its representatives, the Messrs, Kelly
and Harper, at the transfer house for
the past three or four days demonstra

DO WORK OF FOUR MEN.
It is claimed by the company which
manufactures these trucks that they
will do four mems work, and this has
been borne out in the tests made. Both

roads have purchased the trucks and
