his 10000 tons Of stel rails ordered of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company made
in the North, where all his rails were
made before, is a story circulated in

Mr.. Hartman some time ago, in anger
az the style of rails that had been given
his roads by the corporation mills. took
his order for 10000 tons of open-hearth
rails to the Birmingham plants.
