SALzMANS INSTALL
MODERN DRY
CLEANING PLANT
WILL GIVE BELDING EVERY
POSSIBLE FACILITY TO BE
DESIRED BY PATRONS

A little better than four years age
the Salzman family arrived in oul
city, and started a tailoring business
over Chas. Stout's lunch room (now
owned by Dehns). They soon founo
that their business had grown toe
large for these premises, and moved
into the Lapham building, occupying
the whole store. Business kept in.

took one of the boys away for several
months.
Since January 1919 when the part
ner returned from Uncle Sans ser,
vice, the business has continued ia
grow, compelling the boys to add
more machinery to their workshop
This necessitated more room so they
rented store in the Holmes block.

ing machine and equipment, button
making business, besides other i'm
provements.
Realizing the need of a fully equip
ped and efficient dry cleaning plant.
TO take care of Belding and the sur
rounding cities, they finally decided
to build one, securing lot, south of
'SA~NN1 P0bbiiS 0P
building. as demanded by the state
fire regulations.
All machinery is of the latest inn
proved models, assuring the best work
and people of Belding and the sur
rounding districts will now be able
to get better work and better service
than with the old mehod of sending
out of town.
The Salzmans have always been
believers in "Belding Bigger and
Better" and their latest addition in
the form of an up-to-1date dry clean
ing plant proves that they continue
to do so.
Louis Salxman, brother Of Albert
and Herman, who arrived in Belding
on June 10th is also a practical work
man in all departments of the busi-
ness carried on by the other boys
here. He has decided to make Bel
ding his home. and he will associate
himself with the business.
We wish the BOYS good luck and
continued success, filling a long felt
want in this community.

FARMERS KEEP
WATCH OUT FOR
EUROPEAN BORER
COOPERATE WITH NJ. A. C
OFFICIALS IN ATTEMPT TO
ERADICATE PEST

A closce watch of Michigan corn
fields in order to detect possible signs
OF the ravages of European corn bor-
ers, dangerous pest imported to
this country within recent years, is
being kept by farmers over the state
according to the Entomology Depart
ment at M. "A. c., Lansing
No definite report of the corn bor-
ers has been made in the state as
vet, but the fact that they have been
found in New York, Mass, and Penn
sylvania shows that the destructive
worms have gained a foothold in the
country, and the possibility of their
showing up in Michigan is said to
demand the attention of all corn
growers. Wherever prevalent the
corn eborer is capable of practically
running the crop. and the promptest
measures would be necessary to stop
the spread of the worms if they made
start in the state.
Corn borers can be quite easily
detected at this time of the year,
says K. n. Petit, professor of en-
tomology at NJ. A. c.. "they work
IN the tassels now, causing the tas-
sells to break over, and showing sign
of the working of the borers at the
breaking points. 1t is comparatively
easy to look over fields from the
roads now, making careful inspec-
ton.
Fear that the borers may show up
in Michigan is based partly upon the
fact that shipments of broom corn
which are suspected o having
brought the borers to this country
between 1909 and 1912 were partly
distributed to broom factories at De-
troit, Bay City, Grand Rapids, Belding
Hillsdale, and Holland. In addition
there is danger from seed brought
into the state from eastern states
where borers have been found.
In the larvae stage the borers
work in all parts of the plant-roots
ears, and stalk, doing great damage.
Heavily infested fields have been
known to have as many as 300 bor-
ers in single stalk.
Michigan farmers should send
any suspicious signs Of the European
Corn Borer to the department of en-
tomology, NJ. A. c.. East Lansing.
Tin or metal boxes must be used in
shipping the borers, for they bore
out of wood or cardboard containers
quickly"

will do within the next few weeks
there will be no vacant factory build

While the loss of the bort force is
a matter TO be regretted, still it is
one which can not be helped iii any
way, as the bort people were looking
for a location on the railroad which
would give them a main line connec-

known at present. as given out ov
some Of the officials of the company

eventually having their entire plant
concentrated in the central and orig
inal plant at Flint. From this it will
become evident that no matter where
the outlying Dort plants are located
they will sometime remove from these
cities and be amalgamated with the
Flint factory.

asked what the success of the supper
