Eurron,--Noticing a communication in your paper of November 27th, regarding our bemuse(' manufacturers of this town signed Wage Earner, we think that it is only fair and just to both the nranufectur- er, the ratepayer and wage earner that their should bee reply, as the coxamunicrt- tio t r was of a misrepresenting character. We are only answering for ourselves no doubt the others can do likewise. In the first place the Wingham Chair Factory was purchased from the late insolvent firm or essigeee of the Kincaid Bros. and paid for in cash, subject to the town loan or bonus which was the inducement held out by the town to encourage manu- facturers to settle here, and then after- wards we had put in enough more capita( to equip it up to the requirements of the town bonus by-law. Wo have not only left in the principal, but the profit also, not even taking out our whole living ex- penses x- on s p se but have had to put in from time to time more capital from outside of the busi- ness which has been the means of enlarg- ing to nearly double the nurriber of hands required by our bonus by-law, and as for building or buying large, oostiy buildings as he says outside of the business, we want to tell him plainly that there has not been one dollar's worth of either profit orprinoi- pal.out of the factory been put into those costly buildings neither has that Wage Earner or ratepayer contributed one cent towards those buildings but rather those buildings have helped him to contribute towards the paying off this bonus we )tear so much about. It would be a pleasure to us to establish ail the above with facts and figures to the satisfaction of that Wage Earner or rate payer any time the Mayor or Council are disposed to take time to in- vestigate, We may employ one or two hands that live outside of the town limits but when we first employed them we were not aware that they lived outside of the said limit or that it made atiy difference and now we don't feel disposed to dis- charge thein without some other reason es their services have been very satisfactory to us and they no doubt help to support the town in some way.
