort to secure the necessary inducements
