 promoted it and became vice-president.
 During the .Irst fiscal year, the company
 increased by one-third the size and equip
 ment of its plant at Patterson, N. J.;
 built new erection works, extended the l boiler shops and established a capacity | for building one locomotive for each
 working day in the year. All of this
 was paid for out of the current earnings. | The company now employees fifteen hun 1 dred men, and has payroll of S40000 a l week. It has contracts for locomotives
 for one year ahead, and is taking orders
 for deliveries to be made in the spring of
 1904 But this magnificent achievement | does not fill the measure of his success
 or limit the fields of his achievements.
 In the world of finance and industrial
 activity, men like Norton are always in demand for new performances where skill, energy and capacity are required. He has taken hold, and is reorganizing the Columbus Lima, Milwaukee railway ' which has been in the courts for years.~ He proposes to improve the road and ex- tend it. Such work Is what makes a
