Proposed Cement Factory

Prospects now are very bright
for WinslOw having a cement
factory in the near future Par
ties owning large beds of gypsum
a short distance west of town
are here this week looking over
tie local situation with a view
to aScertaining what will be the
better arrangement for handling
their raw material, The Santa
Fe, it is understood, has offered
what is considered very favor
able rate for the gypsum ship
ment between here and Los An
geles, and are now preparing
to put a spur track from their
main line to the property from
which the gypsum is to be taken,
but after talking with local cap
italists the owners of the beds
are now seriously considering
the proposition of starting ce-
ment factory at Winslow and
shipping it to the market.
Should this industry materialize
it will mean employment for a
large number of men with quite
an extensive pay roll, thereby
adding greatly to the business of
the town.
