mePCldI OlllcS VI TIC OCuutEy!
We have the chance now 10 secure
factory which will start US on our way
toward being one of the finest, as one
of the best agricultural towns of its
size in the United States. The fact Try
is not large, ana II does not require
mucn to secure it; but if we allow this
onportunity to slip by how can we hone
or expect to induce anv industry to To-
cate here. Three factories have made
nronOsitiOns to the Commercial Club
looking to the removal of their plants
here.
The Eastman Churn Manufacturing
Co., Of Cincinnati, o., has made a
proposition to locate its factory in
Paris and it rests with us to demon
strate cur industrial spirit by accepting
the offer. The affairs or the company
have been Investigated by two of our
leading citizens, who have given it
their best endorsement and have taken
stock in same. There remains yet to
be subscribed thirty-eight hundred dol
lars. If each citizen able to do so will
take even a small amour: of stock the
required number of shares will be sub
scgibed and we will secure the factory.
THE PROPOSITION.
The Eastman Manufacturing Com
pany, of Cincinnati, has been manufac-
turing a new chhrn, guaranteed to
produce a higE grade of butter in three
minutes, and some other household
novelties, including a patent window
and door screen, IN Cincinnati, since
June of this year. The two represen-
tatives Of the Comm 4rciai Club of Paris
who went to Cincinnati to investigate
this company found thar since June it
has been doing a nice business on the
churn. its leading product, and that
one of its principal customers is the
ShillitO Dry Goods Company. of Cincin-
natl, one of the leading houses of that
city, who report a fine sale on the
churn, and that it sells as well or bet
ter than any article or novelty they de-
mOnstrate for their trade. They state
the churn as great deal of CONNER.
cial merit and that there is no reason
why it should notssell readily wherever
introduced.
This churn will do all that is claimed
for il, and more sometimes it produces
butter in fifty seconds, and Mr.. w. D.
Hinton and Mr.. Geo. Rassentoss will
testify that they saw it do it. The
Eastman Manufacturing Company
agrees to move all of its factory proper
ty, now located in Cincinnati, to Paris

Paris will subscribe 5000 additional
stock Of the company for working capt.
tai, this 5000 to go into the treasury
OF the company to be used to further
push the business.
Of this SIS, 900, 81, 200 has been sub
Scrlbed for already by some OF the peo-
pie OF Paris. We must raise the bal
ance or we don't secure the factory.
Further, the factory Will employ at the
start about ten men, some of them skill
cd mechanics, and expects in the course
OF year or so to employ fifty to one
hundred men. The company will have
the United States for its Market, and
as the churn takes readily wherever in.
roduced, there is no reason why the
business should not expand rapidly.
Inc more business is done the more
valuable becomes the stock, which it
sell IS a frst-claSs investment and
should pay of itself the first year.
A'9o, the more business done, the more
people are employed; and the more
people who are employed in factories
IN our city the more money Will be
spent among the merchants.
Inc company does not come here ask
ing bonus, or something for nothing.
II asks that the people of this town
snow their interest in this factory
movement by subscribing to even a
small amount of stock. The day is
PAST When ally town or city can secure
Industries withoutspaying something to
secure them. Cities everywhere are
recognizing the value of factories and
are Offering considerable fiDanciae in
Gucements to secure them, often item
large cash bonuses and large tracts of
eiound. If Paris is not willing to do
SIhethIng the factories will go some
u "uere else. This may not be as we
