several terms and city assessor for
some years, he was courteous and
exemplary. He was devoted faith
er and friend and those who knew

Der 9th, 1882, and died at his home
in Earlville, Jan. II, 1906, being
70 years, 3 months and 3 days OF

A Factory Promised.

Representatives of the manufac-
turing firm of II. B. Glover & Co.,
Of Dubuque were in the city last Fri
day looking over the ground with the
idea OF establishing branch factory
in Manchester. The firm is one Of
the largest manufacturers of ladies'
and gents furnishing goods in the
United States. 1t has several branch
factories in smaller towns, making
it a policy to avoid the larger cities
ON account Of the ever present diff
Guilty of securing reliable and trust
worthy help and in meeting the de-
mands of labor unions. The firm
has branch factory at Guttenburg
which gives steady employment to
seventy-five to one hundred young
women, their work consisting prin-
cipally in cutting and sewing gar
ments. The idea is to establish a
similar plant here which would give
immediate employment to fifty or
more girls. 1t is understood that a
representative of the firm will be in
Manchester again in the near future
and make canvass Of the town, and
if sufficient belp can be secured the
factory will be established here.
Manchester needs nothing more
than just this sort of business. 1t
is the wage earners with plenty of
work and plenty of money that
makes prosperous community.
Our citizens should do everything
possible to encourage these enter
p'ises and make the way as easy as
possible for the entrance of II. B.
Glover & Co. into our city.
