 MAY COME TO PHoENIX-Dur-
 ing his recent eastern visit J. A.
 Ball spent day in Rochester. N. r.,
 where he was the guest of Huther
 Bros, saw manufacturers, of that
 city He was shown through their
 magnificent plant, where almost ev-
 erything with a saw tooth or a rag
 ged edge can be turned out in the
 shortest possible time. They make
 saws for cutting trees, lumber, boards
 of all kinds and also for cutting
 metals. A circular saw can be turn
 ed out while you wait and the actual
 cost of making the individual saw
 is very small. The expense is in the
 cost of the wonderful machines used
 in the cutting of the steel. The
 Huther Brothers were apparently just
 as much interested in Arizona as MT
 Ball was in their saw factory. They
 made many inquiries concerning the
 opportunities for investment here and
 told Mir. Ball they would probably
 visit Phoenix this winter and study
 the country itself instead of the pie
 lures of it.
