IL is n recognized fact that the Con-
soldated Wagon & Machine company
handles fully 80 per cent Of the hay,
grain and other farmers produce
shipped out of the Snake River valley.
The wonderful success of the Idaho

the efforts of Mr.. G.. @. Wright, man.

Power City and who ever since has
been at its head. Prior TO that Mr..
Wright was in the oompany's employ
at Ogden, Utah.

dated Wagon & Machine company,
This is the largest Touring mill In the
