Now that the b. F. Goodrich Com

completed as all the larger producers
and nearly all the smaller concerns

When this column stated over a
month ago that such action would be

several semi-denials issued. Investiga-
ton had revealed that producers were
at war cutting prices on all big con-
tracts from automobile manufacturers
and dealers.
Naturally this unsettled the in

prices all round. The ultimate effect
will be beneficial, as the industry can
now go ahead on a solid foundation.

SALISBURY ICE PLANT
TO DOUBLE CAPACITY
Plans for a 20-TOn Plant Have Been
Perfected and Work of Enlarge
ment Will Begin Soon.

Plans have been made and work
will be started soon to double the ca
pacity of. the plant of the Salisbury
Sanitary Ice and Supply Company.
The plans were approved at a meet
ing of the directors Monday night.
! When the work is completed Sails
bury will have plant capable of
providing 20 tons of ice daily, and It
will be the largest plant between
Kansas City and st. Louis, on the
Wabash, excepting only two, one IN
Moberly and the other in st. Charles.
The work will begin as soon as the
rush of the present season is over.
The plans call for an additional build
ing of 40x30 on the north side of tho
present plant, and an adequate equip
ment of the very latest machinery.
1t will be ready for operation next
spring.
The present plant was built and
began business in 1914, and at that
time the capacity was thought to be
ample to meet the needs of the com
munity, in fact, many thought the
plant was too large. But the busi-
ness grew from season to season, un-
til the last few years the plant has
been unable to supply the demand,
and this year the demand so far ex-
ceeded the supply that the directors
felt that the enlargement of the plant
was imperative. The plant is now
supplying ice to a territory within
the radius of fifteen to twenty miles.
Harry Jacobs, the manager of the
plant is naturally very proud of the
plants success, and we congratulate
him upon his splendid management
of the institution that is credit 10

SALISBURY ROBBERY
SATURDAY NIGHT

Last Saturday night the clothing
and furniture store of Stamper g
Bros, of Salisbury was broken into
by burglars who gained admittance
by the cellarway and forcing an in
side door on the ground floor.
1t is not known what time the work
was one, but the men made a good
job of it, and made their get away.
The safe in the store was not lock-
ed, although the money drawyer was
under lock and key. This drawer was
forced and $50 in cash was taken, the
thieves not wishing to take a chance
on disposing of $3.50 worth of checks
that were in with the cash.
After getting what money there
was in the cash drawer, the went to
the connecting door between the Bell

them change their minds, but they
were probably frightened away. Tie
only other thing that was molested in
the store was coat belonging to one
of the Stamper clerks.
The bloodhounds were brought
from Moberly and they picked up the
scent readily and followed it to the
railroad depot. The dogs were then
again taken to the store and second
time they went directly to the depot
and there all trace was left. 1t is
surmised that the robber or robbers
boarded a train and are long since.

In conversation with Mr.. Stamper

merchandise was taken, the second
