!. House Warming at Deans Factory.

I The Business Mems Association are making all arrangements for united "Hease Warming entertainment to 1 celebrate the opening of the Deans fac
 tory works, one of the most promising | manufacturing industries that have been added to the business prosperity of the city through the Associations s instrumentality.
 The Association relies on the busi- ness men, and young men especially, to give hearty and general response to this invitation to arouse public spir- 1t, that the members may thus be in- spired to sprosecute their assumed res- possibilities by the encouragement and sympathy manifested on this special occasion. It is useless to expect pub lic-spirited citizens to spend their time and money to advance the business prosperity of the city and to improve its general character, under intentional discouragements on the part of large part of the leading citizens who derive the. common benefit of what they are accomplishing at some cost and much trying labor.
 The proposed house-warmingo Is not to be tax in any sense on those in- vited, but to be agratification and plea-
 sureto every one. They will see fine new brick manufacturing establish ment, thoroughly fitted up, some of the machinery being of new and unique character. A competent expert from the works in Cleveland, where the ma chinery was made, will be present to explain everything in detail. It will be an educational ,lesson from which young and old cannot fail to profit.
 Later, the committee will give the program in full, which will include some other attractive features, so that the opening of the factory will be made a gala day to our citizens, and plea sure to MT. Dean, to meet the citizens among whom he has cast his fortune.
 The moving to this city of this large and substantial manufacturing concern because of it's various advantages as business center of large interests supe- rior shipping facilities, healthful and attractive surroundings, the best of schools and social advantages-js of itself of valuable importance.
 The starting up of this large business f.x.r ft,- dustries, has disclosed the great need of neat and pleasant cottages suitable for single families. Those who have al- ready moved in and are proposing 10 come here 10 live-and the number is not small-have found 1t difiicnlt to suit themselves in this respect. The Business Mems Association should ap- point a committie to attend to this matter of assisting these new people coming to abide with us, to find homes. They are strangers, and should have the welcome assistance that will glad den their hearts and make them feel they have come among a hospitable people. Great good can be done in this respect.
 What will be said and done at the proposed "house- 1" it is hoped will make 1t plain to citizens the i'm portance of the large work the Associa- tion has undertaken to do. It needs help, not money, but social help, to in- crease its activities and perform the needed services that are widening at every step taken. They will not be urged or coaxed. They will be made to see the importance of strengening the Association for not only the good of it's membership but the entire commu- nity.
