Still Considering Milk
COndensery At Malta

Having not heard fromsthe In
diana Condensed Milk company,
which considered Malta location,
some months ago, for a new plant.
Atty r. M. Winegardner wrote to
that concern under date of Nov. IL,
which the condensery company an
swered almost Immediately. From
the tone of the letter it is seen that
they are still considering Malta for
the location of the plant The let
ter which explains itself, follows:
Mr.. R. M. Winegardner,
McConnelsville, Ohio.
Dear Sir:-We were very much
pleased to receive your letter of the
18th, and we confess that we have
thought many times of the Malta To-
cation, but about the time we would
get to thinking seriously, something
would happen in the business world
that made us feel rather Indifferent
toward expansion of any kind for
the time being.
AS to what might be considered
and definitely acted upon in the
near future, am unable to advise.
You may rest assured, however,
that we will not locate in another
territory than yours without first
taking the matter up with you
again.
We will ask you to please men
tion our company to the many very
good men whom we had the pleas
ure of meeting while in Malta, and
tell them that we look forward to
saying "hello" to them again some
day even though we may never
have plant in that locality. Per-
sonally, / was very much impressed
with the many businessmen we met
there, and with your possibilities Of
developing fine dairy section
which 1 am sure would be the best
thing that might possibly be
brought to your section as the coun-
try is certainly adapted to dairy
ing; and I believe same would do
more for business in general than
anything that you would bring to
your city even if it was some much
larger manufacturing proposition.
Thank you very much for your
letter, and we hope to hear from
you again.-Yours very truly, In
diana Condensed Milk Company. A.
r. Kennedy.

cuse, N. Y, former resident of this

eral manager of the John Deere
Plow company, favored this office
Wednesday with pleasant call. Mr..

pany for number of years.
After travelling extensively all
over the country, Mr.. Choguill says
that the Muskingum valley is one
of the most scenic and attractive
places he has ever visited; and he
feels that we should make special
effort to develop the tourist busi-
ness. During his brief office call
here, the writer asked him what he
thought of new court house here,
and he quickly replied that to
change it would seem to him like
sacrilege; that they could not i'm
prove upon its architectural style.
Mr.. Choguill keeps closely in
formed on what takes place in Nor
gan county. through the two local
papers-and speaking Of the papers
he said that of the many similar
papers coming to his office, none
begin to compare with the papers
here.
