The new improvements at the
Highway Trailer factory are fast ap-
preaching completion. The concrete
floor in the big paint shop is laid and
the offices on the street front are about
ready for occupancy. The Office is
surmounted by new staff from which
new flag floats. The foundation
walls for new heating plant to pro-
vide steam heat for the entire factory
are laid, but the setting of the boilers
may be delayed until spring. The i'm
provement more than doubles the floor

| ing structure The best of it all is
| that the business that requires such
extensive features has grown up al
most entirely within the past year.
