KRAUT FACTORY is
LOCAL POSSIBILITY
LARGE Concern Would Like to
Locate in Richmond, a
Letter States.
JOT ASKING FOR A BONUS.
ONLY REQUISITE THAT FOUR
HUNDRED ACRES BE PLANTED
IN CABBAGE AND FOUR HUN
DRED IN TOMATOES.

The Commercial club is in receipt of
a letter from local railroad, who is
interested in locating a large pulping
and krautfng factory in this city.
The only guarantee. bonus, or induce
ment asked by the new concern is that
farmers in the immediate vicinity OF
Richmond, raise four hundred acres of
tomatoes and four hundred acres of
cabbage each year if the factory is To-
Gated here The company desiring to
locate here is one of the largest of its
kind in the country. The Commercial
club has been asked to circulate among
the farmers to ascertain just what they
would be willing to do along these
lines AS soon as the prices to be paid
by the concern are ascertained, Sec
rotary Haas and other Commercial
club members will make short tour
of the districts surrounding Richmond
to interest the farmers in cabbage and
tomato culture.
With the excellent prices generally
offered by such companies for toma-
toes and cabbage, it is thought that
there will be no trouble in securing
enough farmers to raise the vegetables,
thereby making it possible to locate
the factory in Richmond. With lit
tie effort on the part of the CONNER
cial club. it is certainty that the con-
Germ will be located here. as the firm
desires to come to Richmond About
two hundred people are to be en-
