Show ROPE WORKS FOR PKOVO. Another Industry to he Added to the Already Long List. Before long Provo will have another industry added to its list. Mr. John Richards has for some time past been preparing to start the business of rope-making, rope-making, and he has got things in order now, and has sent east for hemp and other material, s that ere long Provo and the surrounding country will have rope manufactured at home, instead of sending East for that article. This euterpri.se ought to be encouraged, encour-aged, as' a great deal of money is sent out of this territory for rope, sash cord, lath yarn, binder twine, and cordage, which can be manufactured manufac-tured right at home, and we believe at cheaper rates, at least as cheap, as can be procured in the East. Mr. Richards Rich-ards is ' an experienced rope-maker, and if the farmers can be induced to grow hemp, it would be a profitable inducement, as land planted with hemp makes good returns to the farmer; and it will make rope and binder twine cheaper than the Eastern article can be laid down here. |
