RUBBER MEN INSPECT
KNOX I. &R. PLANT

Foreign rubber men are beginning
to slip in and out of Mt. Vernon with
a regularity and sequence that Is be.
ginning to attract certain amount of
attention. There seems to be more
or less reason for a conviction that
these visits have something to do
with the plant of the Knox Tire 4
Rubber Co.
John Hotchkiss, general manager
of the Sebring Rubber Co., at Sebring,
g., was in Mt. Vernon Thursday and,
with Receiver French w. Severns,
made an inspection of the plant,
Neither Mr.. Hotchkiss nor Receiver
Sevcrns would say what his purposes
are, but in all probability it would be
wide of the mark to put down the oo-
ject of the visit as due simply to idle
curiosity
Slowly but none the less certainly a
conviction is gaining ground that
when the Knox Tire & Rubber Co
plant IL OHoreu Tor SalS, the StOck'
holders will suffer less of loss than
appeared probable at one time. 1t Is
understood that there have been some
calculations that when the plant Is
sold Il would bring figure some
where around 100000.
Lately there has been an upward
revision of the estimates and some
have been heard to express the con
fdent belief that the plant will brint
n figure in excess of 100000. The
visitors have not announced theil
coming with brass bands. nor have

Cutting Table Is Added

A number of girls have been added
to the working force at the Rich-Sam-

said today that an additional num-
ber will begin work next Monday. In
structions from the Cleveland office,
to Manager Jones, are to push produc.
tion to the limit in order to make up
the large amount of cloth on hand,
which is being made into mems coats.
At present the local factory is turn
ing out 25 dozens of mems coats ev.
cry day.
A new cutting table has been add
ed to the local plant and many OF the
machines that were idle have been
put into operation.
1t will require several weeks work
to complete the making of mems
coats. After this work Is done the en-
tire factory force will engage in max,
ing the company's line of bathing
suits for the 1922 season.
Manager Jones said that the COM
pany expected to make 500 dozens of
bathing suits each week at the local

Futiity OF Building Up False
Hopes On Offers To Buy
Knox 7. & R. Plant
MANY TALES CURRENT
TELLING OF OFFERS
Rival And Conflicting Inter.
ests At Work To Their
Own Interests

1t would be most unfortunate If, be-
cause of the gossip and reports in cir
culation anent the future of the Knox
Tire & Rubber Co. plant, the public
company should be given an impress
sion that when the plant Is sold, il
1t is, that will be found unwarranted
and unsupported by the actual facts.
All should be charry, then, of accept
ing completely and at face value now
such tales as may come to their hear
ing.
When or how soon the plant will be
sold. or how much it will bring in the
market, at the present time are un-
known quantities. Conflicting inter
ests are at work, some boosting and
some knocking, and all more or less
selfishly looking to their own inter
ests rather than those of the stock
holders who must bear the brunt of
the loss, II any.
At the present time such recitals
as may be heard should be accepted
as interesting but nothing more. 1t
should be borne always in mind that
the only offer that is binding upon the
bidder Is the one made in the bid at
the sale.
That numerous rubber men are WIS.,
iting Mt. Vernon and are visiting and
inspecting the plant with view later
to making bid for its purchase is
well known. Interesting tales are in
circulation touching upon the offers
that ultimately come from them.
Coming within the class against
which advice and warning against
building too high hopes applies is
| the following. The Banner has the
story upon good authority that recent
ly Receiver French w. Severns was
visited by an out.of.town rubber man
who with him Inspected the plant. AT
ter the inspection, according to oul
informant, the proposal was made
that Receiver Severns appoint two ap
praisers, the prospective bidder woult
appoint two others and the four woult
select fifth, a neutral man, the five
to make an appraisal of the property
the bidder binding himself to pa,
cash for the plant at the appraised
value. The Banners informant ex
pressed the conviction this fgur
would have been above 100000.
The unfortunate part, the hiatus, s,
to speak, In the matter Is that Receiv
er Severns at this time Is without au
thority to accept the proposal, whicl
explanation relegates the matter T.
the status of an interesting story an,
nothing more.
