Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 April 1904 — HORSE STOCKS FACTORY WILL MOVE. [ARTICLE]

HORSE STOCKS FACTORY WILL MOVE.

Papers were signed last week that has permamently decided the location of the Barcus Horse Stocks Co. According to contract they will move to Wabash, by July Ist, that city having offered them-a subsidy of S3,OCX). They will move into the Star Manufacturing Plant, recently purchased by them, and will continue the manufacture of horse stocks and will also manufacture gasoline engines in connection therewith. A number of those at present employed with the company will move to Wabash with their families, we understand, and although the Barcus Co., while not being overplus in immensity, their moving away from Rensselaer will be much regretted and the outlook is tbat the concern will rapidly increase in size and the losing of Rensselaer's only factory will be quite a blow to the city’s commerce.
