machines, etc., of the pattern turned
out by the Lloyd Manufacturing com-
pany." So far as Minneapolis is con
cerned, and its jobbing territory, it
wants the goods whether the old cbm
i ja.ny is purchased and enlarged, a new
one is formed to build a plant, or the
products are shipped in by eastern
manufacturers. That a plant is needed
is shown by the fact that the Lloyd
Iarge
eople notwithstanding they have a
factory, are behind orders and
are continually being importuned to
hustle the goods on. The demand is,
therefore, evident, as well as a golden
chance which is open to men of means.
Save in Freight Charges.
WIRE GOODS FACTORY
HAS A READY MARKET
Splendid Opening for Capital to Take Over and Expand
a Prosperous Plant Already EstablishedFreight
The opportunity offered would be
particularly acceptable to companies
which are in the wire business as man
ufacturers or manufacturers' agents.
The raw material shipped to Minne
apolis and here turned into the finished
product for distribution to the adja
cent territory at less freight rates than
were the goods shipped from manufac
turing points much farther removed
from the consumers. A carload of wire
would take the least rate for its classi
fication while the finished product
which has been made from that car of
wire might reqxaire several freight cars
for shipment, with a rate of transpor
tation from three to five times higher,
owing to the greatly increased bulk,
even tho knocked down and shook.
"Wire comes in at about a third-class
well get the business as some other
manufacturing point, were it prepared
to handle it.
Builds from Raw Material.
No better criterion of the demand for
the establishment of such a manufac
turing plant, or the increase of the pres
Rates Saved by Bringing Raw Material Here front
The northwestern territory tributary
to Minneapolis is a ready market for
the products of a factory manufactur
ing wire goods, such as doormats, ham
mocks, mattresses, baby carriages and
goearts, boys' express wagons, etc.
Conditions seem peculiarly propitious
for the establishment of a plant in
Minneapolis just now. Capitalists have
the option or forming an entirely new
company, with the selection of a fac
tory site, letting of contracts for build
ings, supervision of the erection of the
plant and other accompanying delays
to immediate operation or or buyingr
an established plant, which is likely
to move from the city for reasons per
sonal to the proprietor, and doubling
its capacity and profits, without inter
fering with the steady run of the fac
tory as it now stands.
At present no company west of To
ledo, Ohio, is turning out the wheeled
rigs that are in such great demand in
the northwest territory. Certain pat
ents owned by the proprietor of
thedustry,
establishment which Minneapolis has
boasted for several years prohibit the
manufacture of the doormats, ham
mocks, automatic mattress weaving
cr.t business thru added capital, can be the cab is assembled.

offered than the experience of the Lloyd
factory. It is unique in the west in
that it is the only plant of the kind this
rate, while the finished product takes
first class and sometimes double first
class, which is considerably higher.
The decreased cost would naturally
have a diminishing effect on the price
to the consumer, and naturally would
affect trade favorably in a country not
yet blessed with great ready wealth.
The Lloyd Manufacturing company,
from which M. B. Lloyd, solo pro
prietor and owner, is to withdraw on ac
count of ill health, has been sought
after for two years by an eastern xnanu-

factoring city, but Mr. Lloyd has re
mained loyal to Minneapolis. St. Paifl
has just discovered this opportunity and
is making an effort to secure the indus
try to utilize one of its abandoned
manufacturing plants and thus to intract
crease the total annual manufacturing
output figures. It is therefore making
overtures. Local investors have made
no definite movement to retain the in
owing to lack of knowledge con
cerning the opportunity. The Commer
cial club, thru its public affairs com
mittee, has been investigating the
rewood
sources and conditions of? the institu
tion, however, and is .possessed of in
formation which goes to show that the
institution is valuable to the city, and
that it is a splendid opening for local
capital to use as an investment or for
concerns already connected with the
wire business to buy and maintain in
its present situation.
Territory Unlimited.
Altho the northwest and west to the
coast is the field for the disposition of
Minneapolis manufacturing products,
many of its industries seek the entire
country and often distant parts of the
globe for invasion by its selling repre
sentatives. A factory turning out wire
products of the class mentioned has
unlimited territory for a large propor
tion of ita goods. In fact, many unso
licited orders for special lines of goods
are the frequent experience of this Min
neapolis concern, reaching sometimes as
high as $1,000 a day, covering the
United States and foreign countries.
One advantage to the city of a fac
tory of this nature is that it increases
the diversity of manufacture at a point
which is rapidly reaching a manufactur
ing supremacy in the west. I is a,
gain to Minneapolis in that its busi
ness dovetails with that of another line
of industry which is making phenomenal
strides in the amount of its output and
the extent of its growing territory.
The country trade which carries furni
ture would carry the entire line of the
plant, so that the demand is already es
tablished, and Minneapolis might as
side of Toledo which manufactures all
of its output from the raw product.
Other concerns assemble baby cab parts,
for instance, which have been made at
different factories, but the Minneapo
lis company makes the parts from which
