See about Locating Here.

a. \ Carlisle Of Bryan. O., a represent
al We Of the Van Camp Packing Co., has
been IN town most Of the past week taking
up the matter OF locating factory n has
company here with farmers and business
men. This concern Is well known as
large producers Of the highest grades OF
eXapOrated cream on the market. IL Is
rated high financially and thoroughly re-
sponsible. Its present factories are three
In number-at Indianapolis, Ind, Mau-
seon, o., and Efingham, M. The Mauseon
factory has just been completed and is ~
ceiving 10000 lbs. Of milk per day. Boston
has become a large distributing point for
the Van Camp people, and they see the
need Of esta biishing factory nearer this
market, hence will soon locate somewhere
in northern New England, They are con-
sidering several points IN New England,
among which Is Randolph. The other
places would be glad 10 get them, but they
seem quite favorably disposed toward
Randolph, iLsuitable arrangements can be
made.
This company asks no inducements from
our citizens. All it wants is a guaranty OF
al least $4,000 lbs. Of good, sweet, pure
milk per day from our farmers, for one
year. After years trial, Il is willing TO
take chances on farmers being satisfied,
and expects to handle at least 10000 tbs.
then, which is about the equivalent OF
The company pays for milk price
which is somewhat higher than the
farmers now realize in all ways from their
milk products, allowing a reasonable price
for skim milk, hence giyinga better mRr-
ket. The requirements governing the
conduct Of dairies and care Of milk, which
were published In this paper some time
ago. we're intended for be Western dairy
men, and will be modified in a reasonable
way TO suit the conditions present here in
the East, so that II will not be onerous to
comply with them. All the company
wants is pure, sweet milk.
The Van Camps, IL they locate here,
will build AT once plant that Will cost
about 100000. They will employ from 10
20 75 hands at good wages, so that the m
dustry will mean large addition TO our
town business and grand list.
As far as seen, the farmers lend a willing
ear TO the Van Camp proposition, desiring
to learn all they can of it. Seyernl leading
dairymen have already promised the iae-
tory their product and their hearty sup
port.
II will probably be several days before
any definite action will be taken by the
Van Camp Co. in the matter. The Central
Vermont railway is doing all In its power
TO induce the company 10 locate here. Its
travelling freight agent, Z. A. Sharon OF
Montreal, has been on the ground two
days during the week.
j. V. Dittemore, vice president OF the
Van Camp Packing Co, OF indianapolis, is
in town today investigating the condi-
tions here, and we have great hopes that
the decision win be in favor OF Randolph.
That other places have an eye out for
this industry Is shown by the following
editorial in last evenings August
"Why don't the Montpelier board OF
trade make an attempt TO have the Van
Camp condensed milk company, which is
nov looking FOR lueatiun for new factory
in this state, locate here ~
