: Quoted at par, of a certain company
| Would have earned dividends equal
auout £3,800 and would now be
salable at £5,500.
In the cuse of another company he
said that "for the ten years ended
in 1918 the dividends paid were
equivalent to about 243 per cent, of
the increased capital, or over 300
Per cent on the actual capital."
The witness said that in most
eases the extent of profits in cool
had been obscured by the capitali
zation of reserves or other readjust
ments of capital.
"By these methods and by divi-
I dends," he testified, "the most suc
cessful companies are able to re
turn to their shareholders every few
years the whole of the share capital
j originally subscribed by them."
j Mr. Davis said that if tho coal
reserves of tho country were pooled,
| tho enormous profits made and par
tially concealed by tho large com -
j panics would be available to meet
j part, at least, of any additional
I working costs that might be neces
jsary, and that the incentive to build
up reserves for subsequent distri
bution, which obscured the enorm
ous profits actually being made,
would disappear.

CROW-ELK HART IS LIKED
TV FRANCE. CLIPPING
SENT TO MONN BROS
That there are Crow-Elkhart enthu
siasts in France among the boys of the
13, jr. is evidenced by the following
clipping which a former Harrisburg
boy cut from a paper he had received
'while in the fighting area and sent to
Monto Bros., the local distributors for
the Crow-Elkhart The text of the
clipping follows:
Ellis Chllders, formerly speaker of
the Creek Council, and delegate to
Washington in interest of the Creek
nation and one of the leading citizens
of the Creek tribe, is one of the many
enthusiastic owners of a Crow-Elkhart.
Childers says he has driven and rid- i
den in nearly all makes of cars, and he
has never seen a car that would pull
with the Crow-Elkhart, or would go
over the same roads under all condi
tions. He says that ho had pulled many i
cars out of the mud with his Crow-Elk- i
hart, and that he had ploughed through
miles of mud and his car had never fail- I
ed him at any time, and never become
overheated. His car is the only one in
his neighborhood that goes all the time
through all kinds of weather during the
winter. He had not been out a cent for
repairs or adjustments, and his car is
running as smoothly now as most of.
sixes he declares. Mr. Childers lives
near Coweta. His son Walter, also
owns a Crow-Elkhart.

Duplex Does Better Hauling
For 20 to 60 Per Cent Less
In all haulage operations the Duplex 4-Wheel-Drivc
reduces hauling costs per ton-mile.
Careful records show that this saving runs from 20 to 60
per cent.
This is true whether the Duplex replaces other trucks,
or horses and mules.
Wherever it goes, the Duplex goes more cheaply—and
gets through.
With its power applied to all four wheels, it carries a full
load where ordinary trucks could not move their own
weight.
It has more than four times the power it would have if it
drove with two wheels only.
This means lower cost per ton-mile. It means saving in
fuel and tires. It means constant performance, under all
conditions.
The Duplex is the original 4-Wheel-Drive truck. For
eleven years it has been establishing wonderful records
in lowering haulage costs.
These records show that the Duplex consistently and
continually saves from 20 to 60 per cent.
Business executives should study these records, and also
ask us to demonstrate the Duplex.
