THE MAMMOTH GLASS FACTORY Muncie Can Have it if the Citizens Do Their Part. At the Board of Trade meeting last night the proposition submitted for the locating of a glass factory was accepted, the same being conditioned on the raising of $7,500. A committee for securing this money was appointed as follows: Frank Bratton, Frank Leon, A. L. Kerwood, W. L. Lacey, Ed M. White, and F. L. Wachtell. The committee was instructed to call to its aid any citizens that it might wish to assist it. The general sentiment is that this is the best proposition yet made, and all who have expressed themselves say that the offer must not be allowed to pass. There should be no hesitating on the part of anyone in aiding this enterprise. Starting with 125 hands and adding 175 within two years, this establishment alone will add from 1,000 to 1,500 to our population in a short time. With this factory secured in addition to the one on which work is already begun, the lively and money making times of the boom will return to remain. There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.
