the greater volume of business made
possible by the increased facilities"
Equipment Not Yet Bought.
While the contracts have been let
for most Of the buildings planned.
there are still inquiries in the trade
for much In the way of machine tools
and general machinery equipment, and
it is thought that it will be several
months before the buying viii be en-
tirely completed.
Only recently the company placed an
order with a prominent machine tool
builder for $4,000 worth of electric
travelling cranes. which is said to be
the largest order of the kind ever
given in this country, and additional
buying, it is expected, will be done
for the Dunkirk and Schenectady plants,
where buildings are now in course of
erection. These include the construc-
tion of a tank shop, 1S5xs23 feet and
tank paint house at the Brooks plant
at Dunkirk A machine shop is also
to be erected there and this will be
1S5x600 feet. In all about 100000 will
be spent at Dunkirk. and the plans of
the company are to divide the rest Of
the S3,500,O0O appropriation between
the Schenectady, Pittsburg and Rich
mond plants.
Confined 10 Engine Tanks.
The Richmond plant, where some
steam shovels have been manufactured,
will be again used almost entirely for
the construction of locomotives and,
perhaps, tanks, while the Rogers plant
at Paterson, N j.. will be utilized for
the manufacture of most of the con-
tractors equipment turned out by the
company. The machine tool trade has
already had large amount of busi-
ness from this source, and the buying
of the company has gone a great way
toward imparting to the general ma
chinery trade healthy tone for some
time past.-Iron Age.

Statement Looks Significant.
This is regarded the most sig
nificant statement made by Watson
since the election last fall. and 1t is
believed that it indicates that Watson
is seriously considering the idea of
again being candidate for the nom
ination for governor. He has not made
any definite statement on the subject,
unless the one which he made in
speech at Indiana university a few
days after the election can be taken
as a positive declaration. At that time
Watson was reported as saying that
/ he would again be a candidate for the
nomination for governor in 1912.

way of machine tools and general ma

will ultimately be necessary to reim-
