WILL BUILD A TANK WAGON

DEAN & CO. WILL PATRONIZE THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL

Handicapped by Taking Up of Side Tracks--Compelled to Adopt Expensive Method of Transportation

Dean & Co. have been compelled to solve the knotty problem of how to get the oils consigned to them from the tank cars to their storage tanks on First street. Since the Ann Arbor railroad took up its sidetracks preparatory to grade separation, Dean & Co. have been greatly handicapped and apparently forbearance ceased to be a virtue when, last week, the damaging of a tank car entailed a loss of about $500 worth of gasoline.

Dean & Co. have now decided to have their oils shipped over the M. C. road and have had made a large tank wagon which will be used in conveying the oil from the railroad to their tanks. This will be somewhat expensive, but they say it is the only way out of the dilemma.
