Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 54, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1898 — For A Sugar Beet Factory. [ARTICLE]

For A Sugar Beet Factory.

B. F. Ferguson has been in correspondence for some time with the Sugar Beet Construction Company, of New York, and Judge Evans, and the treasurer of the company, set a day for coming here, last week, while they were visiting Indianapolis and other points in this state, with a view to locating factories. Circumstances however prevented their coming here this trip, but it is expected that they will be here before long. The location of a sugar beet factory would be a great thing for Jasper county. Mr. Ferguson has been working the matter up for some time and thinks plenty ..of eastern capital is ready to invest in the business wherever soil and other prospects are favorable.
