Huge Gain in Business Is Reported Here by
Head of Peoples Fuel and Supply Company
Thirty Years in Operation
Puts Firm in Lead
in City.

Having started with one delivery
wagon in 1908, Edwin o. Logsdon
has now built the Peoples Fuel &
Sully Company to the largest coal
yard in Indianapolis which has as
modern equipment as any yard
throughout the middle west.
Many definite principles have
been adhered to during these thirty
odd years, but according to Grover
c. Miller, who has been associated
with Mr.. LogSdon for more than
seventeen years, the greatest single
factor in the successful merchandis-
ing Of coal particularly since the
signing Of the recent governmental
codes is the ability to render I'M
paralleled service.
The Peoples Fuel and Supply Com
pany's six silos, each with a capa-
city Of 200 tons enables it to store
properly and to load trucks in
minimum time. Due to a special
feature which automatically screens
the coal at time of loading a Gus
toner gets exactly what he bar
gains for.
Several unique features have been
Incorporated into the merchandise
ing. Probably the most original is
the weekly bonus to the driver who
presents the neatest appearance and
whose truck shows the most care.
In order to aid people to become
more familiar with coal, its proper
uses in various heating units, and
the different processes necessary be-
fore it is delivered into a consumers
cellar, are at this time mailing out
$4,000 folders, stating Facts About
Coal

Saving Said to Be Assured by Thick
er Protection.

When your master painter recon-

crime Of painting the interior of his

new MEXICO'S
GOVERNOR MAY
ENTER SENATE
Mode of Self Appointment
May Take SeIigman to
Washington.

By scripps-How1rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May u. - The
United States senate may win an
other Governor after the current
fashion Of disappointment.
Following the appointment Of
Senator Bratton, New Mexico Dem
ocrat, to the federal appellate bench,
it is learned that Governor Selig-
man Of that state is considering re-
signing and having his successor,
Lieutenant Governor Hockenhull,
name him to Brattons seat.
Bratton will remain in his seat
until adjournment, when, it is pre-
dicted, Governor Seligman will don
the toga."
Governor Seligman is a middle
aged, mild-mannered man. Al
though a banker Of Santa Fe he has
been a Democrat of the liberal wing,
and always has had the support of
labor. His two terms as chief exec
utive have made him popular in his
state, particularly among the poll
ticians.
Should Governor Seligman come
TO Washington he would have to
run for election two years hence.
Senator Cutting, progressive Repub-
lican, runs again at the same time.
Senator Cutting and Governor
Seligman are Of different parties,
but are regarded as political allies.
The method Of resigning a gov
ernorship to be named senator by
a successor is becoming common.
The latest senator owing his seat to
such a political flip is former Gov
ernor Erickson of Montana, success
sor to the late Senator Walsh.
