Assured for City.

That Perth Amboy Is much de-
sired for manufacturing purposes
has again been proved by the fact
that another industry is about to be
centered here. M. L. Erdmann &
Company, printing ink manufactur-
ers, of Brooklyn, have practically de-
cided to locate here and erect a
plant for manufacturing their pro-
ducts. The Board of Trade has
learned that the Erdmann concern
favored this city above number of
other locations and is making strong
endeavors to encourage 1t to come
here.
M. L. Erdmann & Company are

are desirous of getting started here
at the earliest possible date and
would like to be prepared to begin
the construction or a plant within

up and things looked discourag-

crop of over 300 acres, for a span
of mules. He and Clarence Faris
we're one day talking over the
outlook and during the conversa-
ton Clarence said he would
trade his span of mules for the
wheat. The words were no
sooner spoken than the disheart-
ened party led the mules away
and Clarence walked h m e.
Last week, in speaking of the
trade Clarence stated that 200
acres would make 20 bushels per
acre, which not counting what
the rest of the tract will produce
would make 1000 bushel and all
for a span of mules worth not
over $375. But you can't always
