Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 December 1908 — Manufacturers to Visit Rensselaer. [ARTICLE]

Manufacturers to Visit Rensselaer.

The board of directors of the Commercial Club Friday evening listened to the favorable report of the committee that went to Chicago to look over the metal furniture factory, and unanimously decided to Invite the manufacturers >to come here to see the town. President Robinson wrote a letter to them and it is expected that one or both of the proprietors of the factory will come here within a few days.* The board thought it advisable not to close the option for a subdivision until after the factory representatives had been here, thinking they might possibly have some opinion as to the location of the factory and the subdivision. It is probable that Mr. Price will come here with the factory people and that he will also be consulted about the most salable of the subdivisions. Miss Grace Kelly won the great Jasper county bread contest, made from the Gem of the Valley flour, bought at the Chicago Bargain Store. Subscribe for the Dally Republican.
