The W. R. Garton Company has alsospent several years giving close attention to the requirementsof high-tension work and is prepared to serve the trade intelli-gently and faithfully in this particular. The companys engi-neering knowledge and railway experience insures good judg-ment in this direction. The Lima Insulator Company willgradually increase its facilities until it is able to meet the de-mand in every particular, and will turn out a gas-fired, whiteand brown porcelain which will be pleasing to the eye, at-tractive in form and satisfactory in service. The Garton Com-pany now records among its patrons for high-tension insu-lators large numbers of some of the most prominent propertiesin the country. It, therefore, anticipates for the new year avery largely increased trade. SEMI-CONVERTIBLE CARS FOR GREATER NEW YORK The New York &
