firms last saturday with a view to obtaining factory space for rental one firm is a pant manufacturing concern the other is engaged in the textile busi ness and were very tnxious to open a branch plant in stouffville unfortunately nothing came of the interviews since there is not a property available for such work an effort was made to interest the firms in building but they were both adverse to putting their money into real estate and furthermore were of the opinion that materials were not available for building we understand that the home manu facturing co in the ratcliff block is employing about 20 hands and a similar number is engaged at the gold fish supply and while this takes up the female help fairly well there is a strong desire that a factory that would require male help would be a benefit to the town perhaps this is right but such male help is very limited in numbers any young man who is mechanically inclined can find employment at the stouflville machine tool
