Efforts Being Made to Locate Novelty
Factory in Town.

An effort is being made here to locate
a novelty factory, several of the mem
bers of the Board of Trade taking steps
to raise the money for an inducement for
them to locate here. Mr.. Palmer, who
for years has conducted a business of
this nature in Warren, had the misfor-
tune to lose his building by fire and he
would like to come here and form part
nership with Mr. Lewis, who now works
at the foundry, if arrangements can be
made that are satisfactory TO all parties.
A building is required and some money
for an equipment, all amounting to about
$500 The committee in charge has
been investigating several buildings
among which is the old steam laundry
building near the upper School street
crossing. The committee has the refusal
of this building and it will be decided this
week as to the building and the accep-
lance of the offer. If definite arrange
ments are made the work viii begin soon,
and it is understood that the company
has orders sufficient to keep it employed
for some time. About dozen hands will
be employed at first and the force may
be larger.
