Rensselaer Journal, Volume 11, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 July 1901 — Gifford Road Sold. [ARTICLE]

Gifford Road Sold.

The Journal has information from what it considers a reliable source that B. J. Gifford has sold his railroad to an eastern syndicate. A condition of the purchase is that he completes the road to Chicago Heights. As he is pushing the work on that end of the line now, it would appear that was some grounds for the reported sale of the road. As to whether the purchasers will build the southern extension on the Rensselaer line or some other is a question.
