The Register reporter found Geo. p.
SeXauer in a reminiscent mood one
day last week and during his talk he
recalled the size of grain cars when
he first went into the grain business
about thirty years ago. In those days
he said the average car had a capacity
of $4,000 pounds and occasionally you
would find one with a 10000 pound

find a car with 1OO, 900 pounds cap
acity. This is a fair sample of how We
do things now as>compared with thirty
years ago.
