|AUTO EXPORTS
ARE INCREASING
Good Showing Is Made as to

OF This Port
Hawaii Is a Good Customer

By K. X. PHommedieu

The export of automobiles from San
Francisco is increasing The report
of the exports for February, which
has just been made public, shows that
during the month 26 automobiles. val
ued at $54,9S5. were sent out of this
port to Hawaii. Parts to the value
of $3.5S7 were also shipped to the
same country. During the same period
in 1908 only three m&chines. with a
value of $500, and parts to the VAL
ue of S1,9T1, were sent. This year
one motor car of the value of $500
was sent to Mexico. while last year
nothing outside of what was sent to
Hawaii left the port.

city and in the country. and claims
that with suitable roads, such vehicles
as the Packard three ton truck are
particularly well adapted to farm
hauling. Their greatest efficiency is in
loads for long distances. with infre-
quent stops. Agricultural hauling
meets these requirements at Conyers
Manor exactly. The special motor
