dalton.
At a recent meeting of the board
of directors of the Commercial Club,
the following communication was
transmitted:
ITO Whom it may Concern:
"Realizing that the substantial
growth of a city depends upon it's
industries, its factories and its work
shops: lat every smokestack that
;, rises in a city adds to its wealth, and
that every property-owner, every
business and professional man, every
>. citizen-indeed, every stranger
within it's gates, is benefited directly
or indirectly thereby, we are glad to
welcome all legitimate enterprises
) as a substantial benefit to this city.
we have carefully scrutinized the
Dakota -.etal Granary Company, an
organization Of progressive business
men, and we heartily endorse the or
ganization and the, enterprise as one
most desirable for the city of Nit

While it is apparent to every bust
ness man that the location of this
factory in Mitchell will be of mater
ial benefit to every merchant, every
business man, and every property
owner in the community, yet the com
ipany is not asking for any bonus
from the city as an inducement to To-
cate its works here. but has launched
the enterprise strictly upon it's merits
as a sound business proposition.
Factories bring to a city a very de-
'sirable class of citizens. They must
be housed adding to the value of city
residence property. Being wage-earn-
-jers. they naturally make their nee
essary purchases in the city where
they are employed, thus benefitting
directly all lines of business.
I! The Dakota Metal Granary Com
pany is a home enterprise for home
people. 1t is a stock company, or
ganized along cooperative lines, and
its stock is intended for home invest
Iors. With the endorsement Of the
Commercial Club and of local bank
ers, they have decided to offer shares
in the company to local investors.
The stock is offered strictly on it's
merits as a business proposition. With
the great financial success of similar
! enterprises in other cities to point
