ANOTHER INDUSTRY
SEEKING LOCATION
REED CITY. MICH. INDUSTRY
WANTS A BRANCH.
Ideal Light and Fuel Co., Now
Manufacturing Gas Producers
Established Plant Nine Months
AqO-A Representative Coming
Here Soon,

Another industry is seeking a loca
tion and in an effort to find such are
making goo-goO eyes at WatertoWn.
The proposed institution to which re.
ference Is made il branch factory
of the Reed City (Mich.) Ideal Light.
and Fuel company. The concern re-
Gently established factory in the
Michigan city for the manufacture OF
gas producing machines and has only
been in operation for ninety days, the
people are DESTROYS Of establishing a
factory further west in order to take
care of the trade in Wisconsin, ILL
nois, minnesota, Iowa and the two
Dakotas. 1t il understood that sever
al local parties are interested In the
promoting Of the new industry here,
and are ready to subscribe stock in
the event of the establishment of a
plant here. w. H. Ball, the mana
ger of the concern, will visit Water
town some time next week, probably
Thursday or Friday, for the purpose
of conducting public demonstration,
lasting for week or ten days. One
of the machines manufactured by the
Reed City concern was shipped to
Waterto IN yesterday and is expected
to arrive about the middle OF the
week The new machine will be set
I'D in one of the vacant buildings and
L. 70 No
demonstrations begin next Saturday,
personally conducted by MIR. Ball.
An effort is being made to secure the
Evans building in which to conduct
the DEMONSTRATORS.
Similar gas producing machines
are on the market, but the new fea-
ture of the one IN question is said to
be the cold process carbureter, which
is compact, neat ar d durable, arranged
for a compressed air inlet and an out
let for generated gas The points of
the machine are as follows: Aside
from the winding of the Counter
weights. the machine is automatic in
its operation; without any qualifica-
tion whatever the process is entirely
cool, therefore is absolutely safe !;
because of the drup-by drop delivery
of gasoline into the carbureter and the
holding of each drop in suspension
until the carbonizing OF the air is &C
complished, here is less than One-halt
of one per cent of loss or waste of
gasoline; no specia! piping is required,
ordinary gas pipe and fixtures are all
that are necessary; the sole operating
expenses are found in the cost of the
gasoline used and as three gallons of
gasoline will generate IL cubic feet OF
superior gas, the cost per thousand
for the gas cannot we'll get above
cents and more likely would approx
mate SO cents; the light made by the
Ideal gas machine is whittier, clearer,
stronger, more constant or steadler
and cleaner than any other artificial
light now known, while for heating
purposes the gas is cheaper than
either wood or coal, is always ready
for use, with no fires to build, no
no other refuse or dirt to remove.
1t Is equally clean for cooking pur-
pUses.
A gentleman who is familiar with
the new machine, informs The Leader
that the cost of installation of an
Ideal gas lighting and heating machine
varies according to location-in the
cellar or outside of the building to be
served-of the gasoline reservoir and
the number of lights and heaters re-
quired, but, as in all cases of actual.
permanent value. such first cost is d
question of investment only. The net
profits arising from the use of the ma
chimes, it is claimed, has time and
again been demonstrated to be more
than 25 per cent, such profit arising
from economy as to fuel, labor and
care.
The Leader is in receipt OF another
letter from L. c. Hanafourde, the
Chicago gentleman who is trying to
secure the establishment of an auto
mobile factory in Watertown, OF
which mention has been made in the
recent past. The gentleman writes
very encouragingly of the project and
among other things says: "We are
getting along very we'll with our autu-
mobile factory and | hope to be able
to spend two or three days in Water
tuun in the very near future. Il was
my intention to visit your city some
time ago, but | have been delayed
each time / intended going. How
ever, l will be there From the pre-
sent outlook, | feel confident that the
automobile factory in Watertown is
a sure fact. If you can find picture
of the factory building we discussed
on my last visit, l wish you woule
send 1t to me.
The building referred to is the ont
on North Water street formerly uset
by the Woodland & Stune company
which Mr.. Hanafourde thinks, will
remodeling and an addition, woult
make an ideal factory building.
Hope for Her Recovery.
