The Industrial Development Of Little
Falls Still in It's Infancy and
Bound to Increase.

In the fine plant of the Hennepin
paper company about =, 900 tons of
paper are made annually, about 100
men being employed in this institution
and the product finding ready sale in
the markets of this section of the
country.
Then the two fine -four mills
employ a large lumber of skilled
workmen, the Northwestern Milling
company producing about 220, 600
barrels of -four per year and the Little
Falls Milling company about 60, 600
barrels OF flour and 10, 900 tons of feed.
These mills ship to all parts of the
United States east of the mountains,
their we'll known brands helng justly
popular with consumers wherever
known.
Few cities IN the country Of this size
have such complete plants as the Kie-
wei Brewing company, the remodelled
and enlarged plant having an annual
capacity of 40, 900 barrels. This is
sold in a wide territory throughout the
state.
The Giant Grip Horse Shoe COM
pany IS a newer establishment, manu-
facuring a drop forged horse shoe with
drop forged patent steel calks, and
these are also shipped to all parts OF
the country, the plant being kept busy
! to keep place with the demand.
The Little Falls Iron Works, doing a
general foundry, machine and repair
business and a new departure has
recently been added in a patent pump
attachment whereby a windmill may
be disconnected and the pump handle
attached by a single simple motion
and easily accomplished by any child,
the windmill being again attached
with equal ease.
Started very recently In a COM
parative]y small way but experlenc
ing phenomenal growth is the
Northland Shoe company. This com.
pany is engaged in turning out a
high grade work shoe and while only
ten men are employed at present
indications point to the rapid
increase in that number and the
rapid growth of the company's opera
tions. Local capital is behind the
! venture and the management in the
hands OF conservative, yet progressive
business men.
Upwards OF a half million pounds OF

Falls and Beaver Dam Creameries
which are operated here, the two
institutions contributing IN no small
degree to the general prosperity OF our
farmers, paying the highest cash price
tor cream and selling in all the lead
ing markets.
Two brick yards having an annual
capacity OF 4. 600, 900 each are operated
a very short distance from Little Falls
with great success.
Then there are four cigar factories,
a granite and marble works and othel
industries of minor character, the
aggregate making a splendid showing
for a city the size of Little Falls but
with the finest kind of opening fol
many more, the success of which is
fully assured.
F. P. Reed recently started a glove
factory here and new machinery has
been added, the plant being rushed tc
meet the demand.
With conditions so generally favor
able this should be a city of from
90. 900 to Is, 900 people within the mex,
ten years. Living is cheap, making
this an ideal home for the laborlng
man, and if any manufacturer Is
struggling along elsewhere against
heavy odds and will Investigate Little
Falls and the many possibilities fol
lettering his conditl ons which are
offered here 1T is a foreg0ne conclusion
that this plant will be numbered
! among the many successful establish
ments of their kind n which have
made Little Falls for a home.
