1 he Car Works.
A Hrge party of capitalist? aud rail
road men inspected the Standard Steel
Car Co s 1 lant, Tuesday, and pronounc
ed it the finest of its kind in the country.
"It can't be beat,' said one. The plant
is now completing about fifteen cars
each day. but this will gradually be in
creased to sixty-five, and the orders now
in are enough to keep the plant busy for
a year.
Fifty-five acres are under roof and in
no building, except the power bou-e
proper, is there a steatu line, all power
beiug either electrical, hydraulic or
compressed air. Work was started 011
the foundations on April 14. On August
31st the first completed car was turned
out Throughout the building and
grounds. 4i-miles of railroad track have
been laid.
One of the patty was Charles F.
Schoen, who said he had secured 40
acres adjoining the Car Works lor hi-
Car Wheel Wi r!;s, and expected to be
making the sitae within six months.
' The machinery has practically been
completed at the works of the Bethehem
Iron and Steel company, at South Beth
lehem. You see, tiie machinery requir
ed to press fi car wheel out of a solid
piece of sieel vas necessarily so heavy
that I would not think of erecting a
plant for the making of steel car wheels
until I was sure of the possibility of
having the machinery made that was
needed. Such machinery has now been
constructed and the wheels I designed
have been successfully mad?. That puts
everything out of the experimental
stage, and I am ready to erect the But
ler plant."

THE MOST IMPORTANT
question of the day is why
Newton, "The Piano Man"
can sell a better piano for less
money than anyone else in
Western Pennsylvania.
He represents the wealthiest manu
facturers of Pianos. You pay direct to
them for all the Pianos. The expense
of sidling them is $75 le3s than the
ordinary retail man and you save his
profit, which means to 3*oll .$175 saved.
Prices from $250 to $1,500—10 per cent
off for cash. All pianos fully warrant
ed. My customers are my reference.
Ask them. Call and see me and let me
explain onr easy payment plan.
Yostr credit is good,
