The Day in Davenport

! New Company Buys Woodall
Plant.-The Blackhawk Foundry &
Machine company, a newly formed
corporation with a capital stock of
$4,000, has bought the Woodall
Manufacturing company's property
at Indian road and Clark street, and
will vastly improve the same.
While separate organization,
the Blackhawk Foundry & Machine
company is closely allied with the
Voss Bros. Manufacturing company
and the H. F.. Brammer Manufac-
turing company. Its officers are:
President-Walter X. Voss.
Vice president-Howard W. Pow
er.
Secretary-Henry Hubers.
Treasurer-Harry F. Voss.
The above officers, with the addi-
ton of W. L. Voss. William Hubers
and Edward F. Voss, constitute the
board of directors.
Naturally the names of the Voss
and Brammer companies suggest
the idea of washing machines.
Coupling the Blackhawk Foundry
& Machine company with these two
concerns not only signifies wash
ing machines too. but more wash
ing machines. The acquisition OF
this company means a larger out
put for both factories.
For some time both companies
have been Handicapped and their
output limited by their inability to
secure castings from outside con-
Germs in sufficient quantities to
meet their demand. Hereafter this
shortage in castings will be sup
piled by the Blackhawk Foundry
& Machine company.
The property purchased by the
new company covers an area BOOK
800 feet. 1t contains brick build
ing 50x200 feet in dimensions.
This building will be remodeled and
additions erected thereto. 1t will
contain a first class foundry and
other new equipment will be added.
Here the Voss and Brammer COM
pany will make their own castings.

Peace w. w. Scott yesterday that

A fine Of $50 and costs was i'm
posed by the court, after Assistant
County Attorney Realff Ottesen had
made an unsuccessful attempt to
have the defendant committed to
Jail. He demanded that Jail sen
tence instead Of a fine be imposed
| in the case. The demand was denied
| by the court.
Information charging Vale with
short weighing two loads OF coal
ordered delivered to poor families
by the poor committee Of the coun'
ty board were flled by the county
attorneys ONCE following an In
