LOOKS BRIGHT

Committee of Six Appointed to Solicit

Subscriptions and Report at the

Next Meeting Friday Night.

That there is deep interest in the factory proposition is evident from the number of men that attended the meeting Tuesday night at court house which was called by the Commercial Club for the purpose of laying before the people the proposition of a reliable factory to locate in this city. It was not expected by the Club to raise the money required at this meeting because for good reasons the proposition had not been explained through the newspaper. Sometimes too much publicity of a matter of this kind is not best.

The president of the club, James F. Reed, called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock and in a talk of fifteen minutes laid before the people the proposal of the company. The factory has been established in a large city for twenty-five years and has a branch factory in an Indiana city. For good reasons the company expects to move its city plant to a country town and on invitation of the Commercial Club 3h member of the company visited Greenfield last week and was well pleased with the conditions here. So well pleased that he agreed with the Olub that if $30,000 and a site for the factory is contributed the two factories would be removed to Greenfield at once. A committee consisting of James Thomas, Dr. John Moore and Charles E. Vaughn, went to this city and investigated the factory. Last night the committee reported what it saw and learned. At the time of the visit of these men 300 persons were at work in the factory at an average wage of more than ten dollars per week, about forty per cent of the employes were women and girls. The banks reported the company strictly reliable, without debts and with first class credit. The members of the committee were therefore high in their commendation of the company.

It was shown Tuesday night that with the investment the company is bound to make, nearly §150,000, the taxes in ten years paid into this county will amount to practically as much as is asked. It would bring at faulted, the least calculation 200 new families to Greenfield. Mr. F. A. Meek, the secretary of the Club, submitted statistics compiled from the Bureau of Labor that show the expenditures of a factory family of four for the necessities of life to be close to $800 a year, or $160,000 for 200 families. All of this would be spent in Greenfield. Mr. Meek went further into the statistics and showed what would be the profits to dealers, business and professional men and the increase in real estate and rental values.

Clint Parker, who has subscribed $1,000 to the fund, made the longest speech of the evening and said although his firm, from the nature of its business, would naturally profit less from an industry than any other, was nevertheless ready to expend that sum of money for the advertising value of the factory, particularly as an agreement is to be made whereby the entire factory and investment of the company goes to the people of the city if the factory is not operated ten years and at least 300 persons employed all that time. He reminded the people of the enterprise of the nearby cities and what they had accomplished.

James Thomas spoke to the point. He said he was looking to the future and not into the past that he was not working now for himself, and that if he was he would quit. Mr. Thomas said he was willing to give his time to -the success of the movement and urged others to do likwise.

C. M. Curry gave a valuable talk on the advantages of the factory and the -importance of prompt work. He said 1 he was willing to do everything in his power to forward the movement and ..(contribute every dollar that he possi'."bly could. He said further that he -was favorably impressed with a suggestion of the dollar button in The

Daily Reporter. Dr. John Moore spoke of the good standing of the men who compose the company proposing to locate here, And of his observations at the factory

Mr. Meek, secretary, reported that ihe was all but assured of five men in ^Greenfield who would give $1,000 each and twenty that will subscribe $500 .each.

Subscriptions were reported as iollows: Clint

Parker, $1,000

HAPPIEST UID III OREGON STATE

Greenfield Young Man Had Home

Ready for Mother and Sister

When They Arrived.

Mrs. C. B. Whetzel, who with her daughter, Miss Margaret, recently went to Portland, Oregon, where her son Paul has been located for several months, writes home that "Paul was the happiest man on earth" when they were settled to the flat that he had furnished and awaiting their arrival. He had every conceivable necessity for housekeeping in readiness and was not sparing in luxuries.

The morning after their arrival Mrs. Whetzel was introduced into a well appointed kitchen, where she prepared biscuits for the son "like mother used to make." Letters say the family is in love with the Oregon country and the city of Portland and urge Mr. Whetzel to "packup" as soon as possible and join them on the Pacific.

Paul Whetzel was reared in Greenfield, industrious and honorable always, beginning to learn his way as a newsboy, and always keeping "his nose in the spacebox," as a printer would say. He was in the Crescent Pharmacy for a number of years, and until he concluded to "Go West," a few months ago.

No young man stands higher in Greenfield than Paul Whetzel and his friends will be pleased to know he is happily located in the progressive city on the Willamette.
