Many Advantages

In previous articles have endeav.
ored to demonstrats the value Of oilsd

among others the following advan-
tages:
Freedom from dust. now damage to
clothing and health.
Freedom from mud, wearing alike
on man and beast.
Increase OF haul: the same motive
power being able to pull over an oiled
road at least one-third more than upon
our best dirt or sage brushed sand
roads.
There are many other minor advan.
tages. but all are deducible from the
above named. For example, In the
matter of dust. Not only does the dust

openings under doors, windows. etc.
