Ha gan to figure out ways to spe^'-up the work of getting out raw giaterials so desperately needed fo making paper. His solution was tery simple and the new equipment operates similar to a man’s arms when loading wood. I Two mechanical arms are pushed into the pulpwood. The top arm tomes down clamping the wood to the two lower arms. The entire tneehanism is then tilted back, lifting the two arms under the wood |o a 45 degree angle. The tractor backs away from the pile, lowerd the load onto two runners, which are pushed along to the place of disposal. There the pulpwood is raised again, maneuvered to th« proper spot and loaded or dumped. The equipment is hydraulically pperated. Photo above shows the new type of loading equipment. Tha inventor is E. A. Drott. president of the Drott Tractor Company and the Hi-Way Service Corp., here, and an outstanding contributor tt the war effort.

Well, you might be, if it were not for advertising. And your car might cost you $40,000 instead of I $1,000. The maker of your car uses ad vertising to drum up a lot of I buyers, which enables him to go ' into large scale production and reduce his selling price. Robert M. Bowes, maker of tire repair supplies, sparkplugs, etc., backed racing cars as a hobby. One day a driver brought in a bill for $842 for a new crankshaft. Mr. Bowes told him he had just bought a whole new De Soto for $890! If you want just one crank shaft it could cost $842. But ad vertising and large-scale manu facture give you a WHOLE CAR for about the same mk\3ey.
