PROJECT IS BEING ENCOURAGED
Considerable Stock Has Already Been
Sold and Prospects Look Bright
Considerable attention is being di
rected to the new automatic coupling
device patented by our citizens Mr
Joseph Sullivan and his son Charles
phfs patent bears the date of De
cember 27th 1910 but little or no
publicity has been given the matter
until this time
These gentlemen are now disposing
of stock to further the promotion of
this patent and are meeting with con
siderable success in this city Al
ready several hundred dollars worth
have been disposed of and others
wjho have faith in the outcome of
the life and labor saving device are
arranging to invest Shares are now
being sold at 5 each and it is con
templated to issue 150000 at this
time and later the sum will be in
creased as demand arises
Railroad men who have investigat
ed the device are quoted as believ
ing the same will be a practical one
and the more enthusiastic ones are of
the opinion the device will be a
great money maker
It is proposed in the near future to
place the device on freight cars and
give it a tryout in a practical test
preliminary to putting the same in
work on some big foundry and shop
The model is on exhibition at Ro
zells clothing store
