MILWAUKEE, WIS.—An ingenious man recently visited tha
North Woods, which he had left 38 years ago, and found that tha
Smberjacks were handling pulpwood the same old way, by hand. 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.

How would you like to be the
only buyer of the automobile you
like?
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.
