Here again, Mr. Lockard dis plays his indomitable will. It must be done. The contract must be secured. The cars must be delivered. Car builders are needed.

The people of this place have reason to congratulate themselves upon the fact that they have an indus try in its midst whose products are in such demand. PROPOSAL.
