TALK OF A CANNING FACTORY

Chicago Parties Trying to Locate Industry Here. Two Chicago gentlemen, J. A. Brent and H. M. Snow, were in Rensselaer last week with a proposition to locate a canning factory in Rensselaer, provided sufficient local support could be obtained. These gentlemen were representing the Hastings Industrial company which specializes in locating factories and selling the machinery to operate the same. They also ask that a certain * acreage of land *in the vicinity be pledged to the cultivation of the produce needed by the factory.
