EVANSVILLE 



At the regular meeting of the Evansville Rotary Club held on Tuesday.

 the Evansville Ijumbermen's Club, was installed as president of the Rotary

E. G. Payton. traffic manager of the Hercules Companies here, represented 

 Evansville and the local Chamber of Commerce at a meeting held in 

 Chicago a few days ago to work out the discrimination between cities in 

 Indiana shipping into Illinois and cities in Illinois shipping to the same 

 points. The discrimination is not only against Indiana, but against Wis- 

 consin, Michigan and other neighboring states, according to John C. Keller, 

 traffic manager of the Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association. 



The plant of Beach and Fuller, basket and crate manufacturers here, is 

 being operated on full time now with a full force of men and boys. The

The Karges Wagon Company of this city, as soon as business conditions 

 warrant it. will start the erection of a large 63x250 foot brick addition 

 here, chiefly for tbe manufacture of toy wagons, an industry that the 

 company has developed during the past few years. It was planned to 

 build the addition last year but tbe plans were not carried out owing to 

 the fact that building materials were considered too high. Mr. Karges 

 explains that the present dullness in the wagon market is due to the over- 

 supplies during the war and the failure of cotton and other farm crops. 

 Mr. Karges said : "Last year we could not get freight cars fast enough. 



This year the southern farmers, who heretofore have bought one-third of 

 our output, were forced to stop buying and farmers generally cut expendi- 

 tures to a minimum. If a farmer this year lacked a mower, a wagon or 

 certain implements, he borrowed from his neighbor. Last year he would 

 have ordered one from his dealer. So this period is simply that of work- 

 ing out stocks."
