Winamac Democrat. A deal was completed a few days ago whereby C. L. Bader became the entire Winamac Bridge company, he taking over all of the stock or interest held by George and John Frain and M. M. Hathaway, who, theretofore were members of the firm. Mr. Bader has leased the building and will continue business at the old stand. Of course, he is to go ahead with existing contracts, as well as those secured or to be secured since the deal. In addition to the big bridge over the river in the south edge of this county, he now has contracts for thirty or more smaller ones, a number of them in North Dakota, where the company built quite a hunch of bridges two or three years ago. These contracts require a lot of tons of material, which is beginning to arrive, and will be worked up and erected as rapidly as may be. George Frain will continue to do the lathe work at the factory, as he has done ever since the company hegan business. - * ’* Laporte is preparing for the entertainment of the annual convention of the Indiana Optical association, which will meet in that city in August.
