FURNACE FOUNDRY.
.*-"     —; ~
The Location of One in  Clare
Seems to be Assured.
"Negotiations are undei** wiiy'tu-ir,
seem to point tp the establishment of-
a. furnance foundry in Clare, to h»
capitalized at $12,000, Five of our
•prominent citizens wfth a former
Ulareitt. and two practical foundiy
men from a neighboring town have
agreed to- put in'the receasary capital
and all plan-* discussed thus far point
io the immediate onratilz ition of the
company and the installing'of the
plant in Clare. The reason for' those,
now interested in a small plant in
aiio'lher town moving therefrom, is
that.Clare with two railroads has the
better shipping facilities.
The Sentinei. has reason to believe
that this industry will be located here
and that,^as Some bf our best business
men are;to be financially interested, it
"will be a success; but in view of several former announcements of industries
that failed, to materialize, we think
it wise ttf'await further.developments
before giving the names of Interested
parties.
