The question of a site for the new
Terra Cotta factory was settled yes-
terday when the commercial club
gave five acres to be used for the
'buildings and plant of the company.
C. W. Lyons, president; Fred E.
SUater superintendent ,and A. M.
Brooker, a stockholder in the com-
pany are in the city in conference
with S. J. Smallwood, resident man-
ager of the concern, in regard to the
matter of beginning work on the
plant.
It was announced last night that
the factory would be in operation,
giving employment to at least 75
within three months. The pay
roll will be about #1,000 per week.
The company has moat excellent
prospects, according to Mr. Lyons.
Orders for the purrchase of terra
cotta have been placed with the com-
pany in sufficient number to keep
the plant busy for several months.
The convenient location of Bartles-
ville with reference to the raw ma-
terial from which terra cotta is made
and the cheap fuel are factors which
will contribute largely to the success
of the undertaking.

Where He Got His Name.
Natben Flarida the head cutter far
the tailoring department of the C.
& S. last night after the opening told
a questioner where he got his name.
He proudly confessed that his grand-
father was a pure blood Irishman,
and after marrying a girl of the
same emerald nation, emigrated to
Madrid, Spain. There the Span-
iards, in attempting to pronounce the
parental patronymie of Flaherty with
which the couple had left Ireland,
changed it ink. Flareedo. Time went
on and the family came to this coun-
try and settled in Virginia. The
Spanish name had stuck by this
time, but the Virginians modernized
it somewhat and from that time to
this it has been Flarida.
