Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 97, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 March 1910 — ANOTHER PROPOSITION. [ARTICLE]

ANOTHER PROPOSITION.

Made to Commercial Club Which Will Be Investigated. A committee of twelve representative citizens has been appointed by Pres. Worland of the Rensselaer Commercial Club to go to Chicago Mtonday to investigate a proposition of a company there who propose to come here, organize a new company and manufacture their output in Rensselaer. The proposition is for so much stock in the company to be taken by local parties, and no money subsidy is asked for, as we understanrh - The company manufactures a force pump, and its output is contracted for by a well known Chicago wholesale hardware house for sometime to come. If the proposition looks as well to the committee as it was represented by a representative of the company, it is likely stock will be taken here in the enterprise sufficient to insure its being a “go.”
