Money from Young Man.

The second chapter OF the A. r. T.
Winjum case was made public prop
erty this morning when John e. Han
son, filed q complaint on notes and
suit to foreclose chattel mortgage. in

association.
The demand made in the complaint

A CAPACITY FORCE
At LOCAL FACTORY
Gaar, Scott Company EN-
ploys $50 Men, Fifty More
Than Ever Before.

Skeptics who have been predicting
that the recent sale of the Gaar; Scott
& company plant to the NJ. Rumely
company of La Porte meant the ulti-
mate abandonment of the big local
shop have been silenced by the an
nouncement that the Gaar, Scott fac
tory is now employing more men than
at any time in it's history.
At the present time there are 750
men working in the local factory. This
is fifty more than ever employed at
the plant at any one time. The work.
ing force is now so large that the ca
pacity o fthe plant has almost been
reached.
One of the main reasons for condi'
tions now existing at the Gaar, Scott
factory is the enormous demand for
oil-pull tractors. manufactured at La
Porte, which. in turn, has greatly slim
ulated the demand for separators, and
a shop order recently placed, it was
learned today, called for, a greater
number of these machines than were
ever made at one time in the local
shops
Conditions here are duplicated al
the three other factories of the NJ
Rumely company, at La Porte. Battle
Creek and Toronto, all Of which are
running to capacity.
The Gaar, Scott plant is the only
factory O fthe NJ. Rumely company
manufacturing saw mills, supplying
the demand of all four factories. This
is another reason why the local plant
is now one of the busiest factories in
Indiana.
1t is probably true that more fac
tory workers have been given employ
ment in Richmond this winter thar
any other city its size in the country
Gaar, Scott and company is one Of the
few manufacturing concerns in the
state now operating with a capacity
force. consequently the prediction tina,
it's sale to the Rumely company would
be an injury to the city is no longer
being made.
