Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1900 — Sugar Factory Not Coining. [ARTICLE]

Sugar Factory Not Coining.

It is now stated that the big beetsugar plant, projected at North Jndson, at a cost of $500,000, will not soon materialize. Information lately received, indicates thaVthe New’ England Sugar Beet company, which proposed erecting the factory, suffered a heavy loss in a recent Boston bank failure, and this explains the reluctance of the company for the investment at this particular time. This information, if true will know a great disappointment to the people of North Judson and Stark county generally, and also in the north townships of this county, where soores of farmers, and others had agreed to raise beets for the factory.
