The Winslow Mail

M. L. Hinman, the only living man of the company of men that in 1869 organized the Brooks Locomotive Co., now known as the American Locomotive Company, of Dunkirk, New York, passed through here this week en route east from Pasadena, California, where he and his family have been spending the winter. The Brooks Locomotive Company became a thing of the past about four years ago, and the old plant is now being operated by the American Locomotive Company. They are working about three thousand men and are turning out two locomotives a day. A large number of engines are being sent to Mexico, as that country is developing rapidly.
