PROPOSITION to build a window glass plant in Butler, Ohio.  Having secured options on the land now owned by A.M. Stewart, we propose to build a window glass plant of 30 pot capacity to employ 165 men having a pay roll monthly of from $12,000 to $15,000.  This plant will cost from $60,000 to $70,000 and be completed ready for operation on or before October 1, 1907.  The consideration we ask from the citizens is the purchase of 150 lots at an average price of $200 per lot.  But if the citizens fail to take the lots, then we will ask the town to make up the difference.  These lots are to be selected in Stewart’s addition to the town of Butler, from blue prints showing locations, and price: Said blue prints will be placed in the hands of a trustee to whom all moneys will be paid for lots so selected.  Said trustee will hold all money paid him for lots until the said Glass Plant is erected and ready for operation.  In case of failure of the parties named below to build said plant and comply with this contract, all money paid for said lots will be returned to subscribers and their subscriptions declared null and void by said trustee.  C.W. Cole, by R.R.F., R.R. Faulkner, and J.F. Adamson, Rep.

Rusk, 1; Dr. Horn, 2; Geiselman & Bone, 3.  Very little soliciting has been done since Monday evening, owing to the fact that quite a number wishes to see the blue prints of the addition before deciding how many lots they wish.  County Surveyor Potts is now busy platting the land and by first of the week will have the blue prints all ready.  Mr. Stewart who has been appointed as trustee informs us that he will be under a $20,000 assurity indemnity bond, thus making all purchasers perfectly safe for money deposited with him.  The B.&O. Surveyors were here Thursday and layed out the side track to the grounds and have the ties and steel on the way for the siding.
