OUR PROMISED INDUSTRY.
Hardware Manufactory the Best
Ever Offered to Local Capital.
Tho hardware manufactory proposed
by Mr. Fitzgerald to bo established In
this city, Is bv far the most profitable,
enterprise ever ofercel to loecl cap
ital, both as it dlvldend-pnvliiir biial
nesis and distributor of money In the
city. That 1, If the iepreeiitatlons
ne founded on fnct
A pay roll of more than T.0,000 a
month Is an immense pecuniary ud
vantage to uny third-class city. That
CarbondnJe nhould pain puch an in
dustry feema too f?od to be title, jet
'why not Oaibondalo as well us uny
thcr place.
Mr Kits.'erald iradlly eonvlneed the
board of trade that he understands
his business. He Is a tall, spare man
with cray eves, beard pprlnkled villi
i;rnv, 11 full deep voice and apparently
between fifty nnd sixty years old. He
Is a lluent talker and Rave mnnv In
IcregtltiK eNpcrlemes of his l'fi as
Danker, biokcr, accountant and manu
facturer 7fe established a big hnrduuie eon
rein in Reading nineteen yeais ago,
but leter lost Ills Interest of fd per
rent, by ilnanclal mlsfotlune In an
othfr direction, which cost hint 193 000.
The business Is now worth a i ouple of
million1.
Mr. Fltztiernld proposes to manufac
ture locks pilneipally. lo Snld ?J0,
IIO0.O00 worth were exported last vear
and that the trade, which is supplied
by only twelv manufactories tint
-tmotint to anything. Is constantlv nnd
rapidly glowing. AVIth the utmost
confidence h asseiled that he can s-ell
the product of 1,000 hands without put
ting a slnglo man on the road. He
irai1 letleis fiom nun high in tho
business world, nttestlng his lntcgilty,
and while there Is no rcas-on to doubt
lilm, it behooves) the eommltteo on
mnnufnetoiles, on purely business
principles, to verify, If possible, his as
fccrtlonu Among other things this committee
(diould ascertain the power of the
Imrdwnie trust which Mr. l'Mlzgeiald
advised keeping out of, and vhleh ho
said would pay $20,000 lather than sec
this manufactory started.
Thin nnd n few other points being
faoinbly settled Carbondallans can
not too LOpliuvly pour their dollars in
to this undertaking. Scranton nnd
IIoneMlalo are after it, but the former
Is too large and Ilonesdnle av 111 roon bo
too far off the earth. Mr. Fitzgerald
much piefers Carbondale to either, but
he says the people must go In prepared
to burn the bridges behind them. Up
proposes devoting the balance of his
life to this enterprise nnd will not be
satlslled with any picayune business.
The large pioflts lie showed up depend
upon immense output and he talked of
millions of dozens of locks nnd hun
dteds of thousands of dollars as off
hnn-1 and unconcernedly as the ordi
nal y merchant dlreufses the purchase
of a carload of Hour.
He exhibited plans for the construc
tion of the buildings to cost $C0,000
and showed how from the beginning at
the foundry the "No. 1 pig" Is travel
ing always onwaid. never backward,
thiough the several finishing depart
ments until it reaches the switch for
the completed locks-. "Oh, It's a great
business," he enthusiastically con
tinued, "ou soli 'em before you se
' m and get your money in ten days.
No bad debts "
A screw factory, employing a large
number of hands, would soon be an
auxiliary of the works.
Mr Fitzgerald's ehlldien icslde In
Scranton nnd that Is one of the rea
sons why he doesn't cue to go far
avay from that city. However, ho as
sured bis hearers locks can be made
heie cheaper than In New England
and as cheaply ns in any town on
eaith.
