At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the Fargo Commercial club
and the head officials of the Pitcher
Manufacturing Co. Of Minneapolis,
held late yesterday, the final decision
was made on the part of that company
to remove it's entire plant from Min
neapolis to Fargo.
The Pitcher Manufacturing Co. is a
we'll established concern, Incorporated
under the state laws Of Minnesota for
S250,000, which manufactures the
Pitcher shock loader This machine,
have tried it, some of them prominent
Cass county men, is one of the most
practical labor saving devices for the
farm that have. even been invented. It
Is the invention Of a North Dakota
man, Elmer Pitcher, formerly of YER
ona, N. D., and now president of the
corporation. .-..
Mr.. Pitcher and Elmer Strom, an
other of the head officials of the com
pany, We're here to consult with the
commercial club and are still in the
city. They expect to give demon
stration Of the shock loader in the
vicinity of Fargo in a few days and
full details of the demonstration will
be published in The Forum. The time
and place will also be announced be-
fore the demonstration. ,...
The shock loader works something
on the order of the old time road grad
Eer which had a piow and an endless
belt apron to carry the dirt from the
ditch to the center of the road, except
that: in the shock loading machine the
conditions are just reversed There
are two endless belts. One travels

N ADOO TO
DISTRIBUTE:
BIG FUNDS
Secretary Of Treasury Is New
Prepared
Distributes Funds to Agricul-
tural Regions
Will Take Commercial Paper
for Security

Washington, Aug. SECRETARY Nc
Adoo is prepared to distribute the
promised $25,oOO,0O0 to $5o,0oo.00O of
government funds to the agricultural
regions of the south and west.
The secretary is collecting informa-
tion regarding the relative needs of
each section where harvesting is now
under way or soon to begin and ex-
poets to have money in the banks in
ample time for the movement of the
crops.
The treasury officials are confident
the secretary's plans will be a power
ful factor in averting or relieving the
prospective tightness of money
characteristic of the crop moving sea
son.
Much interest is manifested in the
secretary's announcement of his will
ingness to receive prime commercial
paper as security for deposits. This
innovation marks the governments
first participation in the commercial
market.

Pitcher Mfg. Co. Will
Move the Entire Plant
From Minneapolis Here
VIII Manufacture Shock Loader, Invention Of North Dakota
Man, and Great Labor Saver for the Farmers
The Company Has Already Made Large Number Of Machines
..@~ and tt Is Practical Success
Final Decision to Come to Fargo Was Made Late Yesterday
at Meeting Of Executive Committee

alongside the wagon in which the
grain is to be loaded, slips under the
shock and, picking the entire shock up
bodily, just as it stands in the field
and without tipping 1t, carries it along
to another endless belt that takes the
whole shock UP to the wagon.
A four horse team and one man can
work the machine. and it saves a vast
amount of labor, doing away entirely
with all bundle handling in the field.
The best feature about the shock load
er is that as it picks up the shock
without tipping it over, no grain is
lost in the process. and it is a grain
saver for the farmer.
One Cass county man wrote to the
Fargo Commercial club and stated
that the machine had saved him ST.
500 last year in labor.
The machine is built entirely of
steel and the plant which the Pitcher
Manufacturing Co. own in Minneapolis
and will transfer to Fargo. is complete
in every detail for making the entire
machine. They have all the machinery
and make every part with the excep-
tion Of two wheels, which they find
they can buy cheaper in quantities
than they can make them. The ma
chine, which includes the wagon, sells
for $500 and farmer will save the
price of one in q. season.
This is the largest manufacturing
enterprise secured for the city this
year and the. commercial club is to
be congratulated on securing it.
The company expects to use about
six acres of land for buildings and
trackage and will build as soon as a,
location is secured.
