What Prominent Brokerage Man
Thinks Of Roswell Freight Rates.
George W. Reilly of the Wichita
Brokerage Company was a recent Wis
itor to the Valley This firm deals In
merchandise, grain and produce ir
car lots only and is one of the largest
brokerage firms in that section Of
Kansas. This was Mr.. Reilly's first
visit to Roswell He said 81 am sur
prised and pleased with this wonder
full country. To think that 1t is yet
in its infancy is truly marvellous. The
only thing that can keep the country
down is the terrifically high freight
rates. These constitute a Chinese
wall around Roswell, as it were. and
this wall must be removed There
must be a new railroad, or you must
make the present railroad come to
time by some means. The railroad
would be benefited as much as the
people, as there would be vast in
crease in business and the people
would be stimulated to raise more
products for the outside Mr.. Reilly
is the father of f. A. Reilly of this
city who is connected with the Cuda-
ny Packing Company.
