Ohio Brass Company's Railway Appliances.

IT is an unquestionable fact that the success and efficiency of operation of any street railway is dependent to as great an extent upon the appliances used in its line construction as it is upon its rolling stock, its employes and business management. This being so, it is not at all surprising that the Inter-urban Cleveland lines described in our last and this present- issue have been attended with such marked success, when we learn that their line material has been furnished by so reliable a company as the Ohio Brass Company, of Mansfield, O. They are manufacturers of electric railway supplies of every variety, a few of which we illustrate herewith. Most of these have been installed on the lines of the Cleveland, Painesville and Eastern, the Loraine and Cleveland and the Cleveland and Chagrin Falls, on which the series of articles by Mr. C. B. Fairchild have been appearing in our pages.
