strated beyond reasonable doub
that you have the material in abund
ance. II is now up to the interested
citizens, ii they desire this industr,
here, to further encourage the projecl
to successful termination by theil
financial support
Capital has been offered from out
siders but Il they get control OF the
Industry its location might be a ser.
ious proposition 10 the welfare Of the
city OF Astoria, 1t is presumed that
Astorians want the industry and It's
monthly payroll, Now is the time for
action and to get in on the ground
floor, as you will receive first con,
sideration at all times. Hence, il evi-
denty is advisable for the home peo.
lple to take the lead in this assured
enterprise.
1t should be the policy OF the com
pany to stick close to manufacturing
lines and other mercantile interests
supply the various wants OF its emf
iployees. Live and let live should be
the motto. Patronize first those
who patronize the entirprise, in hon.
or preferring one another You will
not be sighted but given fair show
to so in with your eyes open.
You will not be asked for much
$4,000 will finance this proposition
for dry-press brick plant with a
daily capacity OF from $4,000 to lS,-
600 brick. You will be asked to sub
scribe for stock at 500 per share to
be paid in full when the proper
amount is fully subscribed. No stock
gambling scheme, but straightforward
square dealing on honest business
principle is what is wanted to build a
plan fright to run right.
Incorporation under the laws OF
the State for the above amount will
safely start the enterprise. Articles
OF incorporation can provide for an
extension OF the plant when neces
sary without further legal proceed
ings. When stock is subscribed to
warrant going ahead. directors will
be chosen by the stockholders who
will. manage the enterprise. The ele-
ment of non-productive capital and
idle equipment will at all times be
avoided as much as possible.
In this connection those who wish
to further investigate as to the stand
ing and character OF the party doing
the test work and promoting the en-
terprise will find on file with the man
ager of the Chamber OF Commerce,
J. H. Whyte, a dozen recommenda.
tions which you are invited to look
into.
Some are from bankers, large busi-
ness houses, professors OF colleges,
preachers, editors, attorneys at law,
brick factories, and note in particular
The one from the general manager OF
The street railways of Oakland, Cal.
These recommendations are from
parties in the East and in the West,
Note also the further qualifications OF
/ college degree of bachelor OF
science which speak for itself.
To build a plant to manufacture
10Th face building and paving brick,
would require more capital than the
!bove mentioned sum. 1t would
mean the manufacture Of brick by
10Th the dry-press and stiff mud
,rocess. The latter process however,
equires an extensive and expansive
ystem of drying the products of the
waste heat plan from hot kilns.
But when the dry-press process is
nee installed and operated Sue
essfully circumstances will doubtless
,arrant in a short time the extension
f the plant to not only include paw
1g brick but terra Gotta, drain tile
nd other clay products as orna
tents, flower pots, etc.
