CARTWRIGHT MOVES BUILDING.

 

 

            The large block house belonging to O.C. Harrington, east of city, was purchased by M.J. Randall and the job of moving was let to A.E. Cartwright, who has recently purchased a new moving outfit con-sisting of three trucks that are each warranted to carry forty-five tons and a steel cable five hundred feet long which operates on a steel capstan that is mounted on steel trucks and can be moved and anchored in a short space of time.  In ordinary weather each move of 500 feet can be made in less than an hour so a building may be moved, on good roads, more than a mile each day with one team and three men.

            Mr. Cartwright is now equipped to move large buildings quickly and without risk or damage.  He reports that he has eleven jobs contracted to do as fast as he can get to them.
