tions at Bristol.
Something like one half of the
investment was held by local
stockholders and the balance tax
en- by either Mr.. Young of Pueblo
or The Iron City Lumber Co.,
with whom he is connected. This
is the same company who circu-
larized this part of the country
with their literature featuring
the low prices they were offering,
but so for as we are able to learn,
none of Holly's farmers fell for it.
The plan as outlined, and to
which the local stockholders sub
scribed, was cheap lumber and
building material. For time
this worked very we'll, but now
comes the announcement to cred
ltors that the Eastern Colorado
Lumber Co. has been adjudicated
bankrupt. A meeting of the
creditors will be held in Pueblo
some time during this month. At
this meeting it will be determin-
ed how near the assests of the
company will go towards paying
off its liabilities and what, if any
thing, will be returned to the
stockholders who subscribed to
Mr.. Young's scheme.

"FoRDS" ARE CHEAPER

Vic VI Tie iloSL important an
nouncements ever made by an
automobile manufacturer was
made last week by Henry Ford,
the maker of the most popular
cars in the United States.
All makes of the Ford cars,
which are already the lowest in
price of reliable cars, were cut
500 on the car, with the guarantee
that should the Ford factory make
an output of 300, 600 cars before
August lst, 1915. a further re-
duction of $40 will be allowed
every purchaser of car during
that time. this refund to be made
direct to the purchaser and
most complete record to be kept
by all dealers.
AS the Ford production is at
the present far above the 200, 900
mark per year it seems more than
likely that this production will
be reached. The Ford factory
can at the present turn out cars
faster than any other factory in
the world.
The H.-B. garage, which hand
les the Ford car in this district
will undoubtedly have a large in
crease of business during the COM
ing year, though this garage has
no doubt in the past year sold
more Fords than any other
garage in towns of like size to
this one.
