tual benefit and profit. A small sum
of twenty-five cents month is paid
in to keep up the organization. The

TO LOCATE A SITE

Richmond is to have a new factory.
A large concern, the object of which
is the manufacture of tables and dl-
vers other articles Of furniture, IS
trying it's level best to get into Rich
mond. Tothat end it is now endeavor
ing to obtain a suitable site of sutfi-
cient advantages to induce the factory
to move here. Negotiations are now
on between both sides which will re-
suit soon in the moving of the fac
tory to Richmond There is plenty of
money behind the enterprise and the
capitalists of the concern are anxious
for a situation in this city. A good
location is now in view and the fac
tory is endeavoring to secure it. The
formal announcement to the public
of the coming factory will be made
soon. The new factory will add an
other name to Richmond's now quite
extensive list of factories. 1t is a
lar.e concern, employing many men
and Richmond will take another jump
when it comes into the list Of boom
cities. Richmond now has more fac
tories than any other city of its size
in this part Of the country, fact Of
which we may well be proud, and is
rapidly developing into a factory city
entirely. Each succeeding factory
adds more to the list of the popula-
ton, besides bringing In another
source Of local revenue.
The new canning factory is COM
ing along finely. In a few days the
men will be hired and by the first of
August the plant will be running
steady.
Several new machines have arrived
and been set up, and everything is
now in readiness for the canning. The
last Of the carpenters, etc, have
been dismissed and the place looks
like a substantial factory. The peo-
moters are confident that it will prove
money maker and paying invest
ment.
The factories which not long ago
were letting off men have now reached
period of prosperity and it is not
as hard as formerly to secure situa-
tions in the working departments OF
the factories.
