Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 May 1906 — ABOUT THAT NEW BUSS. [ARTICLE]

ABOUT THAT NEW BUSS.

A few months ago there was a good prospect of another buss line being established in Rensselaer, and the parties went so far as to order a new rubber tired buss and pay SSO down with the order as a guarantee of good faith. Soon after placing the order one of the parties is reported to have stated that he bad been paid SIOO to drop the proposition, which he did, and the other party who wanted to go ahead in the matter, but who could not devote his own time to it, was unable to find a suitable man to take the other’s place. Consequently the proposition seems to be dead at the present time so far as either of these parties are concerned It is stated that enough Rensselaer people came to these parties when it became known that they contemplated starting another buss line to guarantee them $196 worth of cash ride tickets to start on, which shows the popular feeling in the matter. There is certainly a mighty good opening here for a man with a little money to purchase a good outfit, and with ordinary push and energy, to enf;age in the buss business, and it is ikely someone will takb hold of the proposition ere long.
