Hercules Co. to Stay in CenterviIIe
Centerville, May 13-It is a matter
of local pride that the city of Center
vile has taken all of the stock Of the
Hercules Manufacturing interests.
The $4,000 stock has gone above
paras there was several business men
that wanted from $500 to $1,000
stock and the committees tried to get
some Of the other stock holders. to
divide up, but all preferred to hold on
to their ammounts. The party that
wanted a $1,000 was compelled to be
satisfied with $500. The new build
ing will be credit to the city and to
the investors and a boost to Center
vile.
