C. R. Hite is in receipt of a
letter from Passenger Traffic
Manager John Sebastian of the
Rock Island, in answer to inqui
ries of Gust. Nordin of Rock
ford, 111., as to a good location
for a furniture factory. The let
ter recommends Newport, Mal
I vern and Oklahoma City.
With an abundance of raw ma
terial at our very doors, two
competing railway systems, as
well as a navigable river, why
shouldn’t Newport land such a
factory? Mr. Hite will write the
Rockford capitalists and we hope
they will come down and look
over the advantages Newport has
1 to offer as a location.
