understand that it is expected to have the shop
in operation within 60 days, and from our per-
sonal knowledge Of the energy Of Mr.. Hendrie,
We have no doubt his expectations will be fully
realized. We have known Nr. Hendrie for near

will give additional Importance to our city as an

quartz mills, and all other kinds Of machinery
will be manufactured here ut the same rates that

procure them in Council Bluffs at as reasonable
rates, and upon as short notice, as at any other
