FACTORIES GOOD INVESTMENTS
Everybody Seems to Think Local Fac.
tory Enterprises are Good Places to
Invest Money-Much Building In
Residence Districts Expected for the
Coming Year.

A newspaper man is no newspaper
man at all unless he keeps his ear close
to the ground where the true state OF
public sentiment is swiftly and accur
ately telegraphed to him. The editor
of the T.-R., believing that he could
see all around him a better feeling Ill
Marshalltown, better business on all
sides and distinct tone of optimism
among our citizens, thought that ne
would put himself to test upon this in
fallible guage of newspaper mans
isfied him. One hundred letters were
sent to business men and artisans.
Thirty have replied and more are going
to. The questions asked We're designed
to ascertain what business men expect
ed in the way OF increased business
during the coming year, whether they
looked for much building to be done,
whether they had faith in Marshall
town property as an investment and
how they looked upon Marshalltown
factories as place in which to put
money and what could be done to get
new enterprises started.
1t is remarkable that every letter re-
ceived is an enthusiastic one, most OF
them express confidence in Marshall
town realty values altho several be-
lieve that city property is already high
enough. Nearly every one looks for
more building in the residence districts
this year and the dominant thought in
every one is that Marshalltown factor
les offer the best investments that can
be found anywhere. If these letters
are representative no man with good
factory in Marshaltown need lack tor
capital with which to expand.
Reimer Makes Good Suggestion.
Mr.. c. F. Reimer, a leading contract
or and builder, says:
"Will say l am looking for good
business next season, especially IN the
building line The latter part of last
summer and fail was exceeding
ly good and at present writing am still
very busy in every branch of the build
ing line. l do not know much about
real estate, but it surely must be a
good investment.
I'm regard to factories, l would say
that we are in need of a good brick
yard. At present our two brick yards
have not over 100 thousand brick on
hand. And in case of early work we
would have to ship in brick. This
should not be done; we ought to ship
out instead, as we have the best ship
ping facilities in the state.
I'VE also need good planning mill,
as there are thousands of dollars worth
of nlillwork shipped here every season.
Take for. instance the stock that each
of our lumber men are laying in, such
as doors, sash, base-boards, casing and
mouldings, besides complete orders for
new buildings On the morning after
the Church and Cottle fire millman
from Dubuque made the remark to me.
after strolling around for while and
having visited the ruins Of the fire;
wish l had mill in this town think
with little Undue ement it would not be
hard to get such a good practica;
man here, as most people think Mar
shalltown is a beautiful place and they
are not mistaken"

Grows Enthusiastic.

"Marshalltown is good enough for
me. I was born and 1 lived in a small
town for number of years, but spent
the remainder of my life, outside of the
past four years, in one of the busiest
cities Of this country. The other fell
low can have the high grass towns and
the big cities; your humble servant
is going to camp right here in Mar
shalltown just as long as providence
will permit.
Business in 1905 was splendid, but 1
firmly believe 1906 will be better and
for the very sim pie and common sense
reason that we have as yet only begun
to feel the prosperity which the enor-
nous crops of 1906 have brought to
our door.
LAS to buying Marshalltown real es-
tate in a speculative way, have no opin-
ion, but as to the purchase of the same
for an investment or for a home, CAM
not see how one can miss it on present
valuations.
What do we need to make MARSHALL
town more prosperous? To just keep
on advertising and boosting ourselves
as in the past year. That's the system
and the only system. On every vehicle
which leaves our buggy company is a
Marshalltown tag. Oil, machines, fur
naces and many other items are going
from this little city all over this CEN
trail and western country with that
Marshalltown tag. Look at the Dun
ham Company and other small manu-
featuring companies which have sprung
up lately. These are what we want
and what we are. going to get if we are
enthusiastic about it. We can't be too
egotistical. In the course of a year
the people of NJ arshalltown practically
cover all this country. Just think Of
the advertising we should get if we all
do our duty. l am glad to see you so
much interested for no one can or will
do us more good than your own self.
I have made up my mind to keep at it
harder than ever this year. Our pro-
duct is sold from southern Missouri
almost to Canada and | am going to
get that Marhalltown tag on every
package can and it is on most of them
now. Enthusiasm, cooperation, good
fellowship and to keep eternally and
everlastingly at it, are the paving
stones to more prosperity for us all

The high wind of Sunday afternoon

into the narrow cuts, in which freight
trains were stalled, three being showed

Mountain and Waterloo. The intense
cold made operations still more diff

in keeping up fires.
The passenger trains from the south

tied up here for about twelve hours 1t
was expected the road would. be clear
