FACTORY IN OPERATION
Need of Employees Is Imper-
alive to Endustry's Success
Work Is Interesting.

Operations at the Eagle River
Knitting Works are interesting
to the casual observer. This new
industry recently located here
promises in time to become an
asset of which the town NAV be
proud. At present the only
draw back which binders its more
rapid progress is the inability to
secure help. Seven machines are
now running, giving employ
ment to seven girls, but this is
far below the capacity of the
plant. Fifty girls could easily be
employed as the orders for knit
ted goods are greater than can
ever be filled by a small force.
In an interview with Emeil
Zwicker, proprietor of the plant,
it was stated that if help could
be obtained, machines would be
installed to ccommodate it.
There are over twenty machines
in place now. The main feature
upon which the success Of the
concern depends is the help. But
Mr.. Zwicker feels confident that
erelong he will secure more girls
to make the output of the plant
equal to it's capacity
At Appleton where Mr. Zwlclx
er has q large knitting factory
employing over fifty girls, the
same problem of securing help
was encountered in the knitting
business seven years ago. It's
successful growth there is an as
surance that before many weeks,
q full force of girls will be secur-
ed, so that the industry may
thrive and become a benefit to
the community.
The wages of the employees
depends entirely upon their abil-
itv, experienced hands getting
from $6 to 81 5Oor more week.
Mittens are the only goods being
knitted at present, the girls being
as vet inexperienced in the man
ipulation of the machines for
more intricate work, although
knitted goods of every descrip-
ton are turned out by the Apple
ton factory.
The growth Of the industry in
Eagle River will be a benefit to
the town With it's permanent
location other concerns will be
convinced to locate here, evertu-
ally bringing the town to that
state Of activity looked for by
every booster

templated.
It has been source of much
discussion with sons people
about the industries of Eagle
River. Some have been inclined
to talk lightly of them and their
effect on the town, and still
others have taken them in all
seriousness. with the view that
anything increasing the town s
activity also increases its wei
fare. The latter optimistic view
IS the one that a booster enter
tains and the one that will event
uallv put this town on the map.
Eagle River will NOT die out.
True it sprung up when the lum-
Der Industry was at its height,
and during that period of time,
had a spasnodic boom, common
10 all numbering towns. With
she decline of that industry. its
activity waned, until it seemed
decidedly dead to all those who
could not forsee the future which
laws In store for its inhabitants.
But in it's period OF decline it has
reached bed rock, and for the
past few years the upbuilding
tendency has been prominent.
People with the interest of Eagle
River at heart put faith in every
move that promises development
for the town. Such is the true
booster spirit.
But the big noise is to come in
che harvesting season of 1912 if
we can Judge of conversations
overheard from two of our local
boosters. These men, none other
than Louie Morgan and Art
Radcliffe, have q project iii mind
that will put in the shade all
past attempts to establish any
agricultural record. Through
out the long dreary winter
months they have been beseiging
the state and federal agricultur-
aldepartments for literature per-
tanning to bean culture, with the
object in view of planting several
acres of the nutritious food next
season, Undoubtedly there IS
money in it. The bean cultural
i<ts" have already decided upon
that important part of their ven
ture. and when their plans
materialize Eagle River Will be
noted AS the home Of the bean
magnates.
We give this Information to
the public because we are boost
ers. AS stated in a former para
graph we believe in individual
boosting to help the community;
to further the development of the
town and to advertise our agr1-
cultural resources. And while the
gentlemen in question may not
like having the product of their
imagination exploded to the
reading public at such a prcma-
ture stage Of the game, its pre-
sentation is wholly without
tyrudoe or malice afOrethOught;
solely for the welfare of the com
munity.

is chump;i if he raises check he
is q thief, then the law raises the

he is in politics he is q CRATER
