Suggestions that the loan drive was

before comprehensive reports from the
metropolitan canvassing committee and
other organizations in the field could be
compiled
1t was explained further that the
roundabout way of recording subscrip-
lions from large employers made
through their respective banks but not
announced until filed with the Federal

"The far reaching prosperity the
introduction of steam had on general
industry is being duplicated by the
use of motor trucks in the agricul-

Kissel Motor Car Co.
Both of these innovations create
greater production of the necessities

living, increased Purchasing power
and greater general prosperity.
THE motor truck carries the fruits
