WHAT THE SAND is FOR.
Right Kind May Bring Big Factory
to This City.

The advertisement which has APP
peared in the News for several days
in which Pratt-Brown Company ask
for l, 200, 900 tons of sand has attracted
considerable attention not only from
those who have sand to sell, but from
the ordinary reader, who are inclined
to treat the matter as a joke.
Mr.. Brown, of the real estate firm
declares there is every reason to take
the matter seriously. He say that if
a sufficient Quantity of sand of the
right kind can be secured, a large
manufacturing concern will locate
here. The firm needs the sand in
their Business, but it must be of a
certain quality, AS replies are re-
ceived from those having sand to sell,
samples of the desired article are
sent to the firm where it is analysed.
1t Is the desire of the Pratt-Brown
Company to bring the new concern to
this vicinity if possible.
