n. D. Loter gave talk to an at
tendance of twenty-five at the meet
ing of the Mems club held in G. A.
r. hall on lace question. He made a
good impression and convinced his
hearers Of the straightforwardness
of the project he is advancing.
Everything seems encouraging now
toward his locating in Mystic at the
Royal Linen mills building. He wants
to start a company The Mystic Lace
into 1000 shares of common stock at
800 par value and $50 shares Of
seven per cent, cumulative preferred
stock at 500. All stock to be fully
paid and nom assessable.N What Mr..
Loter wants to dispose of here is the
red stock, he himself to take the COM
mon stock in payment for the ma
chinery that he will install in the
mill, for which he is arranging to
Sherman. President Bucklin and
Benjamin III. Hewitt both gave very
interesting talks and spoke Of the fire.
quent visits of Mr.. Loter had made to
| Mystic in regard to the lace manufac-
ture. Mr.. Loter gave very interest
| ing talks and had samples of the lace
with him and also photographs of the
machinery which would be installed.
He stated he had a factory in Not
tingham, England where the lace was
made and could be readily shipped
here to be finished OF. He stated he
| had written several cities about the
proposition but as Mystic had all the
| facilities and also the mill that he
could readily settle here, he stated Mr.
Sherman has asked $500 down on
| the mill and the remainder a mort
gage Of $14,500. He wants at. least
$4,000 to start business here and this
amount would move several of the
large machines from England and he
would want $4,000 for a working CAPT.

had made the promise Of $1,000 worth
of stock and feels sure the rest will
easily come.
