BOX FACTORY
IF BOND ISSUE
IS CARRIED
C. J.Hahn Would Manufactuie
Boxes at Roseburg.
MUST HAVE MATERIAL FOR A SAWMILL
Is Much PltNUJed With lrosocts for
Roseburg and Vicinity und Re
lieves Tliero is OpMrtunlty
for Box Factory.
, Mr. C. J. Hahn, who has been in
this city for several days investigat
ing this vicinity as a location for a
box factory today announced posi
tively that should the saw mill be
assured 'at Roseburg within the next
two years that he would start con
struction work on a large plant at
once. Not only would he locate a
new industry here himself, but he
feels confident that he can bring a
large fruit canning company here if
they can be provided with boxes in
whicn to ship their goods.
Mr. Hahn has been in the box
manufacturing business for several
years and at the present time is
the owner of one of the largest
plunts in Missouri. The timber j
which Is being cut, however, to sup-1
ply him material is now nearly ex-i
haunted and he Is looking for a new
location and believes that the west
ern states are the most advantageous
for his business. His mill, it built
will be operated in conjunction with
the saw mill, using tho waste lum
ber and also a large -supply of the'
first class lumber for tho better
grade of boxes. The plant will em
ploy a large number of men and the
output will be governed wholly by
the demand for the product.
The demand for boxes in this vi
cinity Is now very great and with
Trio addition of a canning factory
which would use thousands of boxes
a day in their shipping business a
box factory would undoubtedly re
ceive" an excellent start. Mr. Hahn
is spending a few days looking about
the vicinity of the city in an en
deavor to find a suitable site for his
plant when he is assured by the
vote of the people that the saw mill
Is to be built In the near future.
He was brought here through the
work of the bureau of industries of
the Commercial club which through
l"s chairman, Henry Richardson, has
been corresponding with h1m for sev
eral months.
