THE new MACHINE SHOPS
A Credit to san Angelo That Adds
Mrch to the Stability of
the Town.

On Concho avenue few doors
east of the Landon hotel is
solid-looking concrete building
50X1O0 feet and two stories high.
with a large basement. This
building was constructed for a
machine shop, carriage reposl-
tory and mandatory of vehicles,
and that it is we'll suited to the
purposes for which it was made.
only a casual observance during
working hours will prove con-
vincing.
Few people but are interested
in the inspection of a factory of
this kind, and perhaps a large
majority will be interested in
brief outline of the place. A
Press man having been given an
intere sting description of the
place by q fellow worker, felt
constrained to make a personal
inspection and, needless to say,
was repaid for the few moments
spent in watching the machinery
and busy workmen turning out
different kinds of jobs to the
number of some half dozen.
The power that moves the ma
chinery is q big S-horse-power
Slower Gasoline engine, set on a
solid foundation of concrete and
running so smoothly that it at
once challenges the admiration
and wonder of the spectator. The,
gasoline engine has been devel.
oped to a high state of perfection
and the Slower is up to the latest
and possibly the best that is
manufactured at the present
time. This engine connects by
belt to big, power shaft which
extends almost the entire length
of the building and has nine pull
leys already attached for propel'
ling different kinds of machines
First of these Is the blower ano
exhaust. This furnishes the blast
for the furnaces which does the
work of the old style hand bel
lows.
The big cold tire shrinker is
another great laborsaver attached
to the power shaft. This ma
chine will set the tires on We

In the front part of the build

chine, and emory stand for keep
ing edged tools sharp.
Under II shed in rear of the
building is the horse stock"
machine to fasten bronchos Sc

the widest horse can be handled
and shod with it with no danger

In addition to the above ma

shaper for woodwork, and II box

on hand for constructing any
kind of vehicle from u road
cart to the finest carriage, or re-
pair them, no matter what kind
of II break they have. lie also
informed us that he had u con-
tract for building large hack,
commonly used by drummers who
travel with heavy loads of trunks,
for prominent livery man of the
city the cost of which will be
$3.50.
At present there are five hands
employed in the adjustment
ana with the labor-saving ma
chinery they can turn out as
much work as two or three times
the number could with the an
tlquated tools commonly used.
Messrs. Findlater IL Copeland,

to anything of the kind IN West
