The Commercial Club last night

luee, Oklahoma, whereby uucli
plants will be removed from their
present locations and placed in Sa«
l pulpa. One of these plants will be
; located near the packing plant In the
northeast prt of town. Each plant
j will employ fro m lfty to one hundred
I men and the factories have the repu-
I tiiC' n of running re gularly and dis-
I l osing of their output. This is but
j the starting of what is to come in
t'.ic way of factories, according to the
Commercial club,
| Both Mr. Kelly and Mr. Collins,
the heads of both factories, believe
I the outlook here is very flattering,
and within ten days will begin work
| on their plants and rush the same to
completion.
As is nea.rly always the ease as
rfoon as one glass factory is located

j safe to predict that there will l>e oth-
