TOWN'S ADVANTAGES WILL BE
GIVEN CONSIDERATION
A group of busineaa men of tbe
borough met in the community
room la tbe Fint National bank
building Mondsy afternoon to give
further consideration to the proposition of a concent anticipating locating s manufacturing plant in
aome part of central Pennsylvania.
Several communications from the
concern were presented and read
and reply to same were ordered to
be made. Bellwood'* possibilities
for a manufactuing plant will fint
have to be personally inspected by
e representative who will advise the
concern what the town hae to offer
in tbe way of modern facilities,
buildings end other considerations,
aa well as shipping facilities, both
rail and by truck.
After some discussion by all
present it waa decided to arrange
to have the representative make a
personal viait to Bellwood look
over that which we hsve to offer
and the possibility of locating a
manufacturing plant in tho community. It ia thought that the representative Witt come to Bellwolod
some time during the month of
August, and after sn inspection of
the town, a public meeting of interested citizens will be held and
the matter given thought and consideration.
Our citizens should not pass up
any proposition that contains merit
and that would be of benefit to
the town. It will be necessary to
raise funds to meet a slight expense in this connection and when
some of our citizens are approached by .the committee on thia subject
it ia hoped that they will all lend s
helping hand. Public enterprises
are not alone s benefit to the business interests, but' to tha entire
community, the home owner, the
one who owns houses for rent and
.the farmers in. the immediate sac-
