IMPROVEMENT
To be Made in the Hoosier Drill
Company's Plant-Capacity
TO be Doubled.

3 The capacity of sthe Hoosier Drill
company's plant is to be doubled in
some departments, aud the space oe-
cupied by buildings is to be greatly in
creased. The company has purchased
a new engine of 200 horse power, thus
doublir their force in that line. This
engine will soon be in position and
operation. The company is also max
ing ready to construct a large addi-
ton to the factory building, in
the angle formed by the immense l.
in the northeastern part of the
space partially occupied by the present
building. The new addition is TO
reach to north fourteenth street on the
east and to the railroad on the north. 1t
will fill out the square now partially oc-
cupied by the company's factory build
ings. This increase IN capacity IN one
of our largest manufactures does not
indicate that Richmond is wanting in
progress and prosperity of the right
sort.
