CAR BUILDING BOOM
IN MONTREAL WORKS
New York Capitalists interested In the
New simplex Company.

There promises to be Il spirited COM
petition in railway car construction IN
Montreal at an early date. a few
months ago there was organized the
Canada Car company, with capital
OF 100000. which has already spent
about million dollars In works at
Cote, St. Paul. These have now started
operations. and it is said that 100 men
are at work on large contracts for new
ears that have been placed with them
by the Grand Trunk just been there
has organized another car construction
company-the Simplex, which is de-
veopment Of the Simplex Railway
Equipment company that has been in
operation here for several years and
that has supplied a great deal of con-
struction material. chiefly the mechnical
device known to car builders as holsters,
for the Canadian Pacific railroad.
This company is to branch forth into
the contraction OF steel cars, and its
promoters are Chicago and New York
as well as Canadian capitalists The
capital with which it begins operations
is 100000. but this will be increased
from time to time. The works are to be
erected in Montreal West. and it is
expected that they will give employ
mcnt to about 400 men.
Tho Canada Car company intend to
engage in the production of steel as
we'll as ordinary composite cars. but the
Simplex intend to make first feature
OF the steel car, following later with
wooden ones.
The general activity in railway con-
struction opens out a promising prospect
for both companies. and they will doubt
less mean the expenditure of large sums
Of money in the vicinity OF Montreal
that would have gone elsewhere but for
these new establishments.
