Tl ere are but lew persons who have the least idea of the amount of money spent to keep the factory and to make tho Improvement)) ueedsd During the pnst two summers, there hub been Hpent for improvements the sum of 0I0 000. This amount addtd to the fiist cost gives something more than one million dollars. It is strange to any, yet, theie are many people who think thut no improvements nro mutiu excepi Willi ihe money which is received as profit from tho workings of tho factory. Hut that is a vory trionioiiH idea. It will take many years before thu amount spent in improvements will be returned Into profit, to say nothing about the first cost of tho fuctoi. |
