MATTRESS FACTORY
READY TO REOPEN
Infant Industry that Burned Re-
Gently to Start Soon
MANY INDUSTRIES HERE
Leader Will Run Series of Stor-
les of City's Businesses

(! The Fitzgerald Mattress Factory,
/! owned and operated by James B.
! Deniston, Fitzgera1d's, blind business
man, is ready to reopen for business
, as soon as electric power connections
can be made in the new plant Or
| ders now on the books will be filled
then.
The mattress factory was destroyed
by fire some time ago. Ali finished
goods and materials on hand were
destroyed and all the machinery bad
1y damaged, Unfeazed by the catas-
trophe Mr.. Deniston moved the
wreckage into a new location and
stated today that his plan had been
ready to operate again for some time
and would reopen as soon as the
electric power connections are made.
The Fitzgerald Mattress Factory is
one of Fitzgerald's infant industries
on whose growth and development
depends the industrial and CONNER
cial future of Fitzgerald. Although
it is small, its pay roll not exceeding
$40 week at the briskest seasons,
it is a nucleus for a. big industry
contributing largely to the wealth of
the city.
Fitzgerald has number of Infant
industries" which can be developed
into great ones if the interest of all
those who will be benefited is
aroused in these "lsttle fellows" If
Fitzgerald is ever to be anything
better than small city as it is today,
these industries must be developed.
In the interest of Greater Fitz-
gerald" the Leader will soon begin a
new series of stories about business
! concerns that help to make Fitzger-
aid. A series of that kind three years
ago was very effective in introducing
Fitzgerald as a whole to its many
component parts. The series was not
complete because the writer had to
! lCtul IL " SOllCSC DCfOlC II WAS GULF
pleted. Plans for the new series of
booster stories are being made and
the schedule in which they are to run
is being arranged If possible each
/ story will be illustrated with pic
! lures of the establishment and its per-
sonnell. The stories will have in view
a purpose of really introducing to
Leader readers a number of very in
i teresting things about people with
, whom they have only a superficial
acquaintance and of giving Lead>
readers a better idea of what Fitzger-
aid has in the way of markings" for
a great city.
The Fitzgerald Mattress Factory
will probably be one of the first in
| dustries described.
