DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The American Elevator and Grain Trade, Vol. 10: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Elevator and Grain Interests; June 15, 1892 The high and low track, illustrated herewith, another relic of a forgotten age, is also used at a number of points and even at Chicago several roads use this shiftless ar rangement for transferring grain. As with the track on the level it is generally more expensive to the shipper than to the carrier. It is the duty of the receiver's associations at the dif f ercut terminals to do everything in their power to induce railroad companies to erect regular transfer elevators with the scales upon the ground floor and erected upon a stone foundation. By such a house gra'n can be cheaply and quickly transferred without loss of grain, and correct weights can be obtained. As receivers lack persistence the shippers can do much toward bringing about a change by lending their influence in behalf of modern transfer facilities, the adoption of which would redound more to their interests than to the interests of any others con useted with the grain trade.
