42 THE COAL TRADE BULLETIN.
An exceptionally handsome and useful souvenir
is ine Washington Coal & Coke Co.'s diary for
1905. The space allotted for the daily journal is
ample for any ordinary need, besides which there
is provision for bill and cash records. The construction
of the diary is almost luxurious and
the typography far beyond the accepted standard.
The work also contains a large amount of statistical
information, business and reference tables,
etc., the whole forming a particularly acceptable
acquisition to any office equipment.
o o o
An extensive line of air compressors is described
in the advance sheets of catalogue No. 36,
of the Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Co. Nine classes
of machines, including straight line and duplex,
and for all driving systems, are described and
illustrated. The booklet contains 100 pages of
which a dozen are devoted to heat and power
tables and miscellaneous power information,
which makes the work a valuable compendium
aside from its general usefulness in showing the
progress of air compressor construction and application.
It is announced that catalogue 36 will
contain much additional information and many
more illustrations.
o o o

elevators, etc., which serve to thoroughly
illustrate the system. The remainder of the

handling machinery. o o o

elaborately done in colors, each of the twelve
calendar leaves carrying a beautiful view taken in
Missouri Pacific territory.

Co.'s plant, showing in the foreground a train-load
of the company's product.
