"I'll tell you why we are making those additions.

I have bought options on some of the biggest bearing factories in the country--so you won't have so much competition when I'm gone.

And instead of running those other factories, I'm going to move their machinery down here.

When the changes are once made, it's more economical to run one big factory than half a dozen little ones.

And of course it will make it better for New Bethel." "But it must make it bad for the towns where the factories are now," said Mary after a thoughtful pause.
