Rock Island Concentrating
Work at Horton.
On the Construction of 800 Box
Cars $4,000 Saved
OVER FORMER PRICES.
A Total of 454 Cars Built and
100 Men Added
Since June Ist-TO Build ! 200
Each Year.
OVER FORMER PRICES.

Horton, Nov 22.-The higher officials
of the Rock Island visited Horton last
week. The party was composed OF
Chairman Gable and the board of direc-
tors, President Purdy and the officials
of his department
Mr. Gable and Mr.. Purdy both said
that all freight cars would be built in
Horton hereafter, and as the company
has 1900 built every year, 1T will mean
very much to the city.
Last May Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. F1tz-
gibbon induced the president of the road
to allow them to experiment little at
the Horton shops.
In June they began work on 100 box
cars and so well were the officers
pleased that they ordered 200 more In
the erection of these cars Mr.. Fitzg1b-
bon saved the company $4,000, figuring
from the prices charged by manufac-
turers. In all, the shops have turned
out 389 cars. Ten fiat cars were turned
out last week, and five way cars are
now being built and so double deck
stock cars in course of construction,
making a total of asa cars since June l.
One hundred men have been added to
the working force and more will be put
on as needed. 1t costs the Rock Island
about $4,000 every year to keep up re-
pairs on the rolling stock and supply
new cars, and if all this is expended in
Horton st will mean much to the town.
