The Herald is gratified to see that
the attention of some of the largest az
ricultural implement manufacturers is
being directed to Dallas as an eligible
point for the establishment of depots
for the sale Of wares direct from the
factories. One of the most extensive
establishments of that kind, under the
proprietorship OF Buford, Aldrich d
Worthington, contemplates an early To-
cation in North Texas. They are
agents for the Rock Island Plow COM

Wagon company, Minnesota;

Ithica, n. Y; the New York Stand

rlous other leading factorles-just
about rs complete line of the best
production that skilled labor and
money can produce. 1t is pleasant to
know, too, that their Mr.. Buford, who
has been for more than twenty years
one of the firm of b. ID. Buford & Co.
OF Rock Island, H., will in the fu.
ture be identified with the Texas
trade as well as that of Arkansas,
Mexico and the Indian Territory. He
also nolds stock in the Rock Island
Plow company. The other partners,
Messrs. Aldrich and Worthington, are
stockholders, too, and have for the
PAST nine years been identified with
the Buford goods. The leading
idea of this move on the part
OF Buford, AldTich Il Worth,
ington will be to supply Texas
direct from the factory and thus save to
buyers the intermediary tribute they
now are paying to Kansas City, ST.
Louis and other royalty-collecting
points in the North and East. The
