PASS UP THE PROPOSITION
FROM CLEVELAND PARTIES

Mention has been made in this
paper that parties from Cleveland
were considering moving their bus
mess here for the manufacturing of
cordage, and some other products.
After some negotiations through
Chas. Archer of Pennsville with this
company, known as the Fullburt
Co, five of their representatives
came down Monday to look the sit
uatiOn over. In company with Mr..
Archer they called on the business
firms Of the two towns during the
day, and arranged for a meeting in
the evening which was held in the
court room and was well attended.
The five men were G. D. Clewes, F.
H. Parker. W. H. Fullington, M. w.
Pyle and l. F. Burton. At tne
meeting it was learned that they
had five different articles to be man
ufactured; that they wanted to To-
cate in some small place where the
overhead expense was much less
than in large cities. They had with
them samples of their products
which included multipleX tool
threader, rope machine, tap
guide, and a cream beater. These
things they demonstrated. They
also stated that they would include
in a business the manufacturing of
adjustable prayer rails, the factory
Of which was recently burned out in
Cleveland After an explanation OF
their goods, committee of ten
business men selected from the two
towns was appointed to meet the
five named men Tuesday morning
and hear their proposition.
At the meeting it was learned
that there really was no factory in
Notwithstanding more than an
experimental shop, also that with
the exception of Mr.. Fullington who
had developed several patents, the
other four men constituted a saics
organization. To briefly sum up
their proposition they wanted the
people here to manufacture their
goods, put up the factory, and take
business control of it, they to have
practically the control OF the OUT
put. While they would not sell the
patent rights outright, they would
give the factory the control of them
here, for which control they would
ask about $4,000. This sum to-
gether with cost or factory equip
ping, and working capital it was es-
timated would mean about $50 900,
all to be raised here, and they to
have cash for the use of the patents.
After going into the proposition
thoroughly, the committee reported
to the Cleveland party that disap-
pointment was felt inasmuch as they
did not represent going concerh,
and the proposition did not appeal
as a practical one, so the committee
decided to go no further into the
matter at the present time. The
Mr. Pyle referred to as being one OF
the Cleveland parties, is son of
the late Will Pyle, former editor of
the Herald here, whose wife was a
MortIey. The committee and people
in general feel very grateful to Mc.
Archer for the interest he took in
the matter, in trying to bring busi-
ness to these towns.
