Logansport Lags in Industrial Stocks Despite Kokomo Success
The Logansport public shows reluctance to fund local manufacturing despite Kokomo’s thriving steel and wire ventures. Kokomo investors like H. L. Ashley sold stock at $1.25 while the city enjoys six percent dividends and a large surplus. The piece argues Logansport’s past losses and lack of local factory profits deter new investments, urging locals to back profitable ventures with a market and dividends.
