One Inch in Four Years Is the Swift
est Known.

An inch in four years is the sWlftest
growth known in the a c OF the
trees. Farmers and fruit growers are
said to have no reliable unit rule to
govern them in knowing how long It
takes for a tree to grow an inch, put
some carriage makers have found out.
They asked about 40 OF the coun-
try's prominent vehicle and wheel
manufacturers drawing their stock
from territory where hickory, white
oak. ash and tulip trees grow to select
and express to them short cross Sec
lions of these woods from the odds
and ends Of their shops; These were
to be selected for the average width
Of growth, and the size of each block
was to be about one inch ~lengthwise,
one inch across and a fourth OF an
inch thick.
They examined these blocks care
fully and marked on each block 9 one
inch space across the average size OF
growths Of the annular rings. They
then counted the number Of rings
within the inch space on each block

average number of years required for
each kind of tree to grow n inch
An inch growth on one side represent

the tree.
They submitted the count, process
and result to unquestionable scientific
authority. Their general conclusion
was that it takes from four to five
year for a tree to increase n inch

from 4.87 years to 5.83. according to
their location east or west of the Ale
ghanies. Oak required 4.68 years fol

A SALTLAKE BOOSTER

d COSTING for Salt Lake has become
u second nature to Lester D. Freed,
vice president and manager of the
Freed Furniture & Carpet company,
and his nineteen years Of business ex-
perience in Utah have been years Of
pubIic-spirited labor for the advance
ment of the city and state.
Beginning with a small establish
ment, IN which Mr. Freed Tustled furni-
ture himself; dividing his time between
buying, selling, delivering and collect
ing, be has built up a business which
ranks among the foremost of its class
in Utah, and occupies a large building
in Third South street and carries an
immense stock.
In addition 10 this business. Mr..
Freed is also a director in the Mer-
chants bank of Salt Lake, and he is
interested in various mining enterprises
in Utah and Nevada. In boosting Salt
Lake and Utah, Mr.. Freed's interest in
the good roads movement has been er-
fective in advancing the sentiment for
better streets and highways, and in this
direction he has shown untiring energy.
Mr.. Freed is an enthusiastic automobile
list. Among the first salt Lake men TO
own a large car, he has owned more diff
feTent automobiles than any other man
in Utah, and he has done much to pro-
mote the interests Of the automobile
owners Of the city and state. His ac-
tivity in the good roads movement,
however, is along broad business lines
rather than the narrow interest Of a
simple automobile enthusiast.
Mr.. Freed has served as a member Of
the board of governors of the CONNER
cial club, of which he has been a mem
Der since its organization He is also
a member of the traffic bureau and of

Freed served for five years, and during
this time his efforts contributed largely
to the great success of the state fair.

salt Lake has such a start now that

it surpasses that Of any city between

resources Of Utah and the territory
tributary to the city are so vast that
the advancement Of the city viii follow
the development Of these resources as
surely as day follows night This is a
legitimate and rapid growth and not a

money for producer and consumer
alike"
