For most roads however, this traffic was limited to just a few weeks each year. And since stock cars didn't lend themselves to handling other loads, most railroads were reluctant to invest in such specialized cars that were needed only for short periods. From 1915 on, many roads found it easier to lease stock cars from the Mather Stock Car Company of Chicago on an as-needed basis. Built to it's own modular design (which was considered quite radical at the time), Mather cars were simple to repair or rebuild, and these cost-saving measures were reflected in lower lease rates to customers. Some of these venerable cars were still running in the 1960s, until changes in the meatpacking and processing industry all but eliminated the need for stock cars.   PROTO 2000 Mather Stock Car Time-Saver Kits: Akron, Canton & Youngstown #286 - Double Deck Akron, Canton & Youngstown #294 - Double Deck Baltimore & Ohio #110355 - Double Deck Baltimore & Ohio #111088 - Double Deck Great Northern #55063 - Single Deck Great Northern #55149 - Single Deck Gotham Stock Express GSX #4004 - Double Deck Gotham Stock Express GSX #4135 - Double Deck Louisville & Nashville #88004 - Single Deck Louisville & Nashville #88076 - Single Deck Mather Stock Car MSCX #1793 - Single Deck Mather Stock Car MSCX #2100 - Single Deck Northern Pacific #80073 - Double Deck Northern Pacific #80084 - Double Deck Baltimore & Ohio #112085 - Single Deck Baltimore & Ohio #112537 - Single Deck Northern Pacific #80108 - Single Deck Northern Pacific #80144 - Single Deck Undecorated
