New Car Combination.

The American Car g. Foundry COM
pany, a new combination capitalized
at $50, 000, 600 and embracing eight OF
the largest car works in the country
has bought out the interests of the
Union Car com any of Depew, which
company hereafter will be included in
the consolidation of cal manufactures.
The combination will soon become
operative.
j.. J. Albright OF this city is a direc-
ter of the American Car Sc Foundry
company, representing the Union Car
company of Depew. There are 10 9TH
er BuffaloniAns among the directors,
the list of anne on the board to be
made public later. AS yet, it has not
been decided where the main Office of
the company will be located.
1t is considered that the change
made by the Union Car company will
result in its benefit, as it probably will
insure continued work, larger orders
and, in time, increased facilities and
equipment. The absorbing combina-
ton is so vast in the scope hat it Is ex-
pected inmen g orders will be secured.
The influence of. the Union Car com
pany as q part of the combination will
be more extensive, and, it is hoped, a
larger force of men will be added to
those already employed. The annual
capacity of the United Car works is es-
timated at about 80. 900 cars, and near
ly 1000, 900 wheels.
