TO EQUIP STAR
GLASS CO. PLANT
WITH MACHINES.
Big Citizens' Meeting Held Last Night
Under Auspices of Business Men's
Association.
THE CAPITAL TO
Soliciting Committees will Organize To-Night and Plan Cam
paign for Raising Money. With Modern Machine In
stalled Plant Would Give Employment to Fifty Men and
be Operated at Least Eleven Months in the Vear.
A movement to partially reorganize
the Star Glass Company, Increase Tits
capital stock and equip the plant with
modern machines for manufacturing
its product was inaugurated yesterday
and is being carried through In typical
Reynoldsville whirlwind fashion.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Star Glass Company Tuesday afternoon
the condition of the concern was fully
canvassed and it was decided that only
a radical change In the plant could
place It on a paying basis. The entrance
of the machlpe has cheapened tho cost
of production bo greatly that the fac
tories operated under old methods are
unable to successfully compete in tbe
open market. To re-equip the local
plant will require a large outlay of cash
but it is virtually a case of spondlng
one dollar additional to save three al
ready Invested. It U the only practical
solution of the problem and once de
termined upon was taken up with en
ergy by the directors. ,
At five o'clock the officers of the Bus
iness Men's Association were appealed
to. They Issued a hurry call to the
members of the Association and citizens
and by 8.30 had a large and representa
tive audience of Reynoldsville business
men assembled In Odd Fellows' hall.
President D. H. Breakey called the
meeting to order and stated its object,
explaining that the Association had
merely taken the lead, that there had
been no time for investigation by tbe
authorized Association committees and
consequently whatever action was taken
would be the expression of opinion by
tbe citizens In general.
Dr. J. W. Foust Introduced a gentle
man from Pittsburg who explained the
proposition in detail, showing wherein
the plant was doficlent and how to make
It PBy, He was followed by others and
those present gained a perfect under
standing of the project.
Tho Star Glass Company was orig
inally capitalized at $100,000, of which
$32,500 remains in the treasury. It is
proposed to issue this stock at its par
value of $50 per share, payable in three
sums of one-third each at intervals of
thirty days. As an indication of the
confidence which the present stock
holders have in tho plant it may be
stated that over $11,000 was voluntarily
subscribed by directors yesterday af
ternoon and evening and others have
expressed their willingness to aid in
equipping tbe plant to compete with
tbe best and largest factories in the
United States.
It was moved that the chairman ap
point four committees of three mombers
each to undertake tho work of raising
tbe necessary funds, It carried.
Tho chairman named the following
gentlemen on the soliciting committees:
First: M. M. Fisher, Dr. A. H. Bow
ser, J. H. Corbott.
Second: W. H. Bell, C. R. Hall, M.
E. Weed.
Third: EC. Burns, W. W. Wiley,
J. Owen Edleblute.
Fourth: MayorS. M. McCrelght, C.
W. Flynn, Esq., Dr. J. H. Murray.
The soliciting committee appointed
at tbe meeting of the company's direc
tors Tuesday afternoon, which will co
operate with tbe committees appointed
at the citizen's meeting, is composed of
the following: Dr. J. W. Foust, H. C.
Deible, Richard Smith, Dr. J. C. King,
August Baldauf, Daniel Nolan, H. A.
Stoke, A. T. McClure, C. M. Dinger,
T. C. McEnteer, H. L. Dixon.
These committees will meet in the
Star Glass Company office to-night, or
ganize for work, district the town and
arrange for a thorough canvass of the
community during the balance of the
week.
