the following records which
have been established in industry
during the last few months, as cited
by julius H. Barnes, president of the

Largest crude oil production.
Largest automobile and truck pro-
duction.
Largest residential construction.
Largest production of locomotives.
Largest volume of mail order sales.
Largest volume Of retail sales.

ITO this we might add that accord

of the Department of Agriculture the
