CAPITAL STOCK is INCREASED.
Local Firm Prepares to Extend ITS
Field of Operation.

AT q meeting of the stockholders of
the Consolidated Wagon < Machine
companv. held on Monday, Feb. s, the
capitaI stock of the company was in
creased from one and one-half millions
to two and one-half million dollars. The
reason assigned at the meeting for the
increase was the remarkable growth OF
agricultural sections in these mountain
states. thousands upon thousands of
cuitfvable acres having been added
during the past few years. Recently
all the territory from Ashton to Marys-
vile on the St Anthony branch in
northeastern Idaho, to Bull, the ter
minus of the Minidolxa e. Southwest
ern, covering something over three
hundred miles, has been surveyed and
a good portion of it sold to the public
Some two million acres are under irri-
cation from the waters of the Snake
river, and within the past four years
small towns have sprung up which now
contain a population of five thousand
and more Land on the business streets
of these towns is selling as high as $500
per front foot Manager Odell. as well
as other gentlemen who are acquainted
with this section, conservatively pre-
dict that within ten years the popula-
ton in this section will be close to half
a million.
All this means more farms and more
farmers, and naturally more farm i'm
PIGMENTS and vehicles. In addition to
the machinery to be furnished the irri-
gated land owners, there are the needs
of the dry lands farmer to be taken
care of; in satisfying which the Con-
solidated Wagon & Machine company
are more largely interested than any
other concern in these states. Their in
creased capital win permit them to
take good care of the growing demands
for machinery with which to gather in
the enormous crops.
BY careful and conservative methods
this company has builded a business of
no mean proportions, and today its
stock is considered to be among the
most attractive on the market. It
shows a quarter of a century of steady
growth and improvement, with very
satisfactory dividends to all its stock
holders. In addition to a strong or
ganization and the best representative
line of agencies to be had, the Consol-
idated Wagon & Machine company has
secured the good will of the people.
which may be proudly reckoned as an
asset.
The directors of the company have
decided to offer for sale to the stock
holders 5000 shares of the increased
capital stock, pro rata at par. Already
requests are being made for the stock
that will remain after the present
stockholders have been supplied.
