IRON PLANT
SEEMS ASSURED
Chamber of Commerce Sees
Success in Negotiations
for Foundry and Ma
chine Shop

The location of an important iron
works plant in Baxter Springs ut IN
early date seems now certain. Acting
through the Chamber of Commerce
this proposition has been pending for
approximately month. Nothing has
appeared in the newspapers thus far
because it was thought better to have
the deal we'll in hand before any pub
lie announcement was made. 1t can
be said now, however, that the deal
has advanced to such an extent that it
can be announced as completed pro-
vided the plant which is to be
brought to Baxter Springs stands the
investigation that is to be made by the
local men who are making it possible
for it to come. Every indication is,
however, that it will stand such an
investigation, for one business man of
this city, at the request of the Cham
Der of Commerce, has investigated the
plant and reported favorably.
The site for the plant has also been
discussed and practically decided. If
this deal is closed, it will give site
than which there is none better. This
portion of the deal has gone as far
as il is possible, pending the investi-
cation to be made by the local COM
mittee of the plant itself. 1t can be
announced also that fully seventy-five
per cent of the plant will be in the
hands Of local business and mining
men, not in the shape of stock prop
osition but of business investment.
Those, who have gone into the pro-
ject thus far, are greatly pleased
with the project thus far, are greatly
pleased with it.
It is sufficient to say that the plant
will have no superior in this entire
mining district and will be one that
the citizens of Baxter and the oper-
ators in this field can depend fully.
The local committee, which is making
it possible for the plant to come to
Baxter, includes j. w. Barnes, ]. o.
Goodwin, L. L. Cardin, w. B. Waugh,
A. L. Harvey, Claire Youse, Wesley
M. Smith, Reese ]. Jones, ]. c. Willis,
w. T. Apple and o. B. DuttOn.
