people on their pay rolls. and, while not

One of the busiest industries in the city
is that of the BeVeridge Paper Company.
The paper mill is being run to it's fullest

one order for five carloads. Never in the

very bright. The improvements made re-

has been quite satisfactory. The company
has engineers now in Mexico installing two
plants containing it's new type of compound
condensing engine, and has orders also for
engines Of this type for points in Texas and
California. This new type of economic en-
CINE is meeting great favor in regions
where fuel is expensive, they being great
economizers. 1t has also quite a num-
Der of orders for points throughout the
Middle States.
