The decision was felt keenly here, as it was believed that Lititz had as many points of advantage for a hosiery mill as did aiiy of the other towns under con-sideration. It is to be regretted that our town was unable to get the plant, but the failure was not "due to lack of enterprise. The plant will be known as the Vanity Fair Stocking Company, a branch of the silk mill under the same management, located at Read-ing and will be used entirely for the manufacture of stockings, a new pro-duct of the Vanity Fair Company. According to officials a bond issue of $40,000 will be floated in the boro in the near future to finance the pro-ject. One-tenth of the issue will be paid off each year with the expecta-tion of paying the entire amount in twelve years. It is planned to erect a one-story, fire-proof structure, 112 by 105 feet in dimension, on Brubaker Avenue, in the west end of the town. The in-tention is to make this the first unit of what will eventually be a large plant. The decision was announced last Thursday afternoon and building will start March 1.

The decision was felt keenly here, as it was believed that Lititz had as many points of advantage for a hosiery mill as did aiiy of the other towns under con-sideration. It is to be regretted that our town was unable to get the plant, but the failure was not "due to lack of enterprise. The plant will be known as the Vanity Fair Stocking Company, a branch of the silk mill under the same management, located at Read-ing and will be used entirely for the manufacture of stockings, a new pro-duct of the Vanity Fair Company. According to officials a bond issue of $40,000 will be floated in the boro in the near future to finance the pro-ject. One-tenth of the issue will be paid off each year with the expecta-tion of paying the entire amount in twelve years. It is planned to erect a one-story, fire-proof structure, 112 by 105 feet in dimension, on Brubaker Avenue, in the west end of the town. The in-tention is to make this the first unit of what will eventually be a large plant. The decision was announced last Thursday afternoon and building will start March 1.
