RAZOR FACTORY MAY MOVE TO AMHERST n- , FREMONT ORGANIZATION WOULD LOCATE HERE, BRINGING SEVERAL FAMILIES WITH THEM The Amherst Business Men's association held a special meeting In the council chamber last Friday night, at which time the matter of the National Raior Manufacturing company of Fremont, Ohio, locating in Amherst was discussed. H. D. Petty, secretary and general manager of the razor company, was at the meeting and explained to the satisfaction of the business men's association the reason for moving their factory out of Fremont. He also explained the conditions and financial standing of the company, and told of the industry in general. The factory, has been operating in Fremont for two years and has shown a good record for that time, taking into consideration the slump In business the latter part of last year. It is -lie opinion of the officials of the company that now is the opportune time to put the product on the market as all the wholesale hardware dealers and jobbers have allowed their stock of rasors to become deplete. Mr. Petty, In explaining his plan to move to Amherst, stated that they would figure to increase their capital ■took to 160,000, and all the new issue would he 7% preferred stock.

J. Smythe announced this morning that he has been in commu- nlvatlon with several people of Amherst who live on the streets that will be paved concerning the sewer and water connections. He had previously sent notices to the property owners regarding the matter and he received answers from two stating that it was their wish to have the town put in the water and sewer connections at their expense, in this way the expense can be lessened a great deal as a gang of men can do the work steadily until the pavement Is put in. Otherwise the connections would be put in accordant with the progress of the pavement and at times might hinder that progress. The advantage of starting the work of putting in the connections is that it will save the unnecessary breaking of the pavement, it in time to come the property owners should wish to put In the water and' sewer connections. Mayor Smythe wishes that the work start immediately and that the people communicate with him in regard to the notices sent out by him a short lime ago. PARKERS PLANNING GAME WITH 80.

FREMONT ORGANIZATION WOULD
LOCATE HERE, BRINGING SEVERAL FAMILIES WITH THEM
The Amherst Business Men's association held a special meeting In the
council chamber last Friday night, at
which time the matter of the National
Raior Manufacturing company of Fremont, Ohio, locating in Amherst was
discussed.
H. D. Petty, secretary and general
manager of the razor company, was at
the meeting and explained to the satisfaction of the business men's association the reason for moving their
factory out of Fremont. He also explained the conditions and financial
standing of the company, and told of
the industry in general. The factory,
has been operating in Fremont for
two years and has shown a good record for that time, taking into consideration the slump In business the
latter part of last year.
It is -lie opinion of the officials of
the company that now is the opportune time to put the product on the
market as all the wholesale hardware
dealers and jobbers have allowed their
stock of rasors to become deplete.
Mr. Petty, In explaining his plan to
move to Amherst, stated that they
would figure to increase their capital
■took to 160,000, and all the new issue
would he 7% preferred stock.
A committee of ten members of the
association were appointed by the
chairman of the meeting to visit the
factory at Fremont and see what the
organisation looked like from that end.
The committee, consisting of E. H.
Nicholl, F. H. Steele, Lee Mens, Jacob
Baus, J. J. Smythe, H. 3. Brown, Frank
Mischka, Conrad Zilch, W. Smith and
R L. Petty were there Monday and
their findings were of the affirmative
nature, hut a complete report will not

Mayor J. J. Smythe announced this
morning that he has been in commu-
nlvatlon with several people of Amherst who live on the streets that will
be paved concerning the sewer and
water connections.
He had previously sent notices to
the property owners regarding the
matter and he received answers from
two stating that it was their wish to
have the town put in the water and
sewer connections at their expense,
in this way the expense can be lessened a great deal as a gang of men
can do the work steadily until the
pavement Is put in. Otherwise the
connections would be put in accordant with the progress of the pavement and at times might hinder that
progress.
The advantage of starting the work
of putting in the connections is that
it will save the unnecessary breaking
of the pavement, it in time to come
the property owners should wish to
put In the water and' sewer connections.
Mayor Smythe wishes that the work
start immediately and that the people
communicate with him in regard to
the notices sent out by him a short
lime ago.

COT STONE PLANTS
RESUME OPERATION
' The light between the stone cutters und the employers is one against
the open shop rather than a light for
wages," asserted James Carter, vet-
erun leader of the union stone cutters
Tuesday, after having learned that
several of the members of the union
hud returned to work.
Mr. Carter said that nine union
stone cutlers huve remained loyal und
that thirteen of the former union men,
tin :.. Hug the president and secretary,
huve deserted the union ranks and returned to work under open conditions.
The union cards of the thirteen men
huve been forfeited und the union reorganized with William Innls as president and Patrick McGarvey as sec-,
rotary. The faithful union men say
that the reorganized union Is as staple
us any organization of its kind In the
world.
The trouble with the union stone
cutters is at the three plants of the
Ohio Cut Stone Co. The faithful union men charge insincerity on the part
of the employers. This, they say, is
•orroboruted by a wage agreed upon
with the planners which was reduced
from 8u to To cents an hour a week
nfter the agreement was madje, the
loiuier union men lace a $100 tine
| uch, suld Mr. Carter.
