PREFACE
 
 

marks the year in which the Chicago Great Western Railway built their Machine Shops in Oelwein. The following pages contain a facsimile of the Extra edition of the Oelwein Register dated April 7, 1894,

     

which announced that the contracts had been secured for the Machine Shops.
     We have included the photos which appeared in the Extra and the grammar and spelling appear here exactly as it appeared in the Extra.

     

     At the end of the article are a few "fillers." We have included them here as well. There is an article calling for fewer students per classroom, as well as an interesting item about lacing your corset too tightly. There are also a few short advertisement.
