The natural gas companies for the
past year have reported increased
earnings. increased or paid the same
dividends as during the year 1914.
as well as maintained their market

and where natural gas securities are
properly managed they rank with the

country. from the standpoint OF earn

The increase in new gas fields are
being discovered in sections where
gas was not supposed to exist here

gas in commercial quantities is being
found over large area. which will
insure an available supply for future
use.
Pottery Trade.
Quite a number OF local potteries

short time. while others are pretty
well booked up with orders for a
start. and there are others who say
they have abundant room on their
