MORE TALK ABOUT
A LACE FACTORY

Henry Stevenson, of Liberty, for 20
years manufacturer Of lace in Eu.
rope and America, was in Salem this
morning and discussed the prospects
for the establishment Of lace factory
in this city. He spoke to the board Of
governors Of the Salem Commercial
club last night concerning the proposi.
ton and has since been celebrating
and completing plans showing that such
an institution could be profitably
erected here,
"lhere is no other factory on the
cOUst," said Mr. Stevenson, "and the
opportunity for securing an establish
ment of this kind at this time is good.
The lace industry, if located here,
would bring into Salem hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars Of outside money.
The market on the coast Is excellent,
as this pnrt Of the country Glonc con.
sumes 100000 worth Of the fabric
that goes to make up such an important
part Of women y wear.
"With the plant that is proposed to
be erected here, at least 100000 worth
Of lace would be manufactured each
year, This product would be disposed
Of on the coast and so bring into Sa'
lem large amounts Of money.
"Raw material is only secured in
England. 1t will require at least $3.50,
900 TO establish the plant and give a
sufficient amount of running capital
The machinery alone costs $4,000
while, building and site will cost an.
other $4,000.
"During my experience in the lace
making business-20 years all together
"a in the United Stutcs-I have estub.
lishcd some Of the most successful
plants in America. / have experience
in all lines Of this interest from direct
ing u company to setting up the ma
chincry.
AT Elyria, Ohio, where lived be.
fore | come to run n prunc ranch in
Oregon, there Is plant that employs
from 40 TO 200 people all the ycat
round, running for 20 hours day. This
institution alone has payroll of 49,.
600 per month, or 100000 per year. II
can thus be readily secn that the es
tablishmcnt Of such m institution IN
Salem would mean for the growth and
development Of the city"
II was only few weeks ago that
the subject Of establishing q lace fac
tory here was brought to the attention
Of Mr.. Stevenson. He caught the idea
quickly and thinks there is no better
opportunity for landing the PROPOSE
ton here, If Salem will no; consider
II, he expects to 60 to Washington
state or California.
