FENNIMORE
Cheese Box Factory


village, is negotiating for the build
ing used by David Rule as an ice house
during the past season. 1t is along
side the G.. & n. w. Ry. tracks and
well situated for the shipment of the
finished product. They expect to bring
the veneering, bottoms and sides here
from Wauzeka where the raw material
is manufactured and complete the OPP
GRAFTON here from it's knocked down"
state. It will mean more business for
Fennimore and furnish additional en-
ployment for several men if the deal
can be completed. Several trucks
daily from the Doll factory at Wau-

territory for distribution. Let us hope
that the proposed factory will become
reality in the near future.
