GETS 100000 SLICE

South American dollars will help TO
make Wilmington prosperous this

penditure OF Sl.4OO,000 have been
awarded from the Southern continent
to local concerns.
The contracts come from Buenos
Ayres. and are for railroad cars for
the Argentine government. The
benehoiaries are the American Car
and Foundry Company and the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Corporation. The
Harlan and Hollingsworth corpor-
alton has obained q contract OF S400,
600, and the American Car and
Foundry Company has received con-
tract worth si,O0OO0O.
The complete contract Of the Har-
Ian and Holllngsworth Corporation
Will. of course, be filed at the local
shops. How much OF the contract
would be filled AZ the local shops OF
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany could not be ascertained this
morning.
William G. Coke. president OF the

alton. said this morning that. al
/ though the corporation had definitely
obtained the contract, details were
yet to be arranged. and be could not
tell how many cars were to be con-
struoted by the corporation. Tho
contract would not necessitate the
employment OF more men, he declared

Charles H. Sheriff., American min
lister at Buenos Ayres, has advised

Of these contracts, with favorable
comment on the fact that the Argen
