improved by the erection
new buildings and the repairs
ng and re-modeiing of old ones.

into an iron structure. and improv
I'd in strength and beauty. The

much. better and more
commodious, and we have now a
Branch Railroad of which
daily exp .rience prove the utility
and convenience. Our work shops
have had additional facilities adj
ded to their MACHINERY for the
business they are designed to do,
