MATCH FACTORY SURE THING; CONTRACT SIGNED SATURDAY

Commercial Club Lands Enterprise That Should Prove Great Thing for Rensselaer.

IT MAY BRING OTHERS Big Plant to Be Built Right Away and Ready to Begin Operations by First of January! The Rensselaer Commercial Club has landed a big factory for Rensselaer and one that should prove a great boon to the city. A few months ago the United States Match Co., located at Elkhart, was destroyed by fire. Th® president of the concern, Mr. Willard W. Sterling, determined to rebuild in a different locality, and investigated a number of cities, with a view of securing aid in the building of the factory. The gentlemen at head of the concern came to Rensselaer and negotiations have been pending for about a month. Saturday the contract appended hereto was signed and the factory is a sure thing. Mr. Sterling, stated that a car load of material with which to start the construction will be shipped here within a few days. The factory will occupy a part of the commercial addition. It Is expected to have the plant ready to begin operation by the first of the year. The city council at a special meeting called for Saturday afternoon practically agreed to extend the water mains to the factory. The superintendent estimates that this will cost about $3,800. The plant will give labor to a number of people, probably about one hundred to start. A number of expert hands will be brought here from Elkhart and a number here will also doubtless procure work in ths factory. Mr. Sterling and the gentlemen associated with him are great hustlers and if they are successful in their enterprise here, as they are quite certain to be, they will probably be instrumental in locating other factories in Rensselaer. The contract as finally agreed upon between the factory people and the Commercial Club follows; This article of agreement, made and entered into this seventeenth day of June. 1911, by and between the Commercial Club of Rensselaer, Indiana, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the state of Indiana, first party, and The United States Match Company, a corporation duly organized and existing ,under the laws of the state of Indiana, second party, witnesseth; That, whereas, said first party is a commercial club organized for the purpose of promoting the growth and industry of the city of Rensselaer, Indiana, and is desirous of locating factories in said pity, and now own in fee simple, free of incumbrance, the following described real estate situated in Jasper County, in the state of Indiana, to-wlt: Commencing at the southwest corner of section twenty (20), in township twenty-nine (29) north, range six (6) west, and running from thence north 825 % feet to the south bounds of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railroad; thence east on the south bounds of said* railroad 2627 feet to the east line as the southwest quarter of said section; thence south on the said line a distance of 823 feet; thence west on the south line of said section a distance of 2624*4 feet to the place of beginning, containing 49.77 acres.
