The Review office was favored
with a very pleasant call Tuesda!
from w. S. Hawley, president of tht
Big West Oil company Mr.. Hawle.
is very congenial and interesting
gentleman too meet and we'll verseC
in the Oil business. During our in
terview he favored us with an outline
of the present and future plans Of
his company, which promises to be Of
an exceedingly interesting and bene
fical nature to Kelvin in the form OF
development which means a gradual
expansion of business trades in all
lines. Among the things mentioned
of particular Importance is the fact
that his company have ordered a
shipment of 4+inch pipe for q line to
be laid from their producing wells
to their refinery at Kevin, and their
arrival will be but matter of a
short time. In addition to this, two
more 3500-barrel storage tanks will
be erected immediately to care for
their ever increasing volume of trade,
all of which speaks in strong terms
the company's faith in the future
growth of Kevin as a coming city of
Importance and the surrounding com
munity as a safe and sane place for
logical investments.
Mr.. Hawley is very optimistic and
enthusiastic in his comments upon
the favorable outlook for this towns
expansion and development. He
states Kevin is but in its infancy and
stands at the threshold of the open
door of opportunity if the citizens
will but take advantage of the stu
tion and join in a general boosting
and building campaign whereby all
may be made familiar with the ex-
ceptional opportunities existing and
thus reap the benefits of the reward
that is bound to come to all wherein
the progressive spirit predominates.

thus imbued with the booster spirit
and do not hesitate to emphasize
the fact that it is men of the calibre
of Mr. Hawley who do things, and get
the everlasting results. His ideas
and expressions are precisely in line
with our policy and sentiments and
we gladly extend the hand of good
fellowship to Mr.. Hawley and add:

and builder every time, and we
cannot refrain from stating that we
