the chanaes are that The present year
will prove the greatest Year in the
history Il ine city in the way of IN
dustrial Improvement and develop
ment. The locating here of the Van
Camp Packing conIpany's condensing
plant and the building of the new
Interurban line are two factors that
will contribute to make Watertown
lively this summer.
These two industries are already
familiar to all of the citizens of the
city, the details of which have been
published from time to time, work
upon both being in progress at the
present time. But the Industrial
activity does not end with these con-
Germs and it is very evident that more
activity will contribute to the gener-
al welfare of the city.
One of the recent industries loca-
ting in WATERFOWL to make rapid
strides in the Industrial world is the
Washington Cutlery company. Their
factory is busy mart and a5 the
present time is being operated at full
capacity, the number of employees
being greatly increased since their
locating here early in the spring.

the employment of from twenty to

in Milwaukee for the reason that il
was impossible for the company tt
secure residences here for employees
The chances are that at later date
the employees at Milwaukee will b'
removed to this city.
the Watertown Advancement

on their staff that are looking for I
