L. McLure, vice-president of the Mississippi Valley Furniture Co. Memphis ,Tenn. t and who v, active manager of the Mississippi Val ley Furniture Manufacturing Co., when it opens in Greenwood from three to four weeks from this after noon, in an interview with a reporter Tuesday, asserted that a half dozen men were at work out at the old furniture factory plant now, and that more would be put there in a few days to clean up and repair the plant and get things in shape for the operation of Greenwood's greatest new industry the Mississippi Valley Furniture Manufacturing Co. Negotiations were concluded Tues day afternoon for the taking over of the entire structure by the Memph people. While the deal was practical ly closed two weeks ago. the last signatures were secured by each of the contracting parties Tuesday. With the bringing of this industry to Greenwood, a pay-roll of from $40, 000 to $50,000 annually is added to the city. Backed by Experience, Capital. It is understood also that the operators are practical and experi enced fifrniture manufacturers and that they are barged by sufficient capital to make the local factory success. This will add materially to the reputation of the city as regards to an inducement to the bringing of other manufacturing plants into the territory as well as attracting skill ed labor here. Mr. McLure stated Tuesday that he hoped to have the plant in operation in three weeks. He said that he ex pected to do so, in fact. "We will work from 75 to 100 hands and our pay-roll will average around $40,000 annually,' he stated. Mr, W. H. Broadway, of Evans ville, Irak, will be the superintend ent of the plant. When asked just why he and his associates had accepted Greenwood for the location of their plant, he said that it was because of it being the center of their trade; that they would be enabled to get their goods manufactured and on the quicker. He said that the town a boomer. "It is a good City for its size and will continue to grow from all prospects," he suid. The Mississippi Valley Mfg. Co., will make a medium grade of furniture at their Greenwood plant. .Secured by Chamber of Commerce. of j ■il! be the | to a It of of be to IS new a ' ' ; ' ■Mi ed J. E. W.

Herr. He has practically developed the entire project and perfected it in a very short time. It is one of the greatest movements made by the club during the history of the city, and is especially marked in this respect wnen the present conditions of un certainty of materials, transporta tion and labor in the manufacturing business are considered. Through the success of securing this industry is seen other substan tial and progressive enterprises for the city by the new Chamber of Commerce, which really tends to as sert itself as a live-wire aggregation of activeness not only literally but in reality as well. TWO MORE LOCAL PATRIOTS. John C. McCain and K. E. Bruce De part to Join Colors. John V. McCain, of J .T. McCain & Sons, local cotton factors, who en listed in the aerial branch of the U. S.
