MEXICO WAGON FACTORY
An Enterprise That should be Cordi-
airy Supported BY All Of
Our People.

The Mexico Wagon Factory, owned
and operated by J.. j. McCully, will
soon be in frst-class running order.
Since the factory was burned Mr..
McCully has been hard at work put
ting things in shape. Nearly all the
new machinery is in place and In a
few days the whirr OF the wheels may
be heard. The main feature OF the
wagon, which Is produced 10 this
factory, is the felly parts. These
are made Of iron Instead OF wood. The
wooden felIy parts viii, after some
time, shrink and loosen, and the tire,
which, If not frightened Immediately,
will fall of. The iron felly parts
are much lighter in appearance than
the wooden and when the tire Is
placed ' e them they tighten and il
is impossible for them TO grow the
least bit loose.
The factory at present employs i've
men, but will accommodate more Il
need be. Mr.. McCully is quite
mechanical genius. Besides invent
ing the iron felly parts be has bull
a device that viii save time and labor
1t is a sandpapering machine. Thii
consists in a long table with a large
round hole in its center; in this holt
is placed a disk covered with SAINT
paper. This disk is turned by machin
cry which gives 1t sufficient force t
smooth any piece Of wood once ruI
over it.
Mr.. McCully should receive all Tn
assistance possible from Mexico PEG
pie, for in a few years this factor
will probably employ from thirty L
fifty men and bring lots Of trade B
