TRAILER POPULAR DEMAND
 ON THE INCREASE

H. C. Bennett reports an increasing
 demand for the popular Utility Trailer, for which the Bennett Lumber com
 pany is local agent. The Los Angeles Trailer company, of Los Angeles, has
 become famous as one of the most rapidly growing and successful manu-
 featuring institutions on the Pacific
 coast. There is an added interest in the Utility Trailer due to the fact that one of the men at the head of the manufacturing concern is E. w Ben
 nett. formerly in business in Phoenix Although the plant has been frequently enlarged and the present output is very
 large it is impossible for the company to keep up with it's orders. The Utility Trailers are made for over two hundred
 lines of trade including two wheel and four wheel trailers, carrying from one
 half ton to five tons. They are eXS
 tensively in use throughout the west
 ern part of the United States, particu-
 larly by merchants, manufacturing firms, oil companies, road construction companies. transfer companies, mer-
 chants and ranchers. One of the req
 sons for the great success of the Utility Trailers is its patent steering device for the four wheel models. Says MT Bennett: Regardless of how well it is constructed, a vital point in the opera
 tion and success of a four wheel trailer
 depends entirely on its ability to track
 accurately; it must follow the track of the auto or truck. If it doesn't, it is
 useless. Utility Trailers of. the four ! wheel type are not of that variety. It
 is a complete success because of our | steering device (patent applied for) which permits the trailer to travel at all speeds-particularly above rive
 miles per hour without wobble or whip | of the trailer or load

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW

NEW. YORK, Dec. 2s.-The final week of an epochal year in Wall street was attended by an event Of para = mount importance to investors in se- curities-the assumption by the gov ernment of the management of the railroads. The announcement was fol lowed bv q sensational rise in the stoef market.
 Transportation experts maintain that until the president unfolds his plan be- fore congress, it is idle to attempt to form more than an abstract idea or the manifold problems and difficulties in- Yolveu in this stupendous proposition
 Already it seems to be taken fol granted. however, as seen in the re- coyerv of securities, that the proposed guarantees offer a very fair measure ol protection to investors and insure sta bility of existing interest and dividend payments.
 Those who look beyond the present era. profess to see in the program ol the administration inevitable change: in the economic history of this country which until recently received httl' more than passing attention. In es sence as influential interests view tht future. the phrase Public ownership takes on a new significance. Negotiations between the centra i mowers and Russia's delegates revived peace rumors, but the attitude or th' entente allies, as enunciated by th'
 British premier and the French for eign minister, was regarded as mor' l than an offset.
