very easy terms upon which they may
'racome investors in their country's

issued in small denominations as we'll
as large, so that everyone may have
oprclt tunity to loan their savings to

PUTS YEAR ROUND
TRUCK ON SALE

An event that is proving of un-
usual interest, not only in motor truck
manufacturing circlese, but among
present and prospective truck owners,
is that the Kissel Mortor Car Com
pany being granted letters patent by
the United States government on the
al-year cab for moor trucks, designed
to increase the truck drivers eff
cheney by giving him protection the
year round. Charles N. Merralls is
Valley distributor for this truck.
A particularly interesting sidelight
|on the governments recognition of
this motor truck innovation, is the
fact that the letters paent cover no
only exclusive structural feaures that
make he cab absolutely weatherproof
for winter use, but also covers the
idea of an interchangeable drivers
cab. f&Ek
Through the exclusive construction
of the all-year cab, no matter how
severe or disagreeable the weather
may be (this means frigid weather,
rain, snow, hail or wind) it affords
complete protection and will insure
the use of trucks every day in the
month. No longer will owners have
to tie up their trucks, loaded with bad
ly-needed material and supplies, which
not only causes consignors and con-
signees financial loss, but great in
public.

In The Intelligencer appears a no

ferred to the monumental work Of the

present in definite and understands

scription Of the mineral wealth Of the
state; the number, character and geo.
graphical outlines OF the coal depos-
its. the oil sands. the limestone and
sandstone strata. the various ore de.
posits, and immense masses OF de.
tailed information on kindred sub
jects.
II is almost impossible 10 conceive
OF q work Of greater intrinsic import
ance TO the state. West Virginia Is
a great imne OF mineral wealth. Its
riches have hardly been touched. The
prospector and promoter OF develop
ment in West Virginia who did not
avail himself OF the Geological Survey
would be next to a lunatic. In the
years to come this imense compend-
ium OF authoritative information will
prove increasingly valuable. a perma-
net exhibit Of the natural wealth and
resources Of the state.
