DOW|E'S DREAM
COME TRUE


70 most of the American people
to-day John Alexander Dowie is but
. memory. The world at large was
forced for time at least to ackrowl-
edge his transcendent commercial
genius. The establishment Of Zion
City. the immigration to it of fol-
lowers from all over the civilized
world, the founding of the lace indus
tries and other enterprises of ,nagni-
tude, in that colony, the blending of
civil and religious authority in way
which recalled the patriarcllal days of
old-all stamped Elijah the Second,
as Dowie called himself, as man
born once in century.
Dowie possessed the rare power of
converting his visions into realities.
In that industrial Utopia which he
established. there stands great
monument to his memory. For in
establishing the Zion Lace Industries
Dowie gave to this country new
industry.
AS late as 1900 this Beautiful prod
uct was considered monopoly of the
historic lace centers of Europe.
Today the plant is one of the largest
and most interesting textile industries
in America.
A wonderful development has taken
place in this factory during the past
three years. 1t has been thoroughly
feorganized. Out of chaos has been
made the most efficient plant of its
kind.
The plant covers nearly FIVE acres.
1t is $50 feet long and 2S+ feet wide,
two and three stories high; now en-
ploys about 700 people, and during
the past three years has operated all
, machines l9 hours daily, except Satur-
day. when the factory is closed at
p. m. for weekly half holiday.
The rapid growth of the Zion Lace
Industries has not equaled the re-
markable increase of the demand. The
product is constantly oversold.
The Zion Lace Industries is today
the life of the city of 5000 inhabitants
Many Of its most intelligent wage
earners are toiling with the satisfac-
ton of knowing they still have
chance to get back in that way, at
least a comfortable existence in re-
:urn for the fortunes they have lost.
So even if the founders work may
be said to have been unfinished, even
though he was crushed out Of the
minds of the people, great reality
has resulted from his dreams.
