and made the announcement that
the Texas Traction Company will

The Texas Traction is now un
questionably out of the woods, and,
as published in Wednesday morn

been declared and payment of div
idends from now on is assured, =
Mr. Monroe said. THE acquiring of
the Denison-Sherman company by
the Texas Traction will add greatly
10 its earning capacity and will
prove of great advantage to the trav-
cling public in giving them thru

ton Company is the outcome of an
association formed about six years
ago, and constituting numbe' of

running surveys, which was the only
asset on which the financing of the
road was accomplished.
THE road today is in a flourish
ing and prosperous condition. and
there is every indication that its re-
ceipts are increasing from month to
month.

association that originally formed
the Texas Traction. advanced the
money to do the preliminary work
