A NEEDED INDUSTRY.

A prominent miller of the city sug
gests to The Bulletin an idea toward
the realization OF a Greater Cairo,
which seems TO be entirely feasible
and which would add another
industry TO the eity's list of industrial
enterprises. That is the establish.
ment OF bag factory.
In the opinion of the gentleman re.
ferred to, and he is well informed on
the subject, there is an ample field
here for such an enterprise. The
large grain and -four concerns Of
Caro- use hundreds and perhaps thou
sanls CT various kinds of bags every
day in sacking their products-meal.
-four, wheat bran and feed stuffs and
grains of all kinds There is,' II is
stated, sufficient demand in this city
alone 10 keep such a factory busy. But
the field is even larger. PaIucah has
large grain interes which require
large amount of bags daily and Pa
dueah has no such factory. Yet il Is
our next door neighbor and would no
doubt find it profitable TO patronize
such a local industry Then there are
large milling and grain interests al
Chester, Dongola. Anna. Jonesboro
and other towns In this territory
whose business in this line could be
secured
The Bulletin Is informed that there
is NOT bag factory between st. Louis
and Memphis, the patronage Of this
large field being divided between
those Two cities.
Such a factory could be established
at gery Rominal cost 1t would not
be expansive And II seems entirely
reasonable that il would flourish
from the start.
Local capital might become inter
ested in This suggestion with profit to
itself and TO the city.
Every new industry, no matter how
small helps swell c1tys prosperity
and It's volume of business. A bag
factory, even though a small concern.
which II would be, would probably
employ 20 or 25 men at the least.
Using the sta istical estimate OF five
persons to family. here Is one hun.
dred persons added to the city's popu.
ld,ion The average cost of living Is
possibly $500 per family per year.
Here taen would be an increase TO
the cily's retail trade of $12,5OO per
nnnum.
Surely, bag factory Is worth CON
sidoration by the public spirited cl
izens who are pushing the very wor.
