BOARD OF TRADE CONSIDER-
ING ANOTHER INDUSTRY
A meeting of the Directors of the
Mount Joy Board of Trade was held
on Tuesday evening in the First Na-
tional Bank building at 8 o’clock for
the purpuse of hearing a proposition

wise at this time to make public the
name of the firm or the business it
proposes to bring to Mount Joy. The
Directors are giving the matter fav-
orable consideration and a meeting
of the Board of Trade will be called
at an early date to consider the mat-
ter. The industry would bring at
least one hundred skilled mechanics
The slogan has gone forth “A
bigger and better Mount Joy with a
population of not less than four
thousand five hundred.”
