MOLINE

New Elevator Plant Here. A E.
Montgomery, secretary and treasurer
Of the Moline Elevator company, is
planning TO again take up the manufac-
ture of elevators. He has leased
building at Third avenue and TWEEN
tieth street, recently completed by the
Moline Tool company. where first WORK
in the new project will be started.
Life on the lease on the building is
one year and first steps will be the
manufacture of patterns. Tools will
be purchased and work will be started
not later than July 1. The building is
90 feet square and affords ample floor
space for this preliminary work The
plan that Mr.. Montgomery has in
mind is to place stock on the market
and incorporate company with cap
italigation Of $4,000 to 100000 In
about 60 days the stock viii be offer
ed for sale to the moneyed men of the
three cities. A number already have
signified their desire to subscribe for
stock. At the time the stock is placed
have reached the stage where tools,
patterns, ETC., will be turned over by
Mr.. Montgomery as so much cash.
When stock has been all subscribed
site of seven to ten acres will be pur-
chased and factory building will be
erected. East Moline has held out in
ducements that are very favorable.
One thing is certain, the plant will not
be established outside this Immediate
vicinity. Enough ground will be pur-
chased to allow expansion as the bus
mess grows. The factory building will
be modern in every respect and will be
equipped with improved tools and ma
chinery for the manufacture of strictly
first class elevators. Output Of the
plant will be limited only by demand.
Picnic Association to Disband?-It is
possible that the picnic at the Watch
Tower July 20 will be the last one
given by the Six-County Odd Fellow
Picnic association. Local members of
the Odd Fellow order predict that the
association will disband after the out
ing scheduled for next week. Trouble |
has been brewing, says one of the !
members, due to the faca that certain !
lodges failed to bear the expense of |
the picnic held last summer This |
caused dissatisfaction and resulted in |
withdrawal of lodges from the asso-
citation. Some of the lodges which |
withdrew have launched the Tri-City |
Picnic association which was scheduled |
TO hold its annual picnic the same date |
as the six-county association. The |
association has been forced to |
change its date to Tuesday, July 49, |
The Red Men have leased the House
for the 20th when they |
will hold dancing party. They were
willing to surrender the date, but felt
that they could not do so as their print
ing, announcing the party, has been
issued. The result was the Odd Eel
lows chose the 18th.
