Cape & Armstrong Co. - 1:87 Scale 

Politicians rewrite history, why can't I?

Back in July I wrote that my McIntyre Marine was the largest shipper in Scots' Landing. That's no longer true. Cape & Armstrong is a wholesaler of general merchandise serving communities on the chain of lakes that stretches north from Pheasant Lake, where Scots' Landing is located. At C&A Co., merchandise of all kinds is transshipped from rail cars, to the C&A warehouse, to packet boats that serve businesses up and down the lakes. The company also handles some of the products coming south from the lake district -- furs, leather, apples and cider, honey, cranberries, and wild rice among them. At least one, often two boxcars are unloaded here each day, while an outbound car might carry a substantial amount of LCL freight.
