Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 90, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 July 1901 — Giffords Road Not Sold. [ARTICLE]

Giffords Road Not Sold.

There was not truth whatever in the widely circulated report that B. J. Gifford had sold his railroad the Chioago & Wabash Valley, to eastern capitalists, they to take possession when the northern extension was completed, Writing to The Republican to correct the false rumor, Mr. Gifford says: “This report is a fake, pure and simple. I have never offered my railroad for sale and no one has offered to buy it. No such negotiation is in contemplation. Yours truly,

B. J. Gifford.”
