promoter who is looking for 10
cation for man who wishes to put
$4,000 to 100000 into such
factory has been referred by Gen
eral Passenger Agent Doherty to
the Business Mems Club of Browns
vile. Secretary Bannon cal vassed
the club on the subject very prompt
~ and has written in reply that a
site for a factory would be donated
and other inducements offered, be-
sides, of course. assuring the pro-
moter of the fact that no better To-
cation could be found for such a
plant anywhere, the large crops of
sweet corn and other truck produc-
ed II this vicinity lnsurlng an
abundance of material. 1t is to be
hoped that we may succeed in
landing this factory, as it would
greatly stimulate truck growing in
this vicinity, besides putting much
money into circulation here for
labor. etc. The HERALD has al
ways contended that a canning
factory would be a paying enter
prise in Brownsville.
