BUGGY BUSINESS BOOMING The people of Barnesville will re joice over the big improvement going on in the buggy business as reported by the big buggy factories of the city. Last week the Smith factory reported a large volume of ordes, sufficient to keep the plant going for several weeks, with prospects fine. Mr. J. W. Gardner this week re ports a fine increase in business for the Summers Buggy Cos., and states that he has placed in the plant a large number of workmen, who are now busy getting vehicles ready to ship to various parts of the state. He says the company is receiving a ! fine quantity of orders and there is J every indication that the big plant is j going to be kept quite busy for the future turning out their famous bug gies. The plant is in splendid condi tion for meeting the demands of its customers all over the country and they are expecting, from present in dications, to do a big business again. Mr. Gardner also states that he is having a fine business in painting and working over automobiles, this patronage coming' from the large cities of the state and other smaller communities. The operation of this plant on full time will mean much for the community and the news that the buggy business is “coming back” should be encouraging to citizens of the c'4y.
