branch We are now in a position to
give our cars the care and cOnsidera-

10 meet the great demands the capital
stock of the company has been in
creased from 100000 TO $1,000, 000
which is considered TO be nearer the
value of the plant than the former
amount.

month ago, and the foundation is be-
249 feet. two stories in height As
soon as this is completed, still another
building OF the same size will be
