Communications with regard to pur-
chasing gasolene propelled agricultural
implements have been received by .
local manufacturing company from
agents OF the Russian government 1t
Petrograd. They state that formerly
Russia purchased from the German
empire about $400,000.00O worth OF
manufactured goods annually which
now because OF the war 10 cut on. 1t
will be necessary to look to the United
States for these. As the war has taken
nearly all Of the available horses. they
wish to find as far AZ possible gsso-
lene propelled agricultural implements.
Patent rights we're recently issued to
George b. Carroll, who had bought the
patent from s. c. Baker. the inventor
OF garden pillow that has gasolene
engine attachment. The implements
are manufactured here.
