WORK AT FACTORY
IS BEING RUSHED;
AN EARLY OPENING
CHARLES ID. REEVE, vICEPRES.
OF G. II. BRASS CO., TELLS
OF LOCAL PLANT

III Chas. ID. Reeve, vice-president OF
the Grand Rapids Brass company has
been in the city arranging for the
opening of the new branch factory
here. During on interview with him
Tuesday Mr.. Reeve said: "The best
shipment of machinery for the new
plant arrived today. Within ten days
Il will all be coming and we expect to
start within a very short time. Our
Grand Rapids plant is rushed with
orders and we need the work quick.
Had the building here been built es-
pecially for US it could not have been
better planned. 1t is just what we
wanted in every way.
ave are installing ten furnaces in
the foundry room. We will have a
foundry, machine, plating, polishing
and other departments. The plant
here will be almost duplicate of our
Grand Rapids plant, where 275 men
are employed. We will start with
about 40 or so men, mostly skilled
labor. Our capacity will be much
greater. We want TO employ all the
local help we can use. The Grand
Rapids Brass company branch will
increase the population of Belding
considerable. Our general foreman,
Mr.. Uphold, who will be here soon,
has four children. Our Office manager
will be Earl Nicklin.
.sThe company is we'll satisfied with
the arrangements here and we are
going to do this city all the good we
can"
Beyond question this city is for
tunate in securing this strong COM
pany among its manufacturing enter,
prizes. The class of labor employed
brings fine citizens to the city, and
they are paid liberal wages. The
plant will evidently be running within
three or four weeks. Several changes
are being made in the arrangement
of the partitions in the building.

FORMER BELD|NG
BOY MEETING WITH
SUCCESS IN WEST
w. 3. CRAWFORD, GRADUATE OF
BELDING SCHOOLS, is WELL
LIKED IN EAST ST. LOUIS

In its issue Of Demember %, 1915.
the East st. Louis Evening Sun.
which was booster edition for that
city contained an interesting article
concerning former Belding boy and
graduate of the Belding high school.
IL is in regard to w. b. Crawford.
Who will be remembered by many
citizens. of Belding today Here is
the article: -
All of the good men are not born
IN East st. Louis, as is attested by
the fact that w. B. Crawford. our
Eighth Ward Alderman, was born in
Greenville, Michigan. This import
ant happening occurred on the 21st
day of March, 1865. Mr.. Crawford
attended the public schools and grad
uated from the Belding, Michigan
high school in 1884. Shortly after
graduation, he began teachings school
and continued doing so until 1889. In
August Of that year he was fortunate
enough to have Miss Effie Curtis be-
come his bride. Shortly after his
marriage, he and his wife were en-
ployed at the State School for Boys
IN Lansing, Michigan, and they re-
mained there seven years. They then
went to the State School for Boys at
Eldorado, Iowa, and were there three
years. In 1899 he resigned in order
to become storekeeper for Swift and
company in East st. Louis. He con-
tinued in that capacity until 1909, at
which time he organized and estab-
lished the Crawford and Stacer Com
pany, dealers in ice, coal and build
ing material. Mr. Crawford is a
staunch Republican and takes an ac-
tive interest in politics. He is now
serving his second term as Alderman
from the eighth ward and has render
ed splendid and intelligent service.
He is a member of the Masonic frat
ernity, the Knights of Pythias and
the National Americans. 1t is a toss
up as to which he enjoys more-a
good baseball game or days fishing
trip. Baseball must have the edge as
he has team of his own in the field
every season-the Crawford and
Stacers," one of the most able anna
teur teams in this vicinity

school work.
The resolutions laying down the
conditions for the granting of letters
follows:

the capital "B." This letter shall be
the official letter of the High School
Athletic Association and shall only

which allow them to participate in
atheletic contests.

tions for granting of same shall be as
follows: The football letter shall be
