A Plan to Secure Factories.
All of our public-spirited citizens
argueithat Durham needs and ought
to have more factories that they
would be of vast benefit to the town
but just how to get them is the
rub. j We fear there is too great a
disposition to look to outside parties
to establish these factories. Of course,
it is all right to encourage others to
come here and establish the much
needed industries, but we must not
depend entirely upon outside capi
tal tor this work. Let us co-operate
wnn outsiders apdlet us push along
the line of increased, manufacturing
interests upon bur own hook. Many
of our ; progressive citizens are men
of moderate means and while only a
few may not be able to accomplish
very much, yet if the efforts and the
capital of all were united we could
secure results which would other
wise be impossible.
We give below a plan upon the
co-operative idea, recently submitted
by Mr. D. AV Tompkins, of Char
lotte, in the Manufacturer.-,'' Record.
Let our people, study this plan and
see if we cannot adopt it, or some
thing similar, and thereby push
Durham along with more certainty
and greater facility towards a higher
plain of material prosperity.. Mr.
Tompkins says : "
"In North and South Carolina a
number of cotton factories have been
built in the last, two years, the
money for which has been raised in
accordance with this plan, which
has been so tar eminently successful
The plan is as follows :
"A company is organized which is
essentially a saving fund and build
ing association. Instead of the usua
object of such organizations, viz , to
create a savings ; fund and build
homes for the members, the.object is
to build a cotton factory. Subscrip
tions for the stock are obtained, the
assessments on which are small
monthly sums. Let us take the case
of such a company as an illustra
tion : i - :
"A company has been formed with
1,000 shares at $100 each. . It is pro
vided in the by-Jaws that the assess
ments on each share hould be. sav.
."A i .: ... 1 r- ' . - '
ov ceu is per weeic. upon organiza
tion oO cents per share is paid bv
each subscriber to defray expenses
of organization. Thus n. mpmhpr
who may have . subscribed for 10
shares would pay $5 at the orcraniza
i , rni i u. : i f , .
uun. iiieu ui me ena oi each week
succeeding the organization 50 cents
per share would be due on each
share. Thus on 1,000 shares the
company would receive S500 which
for 52 weeks would make about S2G.
000. i ! '
"This would give ample monev
within the year to pay for a rood
building and make a good navment
on the equipment, and with the en
terprise in the hands of conservative
men would form the basis of i?ood
credit. '
"With five hundred dollars per
month being paid into the treasury,
the company could commence build
ing very soon after the organization.
Upon the completion of the building,
the money required to eouio it with
machinery will be far in excess of
what the assessments bring into the
treasury. The methods by which
this money is raised are : First, to
borrow it on the company's note en
dorsed by individual directors, from
individuals, or from a local bank
which might re-discount the paper
at some money center. -Second, take
notes irom an subscribers for the full
amount of their subscription ; then
discount these notes with the com
pany's endorsement A bond and
mortgage may be executed on the
company's property as a collateral
with the above notes if necessary to
accomplish a loan.
"In Charlotte, N. C, two mills
are now in operation, both of which
were built on the above plan, the
assessment on the shares of one of
them being at the rate of 50 cents
per week each, and the other 25
cents. At Rock Hill, S. C, and at
several other point3 in the Piedmont
region, mills are now being con
structed on the building association
plan, i
"The assessments continue of
course until the entire one hundred
dollars per share is paid in full.
The plan serves not only the purpose
of being a means to get a factory,
but creates an excellent saving in
stitution, much of the money which
is paid into it being the vest-pocket
money which goes nobody knows
where.
"At fifty cents per share per week
about four years is required to pay
the stock in full, and twenty-five
cents about double that time.
t i!0ne.,? the Pmpanies at Char
lotte will have a capital stock, when
paid up, of 125,000, and the other
about $100,000. Many a dollar is
being put into them by men who
pay regularly and promptly, but
which would never be saved at all
except for the obligation which.thie
etock creates."
