CONCERNING THE PRO-
POSED PIANO FACTORY

The following circular letter, recently
issued by the Advancement association
of this city, will be of general interest
to our readers in the county:
THE procuring of the Piano factory,
so long under discussion in our city,
seems at this time to he within our
reach. There are, however, a few
things yet to be done. Mr.. BrocBmaler,
one of the parties interested, has been in
our city the last few days, and the
directors of the Advancement Associa
ton have had several conferences with
him. and we believe that we understand
the Company's proposition, 1t will now
depend upon our success to sell IL certain
number of lots out of the sub division
whereon the factory is TO be located, and
the sale for these lots will open Monday
morning. Everyone interested, in the
purchase of II lot for any reason what
ever, either that he may wish to- -be the
owner thereof or that he may wish to
assist the project, will make his desires
known at the earliest possible date, 80
that we may be abe to ascertain whether
we will be successful in our efforts or
not. Everyone contracting for the pur-
chase of a lot or lots, will enter into such
agreement with the Advancement As
sociation, who will hold such contract
until the final contract between the
citizens here and the Piano Company
shall be definitely determined and closed.
and no contract will be surrendered by
us or turned over to the Piano Company
until they have positively secured to us
the erection and operation Of the Piano
plant proposed. The payments on the
when the contract with the Piano Com
pany shall be closed, 1 when the founda-
tion therefore shall be completed, and
when the roof shall be on the building
without interest during this time.
Some idea may be formed of what we
are trying to procure when we are seek
ing to carry this deal with the Piano
Company, from the statement lately re-
ceived from Mr.. NetZow, over his own
signature, and now in the hands of the
Advancement Association, wherein he
states that he has, in the year 1904 sold
51G1 instruments, and in the months of
January, February and March, 1905,
9,3s instruments, and if you will give
this matter "a little consideration, you
can easily determine the vast Importance
of plant that would manufacture the
number OF goods that these people have
at this time demand for, and are now
selling.
We believe that no efforts should be
spared on the part of anyone who has
the interest of the City of Manitowoc at
heart, to give us ut this time their assis-
tance to sell or purchase these lots, so
that we may not be forced after all the
efforts we have put in, to lie down and
declare our inability to carry this prop
osition, and it may be added that the
time within which we are to do this, is
very limited 1t is therefore absolutely
necessary that this effort be put in at
once If we are correctly informed, and
we have reason to believe it, this plant
will be lost and 90 to some other city
unless we can procure the same within
short time.
The site selected for the erection of
the Piano factory, is that known as the
Cemetery site, on the Rapids Road ad-
joining the city limits, II plat of which
may be had upon application to the
members of the Board of Directors of
the Advancement Association.
Mr.. Scheuer who has spent consider
able time in the city in the interests of
this project, may be found at any time
at the Williams House and will he glad
to receive your applications for the
purchase of lots, and will make personal
call upon prospective purchasers. y
