A. j. Dickson of the Post and Aus.
tin Gavin of this city are already in
terested in the new company, while
many others have expressed desire
to secure some stock in the concern
as soon as the stock books are open.
The profits in the manufacture of
plaster are SO great that it is believed
this will prove tempting investment
and the incoporators have expressed
a desire to have our local people Sc
cure as much interest as possible in
the new concern. Requests for stock
are coming in rapidly from Denver,
Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek,
Florence and Portland but quantity
of stock will be set aside for the de-
mands of Glenwood and vicinity.
The buildings of the company are
to be entirely of steel and arranged
after the most modern designs and the
company will employ from rs to 100
men the year round. 1t will thus
prove of great value to the town OF
Glenwood Springs and the country
contiguous and it is believed our citi
zens will be liberal in encouraging
the venture. Anyone interested in the
value of the gypsum rock in this vi
cinity may examine at this Office 6
