GARMENT FACTORY CLOSED TEMPORARILY

The Rensselaer Garment Factory at the corner of Van Rensselaer mid Cornelia street, was closed this Saturday evening temporarily. This factory has been in operation for the past four years by A. Roth of Chicago. It baa employed a large number of girls and women and has been of the greatest benefit to the people of this city. The wages paid have been fairly remunerative, but, Mr. Roth has never been quite satisfied with the production. Miss Agnes Braun, who was the cutter and has been in charge for a year and seven months, returned to Chicago, which is her home, Sat. urday evening. She will be. employed in the Roth Chicago factory which has been greatly enlarged. It is possible the factory here will be re-opened in the near future. Those who Imre been connected with the factory speak in the highest terms both of Miss Braun and Mr. Roth.
