HELD A BIG FEED AT THE CLUB
LAST TUESDAY EVENING
VISITORS SEEKING MILL SITE
We're Told Of The Advantages OF
Crystal Falls And Are Consider
ing The Offer Made

Crystal Falls Busines men held
one OF the most enthusiastic get-to-
gether feeds at the club rooms last
Tuesday evening that has been held
In Crystal Falls in It's history. The
reason for the gathering was the Wis
il here OF representatives OF shoe
last concern that is looking for a site
and has decided 10 locate in these
parts.
The gentlemen had been at Iron
River for a week investigating the
resources OF that community and
looking over the field there TO see
what the opportunities were to get
a site.
They were not conhning themselves
TO any one locality as II Is UNDER
stood that they had looked over Iron
Mountain and had practically decid-
ed 10 locate htere until the Ford move
ment came along and then the people
OF Iron Mount'n lost sight OF the shoe
last men entirely in their enthusiasm
over the larger proposition. This
change upset the last mems calcu-
larions with the result that they
decided 10 look over other places ana
are now rather pleased that they
changed their mind as they find much
better opportunities closer to timber
belts.
WIN Employ 75 Men
The factory employs rs to 100 men
and uses four million feet OF maple
each year. The maple is cut into rougn
last blocks and dried at the block rae
tory. then SHIPPED TO the finishihs
plants which are located in Miiwah-
ee. Chicago and st. Louis.
The business is clean one ana
steady one and would greatly aid the
community should It be located mere
The interests seeking the site ex-
meet 10 invest s125,OOo in factory
and drying plant and want to get AZ
work right away so that they may %
able 10 get in on next winters ios
crop.
while the shoe business is dull Just
now those in the trade expect that y
will be brisk this fall and as II taxes
n long time to get finished ana poi-
ished last from log, the last men
must get going soon II they are =
ba in when the business comes a
long. 49,
THE neople are asking no bonus nor
financial aid OF any kind, simply 'he
co-oneration OF the people OF the COM
mun,t,es they visit and this co-opera'-
ION crystal Falls gave them as iar as
they we're able.
