Thru; E. J. Heimar, fanner McHenry young man, and a product of the McHenry high school, who is now acting in the rapacity of secretary of the Barrett-Cravens company of Chicago, the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co. has recently installed in its plant at Terra Cotta a number of the Barrett lift trucks. The truck today is, a standard equipment in more than eighteen thousand plants thruout the United States and so successful has the truck proven . to the Terra Cotta plant since its initial installation a short time ago that the company has seen fit to place orders for additional ones, the most recent one having been purchased last Saturday. With the Barrett lift truck all that unnecessary piling and repiling, loading and unloading of material are absolutely eliminated and consequently a great saving in time, money and labor results. It permits one man to accomplish the work requiring four or five men using the old four wheel trucks and in addition One man can easily handle as much as two and onehalf tons of material without undue effort. The truck, while new to the Terra Cotta plant, is not a late invention, aB the device has nt>w been manufactured by the Chicago concern for ten years. Mr. Heimer has been with the company for several years and his position with the concern gives evidence of the success he has enjoyed.
