100000 PACKING HOUSE
Efforts Are Now Being Made by
Local Business Men to Form a
Company for the Purpose Of
Erecting Such an Institution.

We understand upon good authority
that movement is on foot for the
organization of company, for the
purpose of building and operating a
packing house in this city. The
capital required to float this concern,
as planned by those in control of the
movement, is about 800, 900, and the
purpose is to have as many local
people interested as it is possible to get.
Such an institution would employ a
goodly number of men, and greatly
benefit the city and county in more
ways than one. In fact, there is a
crying need for an institution of the
kind in this county, and it would
undoubtedly be an incentive for the
raising of stock by the farmers in this
locality.
just how nearly subscribed the
stock is, it is quite impossible to say
at the present writing, but the people
having the matter in charge are very
encouraged at the out look, and we
trust in the near future to be able to
chronicle the completion of the
company, and also the fact that our
local capitalists have taken hold Of
the matter with vim-for that would
spell success,

EXTENSIVE ADDITIONS
The Kaudy Mig, Co. Find addi=
tional Room Necessary From
the Outset, and Directors
Authorized New Building.

The Kaudy Mfg. Co. have been
meeting with unusual success even
from the start in this city. 1t is true
that they have not started the work
Of production as yet, for the good and
sufficient reason that it has consumed
a good deal of time to get the
plant into workable shape, but during
the time the preparatory work has
been going on, the orders have been
rolling in to Mr.. Kaudy, who manages
to be on the look out continually for
new business. In fact, the orders
have been coming in in such manner
as to make the present quarters made
quate, and the board of directors has
found it absolutely necessary to
authorize the extension of the build
ing, in order to provide the room
necessary for the turning out of the
work now on hand.
At their last meeting the directors,
on the recommendation of Manager J.
Kaudy, provided for the erection of
new addition to the present building
on the west end, 40 feet in length and
two stories high. The lower floor of
this addition will be used for a cabinet
room, while the room above will be
used for varniSh and finishing room.
Along the east end of the main
building, and extending out nearly to
the side track the company will erect
one Of the most modern and up-to-date
Sturdevant dry kilns, the entire struct-
ture to be of solid brick. This will be
one of the very best kilnS, in this
section of the state and will be a great
aid in the turning out of the very best
work.
The work of erecting these addi-
tions and improvements will be
started Immediately, and no time Will
be lost in pushing the work to con-
pletion, ds every day means a great
deal to this enterprise, which starts
out with glowing prospects for the
future.
