j Jj | “Greatest contribution made to crawler industry in 20 years,” j!5
' & Says one large tractor fleet owner. j
| HOW MUCH CAN YOU AFFORD TO WASTE? 5jj
\ K Gold — probably unnoticed — is passing OVER your screens and riffles — IS W
!«X BEING WASTED — if you are using ordinary 'dozer tractors. Here’s why! Grease U
AX leaks out from rollers and idlers on common truck wheel assemblies. These Ax
•X drippings attach themselves to numerous gold particles in the pit and are slushed XX
AX around until small, pebble-like balls are formed. You know the rest—that gold AX
M goes over the riffles. XX
Stop this needless waste. Use the NEW Allis-Chalmers tractors with the ZJ
TO POSITIVE-SEAL truck wheel assemblies. The OIL STAYS IN because IT’S to
43 SEALED IN! And you CHANGE IT ONLY ONCE IN 200 HOURS. Zj
yi Consider your savings — not only in gold gained — but in slashed lubrication AX
costs — in 48 extra productive hours every 1,000 — in greaser’s wages. f j

WHAT PRICE FUR
“Prices of fur, important Al
askan resource are about the
same now as they were at this ]
time last year; but wars on the
Asiatic and European continents |
make future quotations uncer- |
tain,” John Schwegler. widely '
known fur buyer declared.
“Despite the conflict in the Or <<
ient, furs are coming from Jap
an and China. As a result of the 4
armed struggle between those •!
countries, their fur supply is not i
so large at present as it was in
peace time, but neither is their ^
domestic consumption. What pelts ]j
are produced in the Far East are j
diverted to military purposes. ; j
“Fur imports into the United ^
States this season from Canada ]j
are likely to be above normal, t
because the Dominion will have •!
no outlet to the United Kingdom
or France inasmuch as these na !•
tions are conserving finances for j
belligerent operations. *!
“Russian fur always has been ’
brought in large quantities into
the United States, but such ship J
ments this winter, will be stop- *:■
ped by naval blockades in for- *
eign waters. The amount of Rus |
sian fur kept out may exceed the |
amounts of Oriental and Canad- *
T
ian fur brought in. ] •*
“In neutral countries, fur may *
experiences firm, if not rising ^
markets because of profits gen- |
erally from war trade. |
“Most of the United States sup |
ply never will cross the nation”s *
doorstep. Prices of Aaskan pelts &
now being taken by trappers |
throughout the Territory will de]|
pend on whether imports add 4
greatly to domestic supply, for h
the domestic supply of itself is
scarcely ever sufficient to satisfy j
domestic demand.
“Fur is not a war commodity,]
and is not required by fighting ]
nations. It is a fashion material
fancied by peaceful, prosperous]
peoples and withal makes peren-!
nial appeal — winter, summer,
spring and fall.
