ARRANGEMENTS FOR “FLITTIN’ ” COMPLETETeamsters Volunteer Their Ser vices in Removing Factory.Aluminum Comb Works to be Re ' moved from Doylestown by Wagons Tuesday.AdAn old fashioned “flittin’ ” is to take place today (Tuesday) when the Board of Industry will remove the Union Aluminum Co.’s machinery and fixtures from Doylestown to the new building constructed for them on the Board’s (Wirth) allotment in the south-west part of Orrville.Committeeman K C. Bowman, who«has matters in charge, states that twen ty-nine teamsters from this vicinity have gratuitously offered their services and if the weather permits, road conditions remain good; the new concern will be made a part of Orrville’a mannfacturing enterprises on that date. Chairman Bowman states that with but few exceptions, all teamsters solicited, responded with a willingness to assist the Board of Industry in its efforts fo promote the interests of the townIn removing the Ohio Comb and Novelty company’s plant from Doylestown a few years ago to Orrville, where conditions are more favorable to the concern, made it possible, and paved the way for transferring of the former industry to ^jrg this place. Superintendent J. A Myers, who is comfortably located with his family in the fine brick dwelling house, purchased from the Board of Industry on the allotment, is financially interested in the two comb factories and will continue personal supervision over both.These industries grew beyond their former quarters aud industrial conditions, ®ua which resulted in the companies considering a proposition to remove elsewhere. The Orrville Board of Industry, through several of its members, learned the of this state of •affairs and immediately imp began a campaign which resulted in the j _ landing of both concerns for Orrville. w^c Here let us say in this connection: The 0V01 Orrville Board of Industry had not in | mind the possible gain to be derived at the expense of our neighboring village inP. in t visitM ed f Cuys and~MFrid in I manM Miss in FRdiayM chlllt; to I n.iec TtioJlt;W03M is t MrsM of + wLtl Mir.M fieV Mrs. Mi\\forIntorMMan'andsecuring these factories, it was a matter (l! of competing with other towns for the ’ prize and we won out.
