MOTOR FACTORY PROJECT
Large Foreign Enterprise DESTROYS Of
Locating at Waterloo.

H + .
Waterloo, Aug. ia syndicate of
west side capitalists has been APP
preached by an outside party who has
invented, completed and demonstrated
a motor car suitable for handling both
freight and passenger traffic on either
steam or electric railways. The gem
tleman who has developed this inven-
ton is known as a man Of practical
ideas, and has the confidence of those
having the capital necessary to launch
business of this character. The mat
ter is about ready for the considera-
ton of the executive committee Of the
chamber of commerce, and no doubt
will be acted upon in short time.
The concern has already been offered
a site and buildings at other points as
an inducement for the location of the
enterprise, but the city of Waterloo
will undoubtedly do all that is neces-
sary to secure what would be a very
valuable addition to it's already extern
sive factory interests. The projectors
of the enterprise will guarantee to en-
ploy about 200 men from the start. and
it is hoped that Waterloo will live up
to its reputation of not allowing any
substantial available enterprise of this
character to be located at any other
point.
