Airplane manufacturers are working ng {at top speed, and it is evident it wil not be long before some of the automo- bile makers invade the aviation field. Commercial aviation is accounting for an increasing share of gasoline produc- | tion. Crude oil production is being fairly well held down to requirements. | The soft coal situation is showing some signs of improvement, chief among which is a tendency toward consolida- tions, which would remove some un- profitable mines from ptoduction.

Harvesting in Full Swing. Harvosting is swinging into full stride, | and this is one activity which is not affected by politics or holidays. It is meeting some setbacks from weather, however, in certain districts. The prospect for a small cotton crop and con- sequent high prices is becoming clearer, but the textile field is not satisfactory. Further curtainment of production to around July 10 may benefit it. The surplus labor in the agricultural States is being well absorbed, and the activity in the industrial centers still is in an enviable condition. This is shown in the demand for funds for com- mercial and business needs reported by the banks. Car loadings are increasing. Sales of radio equipment have been heavy for the last fortnight, and this volume may be expected to continue up to .the national holiday. Aummohur traffic volume in the next week is ex- pected to be unusually heavy, and it is CONSIDER SALE OF FIRM.

And this obligation is felt all the stronger in spite of one outstanding fact— Caloroil is so strongly made, its basic engineering design is so fundamental, that it is unique in the industry as the only oil burner that issues no “parts catalog.” It is so unfailing in operation that there is seldom a call for “Service” through the house heating season. Washington householders are particularly fortunate in the type of installation work assured by the fact that the Caloroil agency is in the hands of CENTRAL ARMATURE WORKS, Ine. 625 D STREET N.W. THIS is the well known firm that during recent years has ut in the electrical installations of the Home Ice Company, outhern Dairies, American Ice Company, Arcade Laundry, Vogue Dry Cleaning Company, Home Laundry, Washington Laundry, Terminal Cold Storage Company, Washington Abattoir, West Brothers Brick Company, G. A. Fuller's Stone Quarry and the Sterrett Company. In the recent Rockville change-over by the Potomac Electric Power Company, the entire motor change to 60 cycles from 25 was carried out by this organization. We have every confidence that the citizens of Washington for whom Central Armature Works make Caloroil installa- tions will be well assured of complete and lasting satisfaction.
