on winter schedules directly after the Thanksgiving holiday. General mer- chandise shipments became lighter in the early part of November, due in part, it is believed, to the abnormal warm autumn weather. Several of the transportation companies took boats out of service with the drop in merchandise shipments. The Good- rich Transit Co., Chicago, removed from service two of its side wheelers. * * * RUIT shipments on the Great Lakes from the Michigan fruit belt were fairly satisfactory to lake transportation companies during the season. These shipments fell short of 1926 activity, which was heavier than usual. The 1927 fruit movement also was. considerably abbreviated, and failed to extend into the early winter months as was the case a year ago. * * *K REAT Lakes transportation com- panies are adding new motor truck lines as feeders for merchan- dise shipments. A number have been added during the past year. The Goodrich Transit Co. has a night mo- tor truck service for its lines, run- ning between Kalamazoo and Benton Harbor, Mich. HE new receiving station opened by the Goodrich Transit Co. in the central manufacturing district, Chicago, has met with a popular need in the southwestern section of Chi- cago. According to reports, shippers are finding this station a source of convenience. iy Ok * AKE shipments of stone and iron ore to the Gary, Ind., harbor ended Nov. 15 with the arrival of a cargo of stone from Calcite, Mich. Shipments of both stone and ore were continued later in the season to eastern ports.
