- 1Q WIN NETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919 RAILROAD BRINGS FARMERS SERVICE Electric Railway Gives Farmers Ex- ceptional Service in Bringing Beet and Cabbage Crop to Markets How the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee FElectric railroad is to bring railroad service right to the farmer's door in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin agricultural sections is told in the current issue of the North Shore Bulletin by Luke Grant, the editor. "Farmers like everyone else, want to get service, and are willing to pay for it," says Mr. Grant, "The North Shore line runs through a fine farming section in Wisconsin, where they grow sugar beets and cabbages and: onions and all sorts of things. When the time comes to harvest those crops, the farmers quite natur- ally wish to get their beets to the sugar refineries as quickly as pos- sible. In the past they got promises mostly when what they really need- ed was cars. This year they put in their own weighing scales at three points on the North Shore line be- tween Kenosha and Racine and left it to the North Shore line to get the cars. "It gave the farmers the best serv- ice in shipping their sugar beets and cabbages that they ever had. They are willing to admit it. We don't know how many tons of beets and things the North Shore line handled and it really isn't so important. The thing that is important is that the farmers got all the railroad cars that they needed, that they got them when they were needed, and that they were handled with the expedition and effi- ciency for which the North Shere line is noted. "Where were the beets hauled to? Well, some of them went to Madison and Menominee, Wis., some went down in Illinois and some cars of cabbages went to Kansas City. Of course, the Nerth Shore line can't haul them to those places, because it doesn't run there. It hauled them to Racine, where they were turned over to the steam railroads. "Thisiwork was in the nature of a new départure for the North Shore line.. | BENJAMIN E. GAGE IS NOW IN CONTROL OF BRIDGES & GAGE Benjamin FE. Gage has bought a controlling interest in the automo- bile firm of Bridges & Gage and C. E. Bridges, former president, has sold his entire interest in the firm. The transaction was made public the latter part of last week. The new company has not yet com- pleted its organization and at present it is retaining the name of Bridges & Gage. The officers have not yet been elect- ed. Those who own stock in the company in addition to Mr. Gage are N. H. Pearson, head of the sales or- ganization; H. A. Thompson, cashier; Earl Asher, shop superintendent; E. QO. Austin of the legal firm of Holt, Cutting & Sidley; Robert Leffingwell of the Leffingwell Drug company; Thomas J. Foley, contractor, and B. S. Gage of the Peterson nursery. The company will deal in Franklin and Studebaker cars. Prompt and efficient service will be the policy of the new company and the shop organization will be 1 still more efficient when ra tem, according to a statement today by Mr. Gage. When Mr. Gage bought an interest | im the firm nine months ag were three mechanics in the ser department and one employe, a sten ographer in the front ofhce. the organization, without counting officers, consists of a cashier, a sten- ographer, a shop superintendent, a stick clerk and ten mechanics. BRITISH RAIL STRIKE GAVE TRUCK A CHANCE Motor trucks for fast and heavy transport is the one hig lessons British business men have learned as the result of the national railway strike. Distances between large in- dustrial areas in England are insig- nificant when compared te those in the United States. The average long journey is not more than 200 miles. Roads are excellent. The strike gave the motor truck its chance. The only drawback was that there were too few such trucks. The government, in order to help feed London, had to get a rush shipment of trucks from its war stores in France. Before the strike motor trucks were, never 4d to get goods to London from Birmingham, 113 miles by rail. And that in the face of the fact the usual freight transport time was three weeks! Motor trucks made delivery in one day. Now traffic experts are saying that slow or congested railways will be superseded by efficient motor lorries, which in many cases have proved to be even cheaper than railway trans- port, figuring cartage at either end. 1, 1 us By Oe oOo Bu Bo 10 ob 0670-620 670-6%4%¢ VN VT aXe a Xa Xa X C038 005850 a aX a Cg CE f a ) D0 470 0% 0% o% 0% as oo 0% oP 0 0, 858505858 SRE Sa a aX a Xa X P. 9, ot 2% & 7 + 9, Na * @, * rs a? % @, 9 47%? 062 9% 0, 9, 4 ¢ *, 0 9, Ld 7 ® £2 0, (a) ~ For One Week Only DE RR P, 2 £2 sole 04, 9, * ob A858 0 4% 9, £) 00.04, £2 £2 9, 0, A Xa X 9, (a) 7 $6.99, 9, Cal \/ XS * rpm IT TE TT EEE EEE EE EE EE EE EE ve Pre-Inventory oO, 0 0 0 CAXAXE Xa Xa Xd ¥, a + 7 (a 9, (4 7 $0 Bo 00 BD DCEXTX NIN 0S SE SG OW A WS DR Gn SR ES BS SE Re SN SE TN ES RS GE ON EDA NE ES NR EE NN ON NE NS RN OC 0 NN DEO EX SD GN 9, 7 8 ae) 4, £2 J (4 &% / ro, &. 9, SaXaXe £2 (2 4 d, * 7 aXe) Sale of Cars 9, 0, x va Co XaXaX aX + &, axa) 9, >, J 00 00 100 80 8. 8, XEXEREXTRIXEXD + 9, (a 7 * 9, £2 Ca Xara) 7 i 4 $9, @. & \/ v 7 Ou of, Kaa * C7 * "Used but not abused?" a) oo X 7 % 4 NOR aa 0420-4 OR XaXg L 2 2 RC) £4 *, (4 R/ 2 (a) 7 $0.09, d * 0 * 7 £4 \/ * rade ale edded 26% 42 ®, + &, 9, KS * 9, £4 TX 9, x £4 9», (4 $9.04, Save money by seeing us 7 * &, be Ga o®, (2 $6, 94.90.00.9 £4 + &, @, 0, 9 / 350 agp agr foal £4 betore buying elsewhere ©, £2 $<, ®, £2 9, &, Oo. 9. aia £4 Ca) 9. £2 + a v & 9, KOK Po? %> 9%, 0 * a Xd @, P, ® 0% £4 3 C4 RA SA 9 8) 0p $s CIXEX RII) XIE 24, & 2 Ox > &, Xa) £2 4, + SA 2 Xa) +4, © 4 Sa) J £2 +, 6, ®. > Sv, 7 £4 Bridges & Gage ~ Franklin and Studebaker Cars 1629 Orrington Avenue Phone Evanston 633 al RJ 4 Ca) A £2 9, aXe) &, 0.
