that you all vise

me thitt the salt shortage in the
Som'heastern States last winter
and spring was occasioned by
the shortage pf goal for the
manufacture of salt, and short
age of cars in which to make
shipment of this commodity.
This letter says that tlie-same
oonditions are likely to be in
effect this- winter, Therefore
dealerfc in salt should be urged
to place their orders either at
this time or at least far enough
ahead of their requirements to
anticipate delay in shipment. .
