WILL KEEP

MEN AT WORK

____________

The assignment of the Ann Arbor Agricultural Co. is not believed will work any injury to the 26 men employed. It is believed that Assignee Beal will keep the plant in operation. Eli W. Moore, the superintendent, says the prospects for spring trade are very good. He will not commence soliciting orders until the beginning of December. He thinks affairs will probably move along the same as in 1884, when the company made an assignment. They will work along until matters are adjusted. The general feeling in the city is that of sympathy for the hard struggle made to keep the company on its feet, especially that of some of the members of the board of directors. It is believed however, that the assets will more than cover all indebtedness, and even with Assignee Beal's careful management the stockholders may be secured.
