The public is manifesting great in- terest in the Maxey Steel Railroad Tie and dozens of people are daily visiting the office of R. E. l.. Maxey at TIA 1-2 Central avenue to see the model. In the language of a promI- nent railroad man, Tt is one of the greatest inventions of the age and will, he says, create complete revo- luton in railroad construction throughout the United States.
 Col. s. w. Fordyce, after a care ful examination of the model stated unhesitatingIy that it possessed more merit than anything of the kind he had ever seen. To use his exact lan- guage, he said: T have seen a great many models for railroad ties, but none possess the merits shown 5y your model. think it is all right but have practical test made of it on the road bed of prominent rail- road system and If successful, you will have easy sailing"
 Chief engineer of the Birmingham and Southeastern railroad, with head quarters ot Eufaula, Ala, after a careful examination of the Steel Railway Tie, stated, T think the Tie is entirely practicable and see no reason why it should not supplant the wooden Tie now in use. I am espec- ially pleased with the rail bearing feature of the tie. because the heavy part of 1t is under the rail seat where it belongs. It is by far the best thing of the kind l have ever seen."
 MT. McKinzie has been connected with the Birmingham and South western Railroad as Chief Engineer for ten years.
 The prospectus, descriptive of this tie, is just out in the shape of neat folder which may be seen at the of flee of R. E. l.. Maxey. It contains full information of the tie.
