(leery staple, but about anything
and everything that grows in the,
ground, while pure water, river i
and wells, is sufficient to supply |
every manufactory in the state,
and, as to fuel, lignite coal and :
all kinds of wood, can be had in
the greatest abundance.
The old town itself, owns sev-
eral leagues of fine timbered
lands, within its corporate limits,
and the city would be most liber-
al with any kind of manufactur-
ing concern establishing here.
Besides, we have monied men
who have large idle capital, wait-
ing for some good investment.
You have only to interest these
capitalists, show them certain
profits on the money invested,
and there will be no difficulty in
securing the amount necessary
to build and equip any kind of
manufactory, from a first class
cotton mill to a canning factory.

Vacation is fast reaching its
end and soon we will see the chil-
dren winding their way toward

who attend school abroad will be
packing their trunks and bidding
friends adieu to leave for various
schools and colleges. Some will
nodoubt be glad the time has
come when they will ugain enter
upon their school studies and
meet their chums of the previous
year, while the one who is leav-
ing home anil friends to go to a
strange place among strange
people for their "first time," will
no doubt feel a little "weak in the
knees,' and wish they were not
going. Butafterthey experience
a spell of the blues which will
last for a week or two, they will
fall in line with the balance and
soon feel perfectly ut home, how-
ever this might bo easier said

\ ours very truly,
Mayor, Bastrop, Texas.
Dear Sir. 1 desire to call your atten-
tion to manufacturing. Will state, my
proposition is to organize a company of
sfiO.UUl) capital for the puraose of build-
ing and operating a worsted plant to
manufacture yarn and press doth for
cotton seed oil mills. Tun y irns find
ready m.irket from the hosiery ar.d
knitting mills and the press cloth has a
splendid market in our own State, Tex-
as.
There are only four mills in the United
States making these goods (preMcloth
and there is a great demand for the
goods all over the South. Texas and
the Territories use about one million and
one half pounds of this cloth annually.
It cost to manufacture, all told, not
over Ho cents per pound and the same
sells to the cotton seed oil mill- for
fi2 cents |>er pound. My inquiring of the
managers of the oil mill in your towi ,
this statement will lie verified. Thus
you will perceive, there is a clear profit
of about 17 cents per pound in manu-
facturing these goods and a great grow-
ing demand for the same.
Now to build and equip a plant t"
produce loo pounds per day of thcs<
goods, will take about s.">0,0iM) which
plant will readily pay from ;tl) to f>0 per
cent on money invested.
The writer ih a thorough practical
m.iiuilacturer, having been engaged m
the business Tor over ltd years. 1 am
familiar with the bu.-ine - in every de-
tail, from buying the wool and hair to
selling the manufactured yarns and
cloth. This plant would pay out in
I wages about $2,0*) per r.innth, giving I
employment to about fill people, mostly !
< women and girls. You will thus see it
is a go id proposition fur any town
j wanting to invest in a - fe and profita-
t>e tnanufa> turiin.: ••tucrprise.
My-'-ii and friend-will take 2(1 per
I cent of stock in the e incern and al >o t ie
! management. There is no experiment
in this busincH , I can furj'ish you with
| the best of references from the leading
1 i)iisine>s men in tin city.
If you and your >ple arc interested
! in this matter, I will be pleased to go
more fully into details.

with me relative to this matter, but ow- |
