STEVE ALWAYS THERE WHEN TRAIN PULLS IN

Steve Bruanahan Has Only Missed Milk Train Four Times In Twenty Years.

Steve. Brusnal.an, cf Parr, was one of the first farmers to ship milk to Chicago when the train was put on through the efforts -of Uncle Alfred McCoy twenty years ago. Every morning he takes a load of milk to the train from his farm near Parr, and during the twenty years he has been hauling milk to the train, he has only missed the train four times, and on those occasions he was sick. On one occasion his harness broke just as he was pulling in and while he was a short distance away. The train men saw his plight and held the train until he could repair the harness and transfer his load to the train. The trainmen all know Steve and would greatly miss him should he quit hauling milk.
