The Atlas Engine Works, of Indianapolis, recognizing 

 that during the ensuing year the uppermost thought in the 

 buyer's mind will be, "where can we get quick shipment of 

 goods wanted," begin with this issue to publish in our col- 

 umns a list of their engines and boilers in stock which will 

 be kept current with each issue. This is an entirely new de- 

 parture in the engine and boiler business. 



The Atlas people have just closed an extraordinary year, 

 claiming to have increased their sales 85 per cent and ship- 

 ments 90 per cent, and it is their proud claim that they have 

 so taken care of the remarkable increase in business as not 

 to have had at the end of their fiscal year one single past 

 due order on their books.
