THE CHICORY COMPANY
The Stockholders in Ann Arbor's
Latest Enterprise
On Saturday afternoon the incor-
poration papers of the Ann Arbor Chicory
Co. were prepared and signed in the
directors room of the State Savings
Bank. The capital of the company
will be '$17,000 all paid in, divided
as follows: Jacob Laubengayer, $6,500;
John Heinzmann, $6,000; W. J.
Booth, $2,000; William Arnold
$1,000; J. F. Lawrence, $500; John
Walz, jr., $500; T. D. Kearney, $500.
The papers have been sent to the secre-
tary of state. Upon their return the
stockholders will meet and elect dir-
ectors and effect an organization. The
factory and receiving station will be
located on Laubengayer and Heinzman's
property near their elevator, from
which the necessary power will be
furnished. The company is now ready
to close contracts with farmers for
acreage. A little circular with direc-
tions how to grow chicory has been is-
sued and says:
"To grow good chicory requires a
black sandy clay loam. Land should
be plowed from 7 to 8 inches deep.
Roll land with light roller before sowing.
Sow the chicory from May 15
to June 1. Sow in drills 12 inches
apart, thin it out to 6 inches in the row.
"Chicory does not require much
cultivating, keep the weeds out and the
chicory will take care of itself. Sow 1 1/2 to 2 pounds seed to the acre."
