"TO CATALOGUE MEN." 

 This is the title of a pamphlet sent 

 out by the Horticultural Department, 

 H. A. Bunyard, manager, of the Ni- 

 trate Agencies. 102 Pearl street, New 

 York. It exploits the new idea of Fer- 

 tilizers and Insecticides on large and 

 small saleable units, so that the cata- 

 logue man may readily accommodate 

 the mail order trade which comes in 

 for fertilizers put up in handy form 

 and sizes to suit all, thus fUling a 

 "long felt want." The pamphlet lists

TO RESTRICT USE OF FUEL IN 

 PRODUCING WINDOW GLASS. 



After nearly three months of inves- 

 tigation and discussion with the inter- 

 ests involved, Fuel Administrator 

 Harry A. Garfield has issued an order 

 limiting the use of fuel for the pro- 

 duction of common window glass to 50 

 per cent of the amount manufactured 

 in 1917. 



A survey of the field indicated that 

 not more than 5,000,000 boxes of win- 

 dow glass would be used in 1918 and 

 that competitive conditions were like- 

 ly to result in an overmanufacture of 

 this material by at least two or three 

 million boxes, probably more. Each 

 manufacturer was willing in the gen- 

 eral interest to reduce his output to 

 the extent mentioned, if assured that 

 his competitors would be bound by the 

 same restrictions. 



Representatives of the workmen 

 have taken part in the discussion and 

 have agreed to make their part of the 

 sacrifice. The order was delayed until 

 this patriotic agreement had been 

 made practically 100 per cent com- 

 plete.
