PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
The Lansing Wheelbarrow Com- 
pany of Lansing, Michigan, has re- 
organized, and changed its name to 
Lansing-Company, for the reason 
that its old name was not compre- 
hensive enough to embrace the entire 
line of goods it manufactures. 
In addition to a complete line of 
wheelbarrows and warehouse trucks, 
an extensive line of steel scrapers, 
concrete and mortar mixers, auto- 
mobile turntables, cast iron, rubber 
and fibre wheels for trucks and cars, 
push carts, etc., is also made. 
The Lansing-Company does not 
belong to any combination or trust; 
it is as entirely independent as it 
was under the old name. 
After a recent meeting with Mr. 
George E. Kessler, landscape architect, 
the Park Board of St. Joseph, Mo., 
announced that an agreement had vir- 
tually been made to establish the first 
of St. Joseph's projected chain of drive- 
ways on 28th street. The boulevard 
scheme contemplates the construction of 
a 100-ft. driveway on 28th street, from 
Osage street south to Frederick boule- 
vard, thence south to Messanie street. 
This is the first step in the projected 
chain of boulevards to connect Krug 
Park and Burnes Park.
