S54 CAPITAL, $15,000,000 RESERVE FUND, $13,500,000 To the V oters of the V illâ€" age of Grimsby A topic which is just now a matter of interest in local circles, is the Metal Craft Company Byâ€"law, over which, more or less discussion is taking place, and to those who have the responsibility of deciding whether or no it is in the interests of a Greater Grimsby that the Company should remain here, the following facts may be of assistâ€" ance in fulfilling their responsibility to the Community. The Metal Craft Company commenced business in March 1915, and since then has made very satisfactory progress, so much so, that it was recently deemed advisable to reâ€"organize the Company in order to take care more effectually of the business that was being offered. It was therefore decided to incorporate the Company, and at the presâ€" ent moment the application for Charter is in the Hands of His Honâ€" our, The Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Ontario. The New Company is being capitalized at. $40,000, the shares beâ€" ing $100 each, of which over $16,000 has already been subscribed for. This means that the Company has a sufficiency of capital to carry out its programme of expansion. â€" 4 ; ng qivV Cacn, oOr wWhicnh This means that the Cor its programme of expan For various reason Headquarters of the Co change in the ordinary but when this was lea n mortgage loan, nameiy $6,000, When the propoSsea I@aclOrPY I5 CUINPICLâ€" ed, the value of the property and building alone will be worth more than the amount of the Loan, and when the machinery is installed the next day, no loss to the Village would occur. The Company have already arranged for three of the Chief Facâ€" tors necessary in the organization of a successful business, namely, the General and Financial Management, the Sales Management, and the Mechanical Superintendent, all of which departments are under capable hands. , s The Metal Craft Company is the only company making a full line of hospital equipment in Canada, and there is a protective tariff of 42%, per cent. on these goods coming into Canada from the United States. The Community needs every reliable manufacturing industry »it can secure; if it were not for the few industries we have in our midst with a weekly pay roll of over $2,500, do you not think that Grimsby would be a pretty dull place? _A few samples of the Company‘s products may be seen in the show windows of Mr. J. C. Marlatt, Main Street, together with a plan of the factory they intend to build in Grimsby, should the Voters conâ€" sider this undertaking as one of the stepping stones towards a Greater Grimsby, and show their confidence in same by carrying the BYâ€"LAW on the 18th. inst.
