Industry has found cottoin insulation suitable not only for use in homes and other types of buildings, but also for refrigerator cars, trucks and other uses where insulation against heat, cold, or sound is required. An idea of the potential market |br cotton in insulation is given in the study, which covered all phases of the probable postwar competitive situation of this important farm product in domestic markets. If only 10 per cent of the insulating materials used were cotton, from 500,000 to 750,000 bales of cotton would be required annually. iiiipii mmm I'IM*' WoaderLake i i i > i | i | i i (By Dell.

George B. Armstrong of the U. S. Mail Service, with visions of a "postal car" before him, discussed his plan with officials of the "North Western." These far-seeing men saw its Eossibilities, and on August 28th, 81 years ago, a rebuilt mggmge car made the initial "post office" run between Chicago and Clinton, Iowa. I^The postal car quickly proved its value. Three years later "North Western" designed live cars for railway post office service, the first in America built expressly for this purpose. The novelty, of the railway mail car has gone but its utility lives on. A traveling post office,* speeding through the night with thousands of pieces of mail matter to be sorted and ready for distribution in (fir distant communities, still is a vital link in Uncle Sam's mail service. Armstrong, the Father of the Railway Post Office, ^performed an outstandingyservice -- "North Western' is proud of its part in making his dream come true.
