and producing enough parts to make
a complete wagon every six minutes
or as many in an hour as il formerly
made i'm a week. The new purchase
Will largely increase this capacity.
The shipping facilities of the com
pany are most excellent The tracks
run the length of the factory i'm front
and in the rear and cars can be load
ed directly from the platforms that
are built from the factory. The ears
of three great trunk lines can be put
on the track at these platforms and
loaded without any hauling. The
same is true of all freight that ar
riyes.
The Moline Wagon company has
been under practically the same man
agemcnt for forty years and in that
time il has built up a reputation for
the reliability of its business trans
actions that is not exceeded by that
of any other company in the country.
Its managers have felt that the best
goods. coupled with business meth
DDS on which every customer could
depend implicitly would make their
business succeed. and this faith has
been amply justified by the results.
They have sold and are now selling
goods in every state and territory
west of Pennsylvania. Their trade
extends to Cuba on the south and to
Manitoba on the north and there is
an extensive foreign trade now being
fostered which promises to be very
large.
The factory is one of which the To-
cality is proud and which people are
pleased to see grow. 1t has never
had trouble with it's men, but the
men have worked with the managers
to make the institution the best in
the country.
The entire ground occupied by the
company is something more than
twelve acres, u good part of which is

bringing the word Moline" as exhib-
tied on every farm wagon made by it,
into its present great fame as the To-
cation of the largest manufacturers
of farm implements and allied pro-
ducts. and that only of the very best
quality.
The history of the company dates
back To the early SOS. 1t was in a
small frame shop that the founder
of it, with few hired men piled his
trade as wheelwright. making only
the few wagons that were needed in
the immediate vicinity. They were
well made wagons, as they are now,
and their fame brought orders from
the adjoining counties and as their
fame increased. from other states,
until the limited capacity of the shop
was taxed to its utmost in what was

turc of lis wagons, the yards and
sheds being filled with an enormous
stock Of the finest grades of hard
wood, that best adapted for superior
wagon making. Much of this has
been c;-+ried for years in the sheds
for the purpose of seasoning, and be-
fore being piled away it is thorough
ly inspected. When it is taken from
the sheds for use in the shop it is
again inspected, and during the pro-

The loss. however, of the late hon
ored head of the company has not in
terrupted the tide of success which
constantly attended his management.
The conduct of its affairs has fallen
into able and competent hands who,
in addition to their personal abilities,
have received the benefit of his in
struction and example, as is manifest
in the ever-increasing volume of bust

been rewarded.

oughly complete and economical sys-
tenn enables n saving of big item of
expense that can be put into the
quality of the wagon.
FIFTY YEARS OF BUSINESS.
In the fifty years of business cN-
-istence of this company, they have
never experienced any dissension with
their men. but the most cordial rela-
tions exist between employer and en-
ployes-some of the latter are men
that were identified with the early
days of this institution all and
everyone are tremendously cooperat-
ing in the attainment of single pur-
Pose-the success of the highest run
ming and most durable" wagon on
earth-1he New Moline.
The growth of this plant is shown
by the fact that three times within
the past Is months the company has
been compelled to provide larger IA
cilities to meet the growing demand
for the work, one of the additions be-
ing the securing of the former Union
Malleable Iron company's site and
large buildings, adjoining the wagon
works.
One. of the things which has been
responsible for the success of the
concern has been that the company
manufactures only one grade, and
that the best farm wagon made, and
are the largest producers in this
country of one particular grade of
farm wagon. The company has a
large amount of capital invested in

CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT.
An extended system of railway
trackage places the lumber and 9th
err material direct from the cars-into
the yards and warehouses. and from
there into the works, and the finished
stock into the cars from the ware
houses. without the slightest hauling
whatsoever. The buildings are all
brick structures, those in which the

invention, are operated by the best of
intelligent and highly paid labor. and
others reserved as warehouses for the
large quantities of raw material and
finished goods. and are located ac-
cording to early laid and closely car

AHEAD OF COMPETITORS.
The wagon company has always
kept pace with the progress of the
times and in fact has always been
quite bit ahead of competitors, in
Producing new and original methods
for the Improvement of the product
of the factory and adding new ideas
in vehicle making that others have
failed to grasp. Many of these are
proving useful appliances and various
strengthening devices for the purpose
of extending the life and usefulness
of the vehicles have been adopted.
The name Moline" is conspicuously
painted on the side of the box of each
wagon. and this has carried the name
of this great city over the entire
country, so that the fame of the Mo-
line Wagon is linked with that of the
farm implements from this city. and
it is largely due to Moline wagons
that the reputation of Moline has
been spread broadcast. The output
of the wagon works, and the name
Moline with it. goes to all of the
United States, Canada and Mexico,
and the reputation for high-class

Will Stop Brand Frauds.

Members of the territorial live stock sanitary board propose to put stop to the unlawful use of cattle brands throughout Arizona, says the Tucson Post, and hereafter it will be necessary for applicants for brands toprove that they have some thing else besides a horse, a saddle and a rope to get possession of a brand. It has come to light that irresponsible parties have been de- frauding their neighbors by securing a brand and then proceed to the range and take possession of all un- branded cattle and mavericks in sight By this means they would soon become possessed of a quantity of cattle.
 At the last meeting the board took up this matter and after discussing it thoroughly decided that in order to check the frauds by these irrespon- sible parties they must, by affidavit and otherwise, show that they are in actual possession of cattle, and that they are the bona fide owners of the same, to secure brand adver- Using. It was also decided that hereafter all brands asked for would be advertised for two consecutive weeks in some newspaper in order to give the cattlemen and others a chance to protest in case there IS a chance of any fraud about to be perpetrated-
 Secretary Harrison was instruct ed to prepare list of the inspec- ton districts for each of the mem bers of the board, SO that they might become familiar with the work and able to appoint responsible inspec- tors.
