Prospect for Factory.

A factory proposition was discussed
by the men attending the meeting.
The condition of the concern from a
financial and mechanical standpoint
had been investigated by L. A. Ham
Ill, ]. D. Ecker and Charles Kirch,
representing the Industrial Associa-
ton, and the report made by these
gentlemen at the Friday evening
meeting was favorable. The opinion
OF those directors Of the Industrial
Association who had made an inves-
tigation was also favorable. In fact
those who spoke about the PROPOSE
ton expressed themselves as being OF
the belief that 1t was the best and
the safest one OF the many hundreds
that had come before the association.
The party investigating Keokuk
said he was impressed with the adj
vantages that Keokuk was able to
show over his present location and
they decided the matter SO far as he
was concerned. His factory Is not
large one but has great possibilities,
as the cement industry is growing
with remarkable rapidly all over tho
world The character of the man and
the men who operate the concern, the
condition OF the accounts, and the
kind OF machines built were all inves-
tigated and in each case favorable
reports made.
If the Keokuk factory is started 1t
will be located in the old Anderson
canning factory building which is
suitable for the purpose. The manu-
facturer is at present buying some
parts OF his machine but with
stronger concern he purposes to build
and assemble all of his machines
here. At present his factory employees
twenty-five men but he was confident
that within two years the keokuk
plant would be giving employment to
ninety men. The growth of the ce-
ment business came in for discussion
and Mr.. Griffey made the statement
that his firm now each year sold as
much cement as the total output was
twenty years ago. Mr.. Joyce also
gave some ideas as to the growth OF
the cement business

OF the meeting being to discuss fac
tories projects and to get closer to-

the city by those who contemplate
relocating or establishing entirely rev
plants. With the power ready for dis
tribution and the rate cases settled
favorably to this city the effort of the
community should and will be CEN
tralized on getting new industries and
with the Keokuk people pulling one
way their efforts will be successful.
Get-together Spirit.
Mr.. L. A. Hamill, who was chair
man of the meeting, said that while
this particular meeting was for the
purpose of discussing factory propo-
sitions 1t had an additional and far
more important purpose-that of get
ting together in movement that
would result in the business men of
Keokuk pulling one way His idea
was to hold monthly dinner and dis
cuss matters affecting vitality the flu
ture of the city. He had felt for
long time the need of such move
ment for the betterment of Keokuk.
He wanted united instead Of indie.
pendent action and felt that it was
the only way in which the success of
the city could be accomplished.
Mr.. Hamill has been a persistent
and consistent worker along tho get
together lines and Their, Is no doubt
but what he has the right plan. 1t
should be supported and put into eff
fective operation
1t was apparent that those present
recognized the need of closer action
and as a result of Friday nights discus
sion 1t is almost certain monthly
meeting will be held when general
discussions will take place from which
much good will result to this city.
