They are staggering under a mountain of profiteering price increases in-creases in every department of the manufacturing world. . Rents, taxes, power, light, heat, everywhere their bills of expense are mounting higher from day to day, with apparently no relief in sight. It is small won.ler they demand enormous prices for their products. In this beautiful and attrictive cii.'y it would be different. There would be none of the abnormal expenditures ex-penditures necessary in the large cities. Labor can be had for less than city rates, because other expenses are less here. As much work as good a product enn be turned out here in a day as can be produced in any city. The person who purchases an aii'iclo of manufacture cansiders the viid uo of the article ami not the place where it was made. If we can produce just as good an 'article here and sell it for less than the city made article there is no reason why it should not command a ready sale. With conditions as they are there is no reason why we should not have a number of thriving factories right here in Mount Pleasant. Eyes that see have already seen the opportunities that are before us. But it takes more than eyes to Hut an enterprise that calls for the initial evpenditure of money. Have we the other requisities? |
