First Gun for the THIN Car Works.
Mr.. r. w. Shawhan received a
letter from New York City, on Mon
LAY last, from large dealer in rail-
road iron, cars, and railroad supplies,
inquiring what the Tifin Car Works
would build five hundred box freight
cars and one hundred gondOla fiat ears
with side boards) cars for terms cash;
how soon they could be completed
J the cars to be four feet eight inches
guage, and similar to those used on
the Toledo, Wabash & Western Rail-
road. The value of the cars wanted
would be $4,000. We suppress
the name of the party making thee
inquiries for obvious reasons.
This is a favorable look, to say the
least, for an enterprise that is in its
incipiency. It shows one thing Ger
tain, that our enterprise is getting
noised abroad, and more than that,
that there will be no scarcity of work
to do. It is very encouraging.
The books are open for stock sub
seriptiOns at the Office Of w. P. & II.
Noble, and those who expect to take
stock should do so at once, as it is be-
ing rapidly taken.
