DEAL MADE.
E. A. Bullock Gets Half Inter-
est in Sioux City Works.
HE WILL BE MANAGER OF BOTH,

The business Here VIII Net he Detriment-
ally Anected-wm stiii Live In Norfoik.
Has Disposed Of His Interest In Pacific
Hotel to II. II. Patterson.
Il. A. Bullock has returned from
Sioux City where he concluded n deal
through which he becomes half owner
in the foundry at that place, known
as the Sioux Iron Works. His asso.
ciate is Milton Perry Smith, who by
the terms of the deal secures n half in
terest in the plant here. The company
thus organized will conduct both works,
of which Mr.. Bullock will be manager.
He will continue to reside in Norfolk,
but his duties will require his presence
in Sioux City occasionally. The new
arrangement means no loss to Norfolk
and will probably result in the better.
ment of the plant at this place.
John f. Cronk, who has been an eff
cient an competent assistant III the bus
mess here will be superintendent of the
Norfolk plant while Mr.. Smith will
have charge of the works ut Sioux City.
1t is planned to 80 conduct the two
plants hat q certain class of work will
be given special attention Mt each insti-
tuition. For instance in the manufac-
ture of the popular warm air furnace a
certain portion will be made here and
another portion ut Sioux City. This
will result in opening up a field for that
business which Mr.. Bullock had not
been able to enter under the former
method of manufacture and those who
know something Of its success predict
that its fame will soon spread through
out the country.
This plant will, between now and
spring, be especially fitted for the man
ufacture of hot air registers, and other
improvements both here and at Sioux
City are under contemplation. An i'm
provement at the Sioux City works will
be the fitting up of machine and boiler
shops ard it is believed that the work
which neither or both of the works can
not handle will be a very large and diff
ficult contract indeed.
Both institutions are now very busy
and the work is being rushed to their
full capacity. AS an instance of what
the uniting of interests may mean to
Norfolk it might be stated that on Mr..
Bullock's return he brought a large
order from Cherokee, Iowa, which will
be filled here and others of q similar
character are sure to follow.
The new corporation is capitalized at
$50, 900 and it's business starts out with
every prospect Of success.
The field for large works at Sioux City
is large, as the Sioux works is the only
foundry in the city and it is anticipated
that the job work done there will be
especially large.
Mr.. Bullock's friends here will con
graduate him on breaking his environ
ments and reaching out into new fields
and new territory worthy Of his ability.
Sells Interest in Pacific Hotel.
Because of the new duties and re.
sponsibilities he has assumed E. A.
Bullock this afternoon disposed Of his
interest in the Pacific hotel property to
H. H. Patterson. This will give the
latter gentleman a controeing interest in
the stock of that institution and the
ability with which he has conducted the
affairs of the hotel since assuming the
management speaks well for it's future
success. He makes an ideal landlord
and his friends will be pleased to know
that he has enlarged interests in the
business.
