RECORD STRAWBERRY CROP An estimated. shipment of 4,160 cars of Ozark strawberries over Frisco rails during the 1928 sea- son was announced April 16 by the agricultural department, following completion of a survey of the berry producing sections in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma served by the road. Sarcoxie, Mo., long a leader in strawberry production, heads the list of estimated shipments by towlls, with 465 cars slated for the IN MEMORY OF THOSE coming season as compared with WHO HAVE AOdE ON an actual shipment last year of 263 TUnT LONG JWMEY- cars. Springdale, Ark.. is second with an estimated shipment of 460 cars, as compared with 256 cars in 1927. Or the 75 towns from which strawberry shipments will be made, 13 other than Sarcoxie and Spring dale will ship more than 100 cars. Those thirteen towns are: Van Buren, Fayetteville, Farmington, Prairie Grove, Rogers, Butterfield and Purdy in Arkansas; Peirce City, Seneca, Monett, Aurora and Billings in Missouri. The shipping season began on the Frisco Lines about April 25, and will continue until about June flrst, Frisco officials estimate. The rapid growth of the straw- berry industry in the Ozark terri- tory is accurately reflected in the increase of the Frisco's carlot ship- ments since 1925. In that year 1,585 cars of berries were handled by the Frisco.

railing method of obtaining refrigeration in transit on Amer- THEicanpre' Railroads is by means of naturally-circulated air, cooled either by contact with ice or mixtures of ice and salt, placed in ice contaiilers or bunkers located at each end of an insulated car; or brine contained in tanks. Some modifications of this system and others differing radically have been designed and operated, but are not in extensive use. Refrigerator cars may be divided into two general types: one. equipped wit11 brine tanks and generally used for carrying nieats; the other. equipped with ice bunkers and used principally Lor carrying com- modities such as eggs, butter, vegetables and fruit.

OVERALLS & WORK PANTS

To My Friend in Overalls: The next time you need a pair of over- alls, I want you to go to your dealer and ask him to show you a pair of Keys. Then kindly examine them closely, note the splendid, long wearing fast color denim, the big deep strong pockets and the good workmanship. Try on a pair and see how com- fortable they are and how well theg fit. If you like them buy a suit.

And -- after you have worn them, if for any reason theg prove unsatisfactory, return them to your dealer, get your money back or a new pair free. --This is my personal guarantee.

-7-. -7-. President. THE XCKEY %FG. 60.

T.S. -- If you cannot find Key Garments in your city, send us your dealer's name and we will see that you are supplied. 'Vrite for free sample of Key Denim.
