Ls the Land and River Improvement
Company Of the " est End, which We
do not Ike and cannot commend as
honorable and the proper thing to do,
even from selfish business standpoint,
there are other qualities III its make up
which we can and do admire. When
the company tries, for instance, to
build up the West End by pulling
down and obstructIng the legitimate
development Of the East End OF the
city, as it has been doing on numerous
occasions, notably III its very unreas
enable hostility 10 the harbGr cofamis-
sion and its proposed work, simply be-
cause such harbor Improvement would
not tend 10 further tier interests,
then we must den0unce it. On the
other hand, When it tries to build up
its end Of the city uaon the merits OF
that local.ty ana by legitimate meth
eds. theI. Wc commend it and are ready
to give il dti" praise and any assistance
We might be able to give it.
That company wants its end Of the
city 70 grow and i has done mach to
/ lat end ana keeps or adding. The
great rlan: cf the Iron and steel Com
pan,. tire coke industry, some of the
great docks, the Steel Barge plant,
some Of tie fine business blocks, etc,
are the the creations Of that company,
directly or indirectly. These are le-
climate methods OF city building and
are Trustworthy.
Last week we published an account
and description OF the dry deck that
company had been instrumental i'll Sc
curing, wnich was then lis latest AMI
one of its gran lest aehicEmentS This
week il sticks another feather in its
June ii ap' ears on the face of ii as
Il deal Just consu.nmattd between the
Superior Iron and Steel Company and
the Holland Radiator Manufacturing
Company, Of Chicago. but, as we have
said the Iron and steel company is the
creation Of and :; part of the land com
pany. 50 that to il at least as much as
10 amy other source, is the city to re
furn thanks Tor this great industry,
and the TINES heartily joins i'll this
returning OF thanks
President Holland Of the Radiator
company was asked by Telegram re-
porter for some particulars concerning
this new industry soon to be put in op-
Grafton here, and we think his reply
Will be interesting to all our readers,
20 we reproduce il as follows:
Well, in the first place, we have
found that we mast Of q business ne
ceesitv get 10 the head Of the lake #
We expect TO retain orr present posi-
ton as leaders III tie field west and
north west Of Superior. Here we can
manufacture radiators cheaper than
1T Chicago, Siringtield Chic, or Wau
kesla, where or radiators are now
turned out The matter Of cheauer
nroductiGl IS nat the only feature. We
can reach this great territory which |
have described III Il general way, at
cheaper rates and in an altogether sat
isfactory manner. In addition to IA
ii"tolS we also manufacture 81 ccial
glatt bars and blowers for burning
c,;ear fuel.
ne radiator business, however, is
eur chief industry. and 1t is Il great
and growing one. Let me give YOU an
idea of it. There are two factories in
Detroit employing 4 total OF 500 men
and neither 81 them are cid establish
mentS. There is one III Buffalo en-
Ilosing 500 men and another in Jersey
City employing ,I"G Glen, Now AL OF
these companies are comparatively ieW
Ill the field and yet they have grown
to great Proportions. They are al COM
hihed and recently advanced the price
81 radiators 20 per cent. The demand
for steam and hot water radiators is
greater than the SUPPLY | can say
further IL respect to cur manufacture
ot radiators here that we can ship to
NeW York, Boston. and othern east
ern POINTS cheaper from Superior than
from Spring field, Ohio. \ OIL see the
point: We want cheap transportation
East, whica We get hy water, as well
Is tie most advantageous rates West
+, rail. Which we also get here. VI by,
our rates from present points of man
f.rture are - Per cent. of the cost 0,
labor, and Ii We can Do better than
that ii stands L.; i'll hand 10 do 50. |
