Show lm THE BEAVER WOOLEN MILLS I The Beaver Woolen Mills are mak- ing rapid progress on their buildings B and installation of machinery, etc. 1 They are hastening preparation:; to I help clothe our soldier boys and win this terrible war. This is a home Industry In-dustry of which we should all be proud and one that should be fostered foster-ed as being an important link in our big sheep industry, which is rapidly becoming the most important single industry in the southern part of the State. The company Is incorporated for $65,000 and after the buildings and machinery were paid for, there remains a working capitl of $45,0uu to be used for the purchase of wooi, pelts, etc. The sheep men of this ' southern part of the State should buy stock in this company and thur. assist themselves to a ready market for their pelts, and keep all the money at home This is an industry which deserves the support of the sheep men, as it is to them that the most benefit will come, providing a ready cash market for their wool and pelts and in addition the sheep man will receive dividends from his investment, in-vestment, an added profit to his wool. ' The mill is composed of two rock buildings, one of which is three stories, 120x40 feet, and the other two stories, 75x60 feet. This last building is now being remodeled and in a few days will be completed. These buildings originally cost approximately ap-proximately $65,000 and are located upon three acres of land worth about $1,000. Our water power will furnish furn-ish us with 50-horsepower, sufficient to run the mill. We have a complete set of machinery, including cards, mules, looms, pickers, sewing machines, ma-chines, shafting, pulleys, engines, in fact, we have everything complete and this property when first established estab-lished could not have cost less than $90,000. Every share of stock being be-ing sold brings a dollar into the treasury for the purpose of running the mill. Not one dollar is being spent for high salaries or expensive luxuries. For the man who cares to invest his money we are prepared to show him what will become it and ! what will become of every dollar paid into the treasury. The management is conducting the plant on an economical eco-nomical basis and a dividend of no small proportion is assured. The mill will turn out 120 pairs of army blankets per working day, and in addition ad-dition to this two dozen mattresses. The demand for these goods today exceeds the market supply and almost al-most at the manufacturer's price, j Beaver Correspondent. |
