ALONG THE LACKAwANNA

The Detroit Photograph Company
is adding to the views already made
of the beauty spots along the Lacka-
wanna.
1t is rumored that station will be
built at Stanhope upon the completion
of the short cut between Stanhope and
the Sussex railroad
There is laudable desire on the
part of the new management of the
Lackawanna to promote business en-
terprises along the line of the road,
and to this end the company has
created an industrial department. I'M
der the charge of an industrial agent,
who is working in conjunction with
the traffic manager. The results hoped
for are as follows: First, to aid in
developing to the fullest extent posi-
BILE the natural resources of the terri
noitory tributary to its line; second,
afford any reasonable cooperation to
extending the scope of industries
which already are located on its line;
third, to secure the location along the
entire length of its line of the great
est possible number OF additional in
dustries and manufactures This
forms the most convincing assurance
that the new management has abjured
the policy of the old. Newark Call.
