NEW ENTERPRISE MAY .
COME TO MOUNT AIRY
C. C. SmootAIIIi of North Wflkes
boro. was a business visitor in the
city last Friday and while here let it
be known that his company, the C. C.
Smoot & Sons Co., will establish an
acid plant somewnere at once. . They
already have the machinery bought
and will operate the new plant to se
cure acid f or. tanning purposes to be
exported , to Europe. They already
have, a plant of .thisi kind that they
operate at North Wilkesboro for their
own business. ' -.;;.v ;
Mr. Smoot was here to get informa
tion as to the desirability of locating
his plant here.- It is almost a settled
question that this ; would be the home
of the new, enterprise if the Mount
Airy and Eastern railroad could be
counted upon , to "operate and " thus

timber to be used at the new plant. ;
As may be well kown chestnut wood!
contains acid that can be used in tan
ning, and this acid can be extracted
from old sound chestnut trees that
have been dead for many years. Nowi
it is very well known that there are
great quantities of this kind of wood
in this section,' but to get it to the
mills is the question.
The business would be one of the
largest enterprises in this section and
would give, employment to a great
number of men, both at the factory
and.in,the woodsy delivering the chest
nut wood. v - ;
It-would mean much to this section
to secure this plant and business men
of this town and section should do all
they -can to encourage the Smoots tof.
locat here. The Smoots are men who
have unlimited capita! and stand at
the very top in character and reputa
tion as business men. Mt. Airy News,
