127 100000 rent on property rent
ed from non-operators, and $751;
100000 interest on mortgage and
other Indebtedness held by non
operators.
The difference is $1,000, 900, 900
of which $2,524,OOO,OOO repre-
sents the value of food and fuel
consumed on farms, and $3,O79,-
100000 is the net cash income,
which gives an average per farm
Iof 1919 compared with 1854 in
1924-25 for operators capital,
labor, and management.
The analysis shows further that
the farm operators earned on their
own net investment including
management, after paying rent
and interest on debts, 3.5 per
cent, compared with 3.2 per cent
in 1924-25. These rates are con-
Isiderably less than the rates earn
ed by the other owners of farm
capital such as mortgage holders.
If conservative interest return
is allowed on investment, the
average farm family earned $648
for labor and management, or
$24 more than in the preceding
year. Although this figure is con-
siderably above the very meager
earnings of 1919-20.
Factory wage earners, on the
other hand, the department points
aut, for the past three years have
earned approximately the same
money income as they did in 1919
20 and have been able to buy with
those earnings about 16 per cent
more than they counld in 1919
20, while tht farmer with his in
come has been able to buy about
20 per cent less.

SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN
AGRICULTURAL. INCOME

Income from farm production
the past season, 1885, again
showed a moderate improvement,
but farmers as a class are still at
a financial disadvantage to indus
trial workers, according to an
analysis Of receipts and expendi-
lures just completed by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Gross income from agriculture
is estimated at $12,415,O00,O00
for the year, compared with $12,-
003,000,000 for 1924-25, an in
crease Of about per cent, the in
crease appearing in both cash in
come from sales and in the value
of products consumed by farm
families. Increased income from
potatoes, dairy products, and meat
animals more than offset declines
in income from grains and cotton,
the department says.
The total gross income is made
UP of $9,891, 100000 computed
as cash income from sales, and
1852, 100000, the value Of food
and fuel consumed on farms. It
includes $3,577, 100000 for dairy
and poultry products; $2,746,-
100000 for meat animals; ST.
682,000,000 for cotton and cotton
seed; $1,625,0OO,O0O for fruits
and vegetables, and $1,565,OO0,-
600 for grains.
Receipts increased somewhat
more than expenses, yielding an
increase in net income available
for all capital employed including
reward for managing the industry,
of 4 per cent, compared with a
l3 per cent increase in 1925-25.
This larger net income represents
rate of return for all capital
and management of 4.6 per cent
compared with "A per cent the
preceding year. These rates are
not comparable with rates of re-
turn usually shown for other in
dustries. Estimates Of comparable
returns for corporations in 1923
gave II per cent as the return on
capital and management compared
with 3.S per cent for agriculture.
Out Of the gross income Of $12,-

JUNE BREAKS ALL RECORDS
OF CHEVROLET

Passing the 100000 mark be-
fore the middle of this month
Chevrolet continues to set new
records for a gear shift car and
the prediction made early in the
year that more than 100000

December 31st is almost certain
to be fulfilled and probably brok-

The month of April saw produc-
ton figures of 71,157 while May
reached 74,617. June broke all
previous records with total fig
ure of 77,241 although the re-
markable sales record of May top
ped anything in the history Of the
company when more than $4,000
cars were sold. about ten thou
sand more than the total produc-
ton for the month wiping out
stocks throughout the country.
The close Of the first half of
the calendar year saw total pro-
duction of 384,573 cars and trucks
as against 249,834 during the same
period in 1925, Chevrolet's great
est year.
The surprising growth Of the
Chevrolet Motor Company is
shown by the fact thta pro-
duct;on figures for the first
half of this year equals the en-
tire production of the company
during the first seven and one
half years Of its experience.
Work on the various Chevrolet
and Fisher body plants through

This roof or ceiling is Of the
"supportless" type, no columns be-
ing necessary, either in the center

this type of roof architecture.
Another recent achievement of
this firm is the construction Of the
state highway department ware
house at Holbrook. This building
was completed this spring, and is
only another example of Olds
Brothers work and success here as
contractors.
In fact, since the firm first start
ed in Winslow, they have figured
prominently in this city's building
program. !
Chief among the Olds Brothers
structures here is the new home of
Winslow Lodge No. 536, B. p. O.
Elks, which is modern in every re-
spect, and built for comfort and
long service. Winslow Elks are
proud of their new home, which
would do credit to cities five times
as large as Winslow. This build
ing was started in October, 1928,
and was finished in May, 1924.
| At about the same time the Elks
Home was begun, the Olds Broth
ers started a new venture, their
present lumber yard, at Kinsley
and Third. This yard was started
that they might render better
building service, and the lumber
business has now grown to such an
extent that it rivals the contracting.

a better service, and when the two

both are naturally helped and i'm

The owners of the Winslow Mail,
in awarding the contract for the
building of the new plant were we'll

bids was issued twice, for the first
call asked for separate bids on each

ures was too confusing and too far

Furthermore, the lack of central
head, under which all responsible

was decided to ask for bids again,

Building Promises
Long Life, Safety

In buildings that have stood
against the ravages of time for
years, buildings that are remark
able for that one quality, people
are inclined to see the building and
digest the information of its age
with no actual reaction toward the
implication these figures set out.
For instance, when they are in
formed that such and such a build
ing is forty years old, they remark
ON it's state of preservation, but
make no attempt to arrive in their
own minds at reason for it's long
evity.
1t is a fact that the fruits of any
labor are only fully appreciated by
men of the same trade, who know
what painful steps were necessary
to complete job that would stand,
who know the many delays, petty
annoyances, days of labor and care
in selection of materials that were
necessary to the finished piece of
work
The great English philosopher,
Herbert Spencer, in stating that no
one fact exists without the inter-
lacing services of a thousand facts
before it, might we'll have had in
mind the finished product of any
building trade, taking the product
as a material fact.
No building, for instance, exists
without first the thoughts of many
men, then the labor of men, then
the gathering Of building material,
and then the labor of a great many
different trades. The trades OF, the

IRON STAIRWAY ON

HOTEL PROTECTION

Choosing an iron stairway from
an Arizona institution that has only
entered the field of that type. of
foundry work recently, Olds Broth
ers added a bit of permanence and
safety to the final picture present
ed by the new Mail building.
This stairway, from the Allison
Spring Company, of Phoenix, is To-
Gated at the rear of the building,
and acts as a service entrance to
the Howell Hotel.
It also connects with the fire es-
cape from the third floor, and Of
fers protection in case of fire or
any type of trouble in which a
hasty departure from the hotel
should be necessary.
The Allison Spring Company has
been in business in Phoenix for a
number Of years, where they have
served the automobile trade and
others with every type of leaf
spring, and other necessities. They
have only recently gone into the
foundry business to the extent of
supplying structural iron work.
The stairway at the back of the
new hotel is of sturdy construction,
with Slated iron steps securely
fastened to heavy iron pipe seq
ments. For wear and safety, and
ultimate economy, it is an import
ant part of the complete building.

When anything is built, from q
building to mans character, it
must first have a foundation. The
whole structure can be no stronger
than it's foundation, and for that
reason builders use the best foun-
dation obtainable.
Cement has been a boon to the
building fraternity since it's incep-
ton. It's fieXibility while in pro-

In this way there would be hut
one man to deal with, one man or
firm to accept responsibility When
the second batch of bids were in,
Olds Brothers figures were found
to be such that the contract was
awarded to them without question,
and late in June the primary steps
on the building were begun.
The purchase of a location was
accomplished earlier in the year,
for it was only after few weeks
in Winslow that The Mails owners
realized the possibilities Of this
city and decided to center all their
activities here. The Tombstone
"Epitaph," which they published for
many years in Tombstone, Arizona,
was sold, and plans made to build
new plant here as early as March
of 1926.
The lot selected next to the City
Hall was considered as good a To-
cation for the publishing of news
paper as any in the city. It's width
which was only 25 feet, was prob
lem, for the plant was to have been
t25 feet inside measurement, at the
least, and this would leave no room
on each side for light and air space.
This difficulty was overcome by
the purchase of 8 feet on the lot
adjoining, which allowed the build
inc to be 28 feet wieie instead of
the planned 25 feet. Since the wide
sidewalk by the side Of the city
hall on the east gave assurance OF
air space there, all the remaining
space was taken on the west side,
so that occupants of the Mail
building would always have a plen-
tiful supply Of fresh air and natufal
light.
This was especially necessary,
not only for workers in the OFFICES
and shops of The Mail, but for the
hotel which was to be above. AS
soon as it was learned that the up
per floor was to house hotel, sew
eral local hotel operators became
interested, but the lease was Civ
en- to Mrs. e. p. Howell, we'll
known Winslow woman.
The original plans called for a
two story building, and it was not
until after the building was up to
the beginning of the second floor
that it was decided TO increase the
building to three stories, SO that
two floors could be used for the
hotel.
This was done on account of the
great demand for tourist and per-
manent accommodations From
now on, % rooms, IL adjoining a
bath, will be available for hotel
patrons in Winslow.
Great care was taken by Olds
Brothers in subletting contracts,
and in ordering material. Practi-
cally all the labor contracts were
let to local men. Plastering, paint
inf, electrical wiring, plumbing,
brick work and other construction
features were done by local men,
the roof being put on Olds Broth
ers themselves.
The iron stairway in the rear, the
steel window frames on the first
floor, and certain other merchandise
were bought in Arizona. Only the
cement and plaster, sash and doors,
brick and plumbing were bought
out of the state.

GALLUP BRICK
GIVE STRENGTH
AND BEAUTY TO
new MAIL HOME

In choosing Gallup Brick for the
wall construction of the new Wins
low Mail Building, Olds Brothers
naturally turned to firm whose
product has gained a reputation in
this part of the state, one whose
wares and whose service were
above reproach.
The brick were chosen for their
good appearance and for their high
quality, and for the reputation of
their makers.
Although the factory in Gallup
was working under pressure as a
result of unavoidable mishaps that
occurred at the plant just when
brick were most needed, only slight
delays occurred in making ship
ment.
The Gallup Fire Brick Company
has only been in existence a short
time, but already they have gained
a reputation not only in Gallup and
the adjacent territory, but in Colo
RADIO, Texas and Arizona. These
brick made in the Gallup factory
have been used in many of The
homes and business houses of
Winslow and other cities in Nava
10, Apache and CocOnino counties,
and their enviahle record has reach
ed much farther.
In asking for information from
several Of the more important fig
ures connected with the building of
The Nails new home, The Mail re
ceived the following letter from
the factory:
Gallup brick has hepled to make
Gallup. This claim does not ne
cessarily imply that Gallup brick
houses are constructed of Gallup
brick, but that Gallup brick has
been used in the construction of
many buildings of New Mexico, Ar
iona, Texas and Colorado towns
and cities and this because Of the
superior quality of Gallup brick.
"The Gallup Fire Brick company
take pride in telling the public that
the brick used in the fine new home
of The. .Winslow Mail was furnished
by our plant, and that Giragi Broth
ers, the publishers, are to be COM
