The plant they propose insialliog would operate about thirty machines, giviog employment to forly or fifty hands. There are several available buildings in the town suitable for such a factory and the espense of erecting one need not be incurred. Joth Bellefonte and Millheim have secured similar plants through the en- terprise of its cilizens and they will prove a great boon to each place in giving employment to maoy. It will culation a great deal of money. The promoters of the enterprise ex- pect the citizens of the place to aid them in the enterprise. In towns to for be ed the citizens subscribed liberally wards the plant and to secure one Centre Hall, a similar course must foilowed. nity for securing a large shoe faclory.
