Join hands with successful business men, manufacturers and bankers of Indianapolis. Participate in the profits of the Midwest Engine Company. Here is an industry that is already successful. At this writing there are orders on the books of the Midwest Engine Company for over THIRTY THOUSAND UTILITORS, with a persistent demand from the biggest truck and tractor builders in America for the new Midwest high speed, heavy duty truck and tractor engine. Today, when farmers, fruit growers and truck raisers are looking for a means with which to solve the labor situation and still maintain an ever increasing food production, the Midwest Utilitor is filling a definite need and taking its place as one of the important stabilizers of our economic life. The Utilitor is a simple mechanical device, correctly engineered and sturdily built—a machine that does the work in the field of one horse or mule and on the belt the work of a three-horse power engine. The Utilitor does not supplant animal power, but saves it. The Utilitor helps food raisers to get better work done—faster and at less expense. The Midwest Truck and Traction Engine is an indication of this company’s ability to keep abreast of logical commercial development. Pneumatic tires on trucks plus good roads, very naturally produced a demand for a greater average speed from trucks. The Midwest Engine Company is the FIRST heavy duty engine that will operate continuously under full load at either HIGH or low engine speeds. So basically right are these two products, that the Midwest Engine Company could be successful in a large way from manufacture

Mrs. Wright Funeral Tomorrow Morning Funeral services for Mrs. Louisa A. Wright, 79, who died at St. Vincent's hospital yesterday following an operation, will be held at the home of Frank N. Lewis, 3221 North Pennsylvania, at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. Mrs. Wright was born in Ibdlsnapolis March 12, 1841, near the present site of the Fletcher Savings and Trust building, Market and Pennsylvania streets. She was the daughter of William Wiley, one of the early settlers. Most of her life was spent In Indianapolis. She was for a number of years an officer of the Indianapolis Orphans’ home and at tb death of her only child, Catherine, who married W. 11. Talbott, she founded the Catherine Home for Aged Women, which was later merged with
and sale of either one of them alone—independent of the magnificent line of pumps and turbines produced by its Anderson plant. There is ndt a weak spot in the whole Midwest line-up—the facilities are incomparable; the products are world famed and can never be built in sufficient quantities to meet anything like the full demand for them; and the men of the Midwest Engine Company are of the very strongest and best type—universally recognized as such. Not to be overlooked, is the fact that behind Midwest there has gathered a group of determined successful men representing great composite financial and business strength. Joining hands with these men should be both safe and profitable. Your investment in Midwest is backed by physical assets of sound value—sixty acres of land inside the city limits of Indianapolis, which could not be replaced, five acres of ground in the city limits of Anderson, with buildings of the most modem construction, which, in turn, are filled with machinery and equipment appraised at over two million dollars. The lands, buildings and equipment of the Midwest Engine Company alone are ap* praised at' over five and a quarter millions. The priceless good will of the Midwest is not taken into consideration. The famous Midwest “Dependable Power” trademark, known all over the civilized world, could scarcely bo bought at any figure. Participate in the largest single industrial enterprise ever backed by Indiana capital. By all the rules of conservative business, the returns from your investment should be propoiv tionate. This is the sound opinion of the men from whom you have sought business advice in times past,
