Reverently standing in the pres

so broad that he does not believe in

In the meantime the plant has been
completely overnauled. Some of the
old machinery has been thrown out and
has been replaced with new and up-to-
date machinery. The whole plant has
been re-arranged. and when it is COM
pleted it will have capacity of seven
ty-fve tons a day. The capacity of the
old plant was sixty tons a day. ac-
cording to the builders estimate. but
in reality it had hardly half OF that
capacity.
AS far the patrons of the com
pany were concerned they are not af-
fected by the shutdown, because the
company, owning the Hammond pure
ice plant, also owns the Lake County
Ice and Cold Storage company of East
Chicago. which produces artificial ice
and because of this II was possible tc
supply the Hammond patrons from
East Chicago
There are also several thousand tons

emergency.

Conditions are still favorable TO the
realization of the promise held out by
the developments of the past three
months, namely, of a year of wider
activity than. The severely cold wealth
er since the middle Of December has
to some extent. and especially in rail-

check. The volume of business how

cago, who passed through Hammond
in an automobile en- route for Indian
apolfs late Tuesday night reached their
destination last night and pulled off an
unheard of feat in autoing, making a
run hub deep in mud and then body
deep in snow in some of the worst
roads in the state.
The incentive for speed in covering
ground between the Windy City and
the Hoosier capital was the necessity
of getting a Staver demonstrating car
upon the streets of Indianapolis before
space in the first annual united show
of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade
association had entirely been gobbled
up by dealers who are already mem
bers In the association.
o. b. Jameson is about to announce
that he has closed with the Staver peo-
pie to establish an agency in Indian
apolis, and it was his desire TO get a
car here and take membership In the
T. A. T. A. this week in order to give
him an opportunity to display the Chi
cago-made motor car In the first Indi-
annapolis automobile show.
