An Echo of the Winamac Bridge Company.

Winamac Journal: Representatives of the Scully Steel & Iron company of Chicago were here this week looking after the work of shipping out part of the machinery of the old bridge plant. A large part of the machinery, tools and material has been purchased by Frank Williams, who expects to operate a bridge factory here, as soon as a suitable location can be found. Mr. Williams got possession of most all of the necessary machinery, etc., to operate a plant, and consequently the. only material shipped back to Chicago by Scullys will be some odds and ends, not absolutely required for Mr. Williams’ new factory. Frank expects to temporarily move the machinery into the old tabernacle building and in the spring build a cement block structure on the ground now occupied by Warren McCollister’s two houses on South Burson street and the Panhandle tracks, this location giving the company an outlet for switching purposes.
