The McGuire Manufacturing Co. is exhibiting an extensive lineof its well known street railway car specialties, including snowplows and sweepers, various styles of trucks, fenders, brake han-dles, etc. One of the most striking items of this exhibit is theMcGuire combination snow plow and sweeper shown in the ac-companying illustration, of which tliere are now 500 in use byrailway companies in all parts of the country. Included in thecompanys exhibit of trucks is one No. ,39 A truck, one solid steel Columbian truck and one maximum tracliim No. 3 truck. The39 A truck is built with a solid steel frame in which there are norivets used and in which there are no bolts under any considerablestress. These trucks are designed for use on high speed interurbancars and are provided with swing bolsters, elliptical and helicalsprings and are cushicmcd nver the axles. The solid steel Colum-. bian truck exhibited represents the pattern of which there aremore in use than of any other style built by the company. A no-ticeable feature of this type is that it contains remarkably fewpieces, and in its construction the same plan is followed of avoid-ing the use of bolts which would come under heavy strain. Themaximum traction No. 3 truck is of a lighter pattern than either ofthose described and is specially adapted for heavy city service. Al-though of a different type its general construction conforms veryclosely to the 39 A type. The company also exhibits one RoyalFlush fender and one cushioned sliding fender, which are shownmounted on a car platform. The cushioned sliding fender is of anew design, in which the fender folds under the platform. Thereare two stoves for car heating on exhibition and the ratchet brakehandles made by this company. Mr. T. J. Callinan is in charge ofthe exhibit. PROBABLE PURCHASE OF TOLEDO TRAC-TION CO. Although no actual
