G. c. Janney Submits Plan for New
Industry for OttumWa.

Industry for OttunWa.
To the Public:
We are at work trying to locate a
large stove works in our factory build
ing IN this city We have made it a
point to find a line of goods and a
business that will be congenial to the
territory tributary to Ottumwa, and
with this in view we have made con-
tract with a large stove and range COM
pany to locate here, and in order to
bring this about the stove company de-
sires to place some preferred stock.
They will incorporate for $250,000 at
Ottumwa and move to Ottumwa and
establish a business with one of the
best lines of stoves manufactured in
the United States.
This company Is composed of prac-
tical men in the business, and with
more capital will make very large
and probable business for Ottumwa and
should employ 500 men in the next
two years. There is no stove works Of
any magnitude west of the Mississippi
at this time and all stoves and ranges
have to be shipped into this territory
tablishment of this plant at Ottumwa
Will GudDl0 Tile Sl W oul
in the crude material at a low rate of
freight, manufacture the goods in OF
tumwa and distribute the same west
at profit.
The object of this notice Is to lay
the matter as whole before the citi-
zens of Ottumwa, as it will take
prompt action if anything is to be done.
The secretary Of the stove company
is in Ottumwa with headquarters at
the Janney factory, where he has a
carload of stoves and ranges on exhibit
ton, and will take pleasure in showing
the same to anyone interested.
1t is my desire that this deal can be
carried through as am interested in
having the plant that built in Ottum-
wa make large and profitable concern
| for the city and it's good citizens.
l have the honor of being the indi-
vidual that introduced the Dain propo.
sition to the citizens of Ottumwa,
which needs no comment.
1t is my prediction if this matter is
taken mold Of as it can be that every
statement made above can be fully car.
ried out.
The question is-Does Ottumwa
want this stove works to come in and
employ 500 skilled mechanics?
Respectfully submitted,
G. Campbell Janney.
