WILL LOCATE BRANCH FACTORY IN GOODLAND

Representatives of the Rensselaer Cement Tile Co. were in Goodland last week and made arrangements to build a cement tile factory on the north side of the Panhandle tracks west of Iroquois street. It was rumored that the C. & E. 1. would abandon the engine track for the use of the new enterprise and expected to build a spur on the east "Y” for engines. This company is bidding on two big ditches In this community and have one over near Sheldon and figured that this would be a good point to locate. This company ships a good deal of their products to Illinois and the railroad facilities here make this a good point. The C. & E. I. railway would make good conveyance for the raw materials needed from the shale and gravel pits near Attica. —Goodland Herald.
