INTEREST IN FLANDERS CAR
Light Panel Delivery Wagon At

Among the various interesting exhibits

Square Garden, none attracted a larger
crowd than the Studebaker T.. NJ. f. exhibit
in the first balconoy, just to the right Of the
main entrance where a crowd Of pros
pectlve purchasers and dealers are con-
stantly inspecting the new Flanders light
panel delivery wagon which IS on display
for the first time.
Commenting upon the spontaneous in

automobile department Of the Studebaker

4 SMART ELECTRIC COUPE

Since the first announcement of the Stand
ard electric coupe, manufactured at Jack
son, Mich. the demand for local agencies
throughout the country has kept Mr.. Krue-
ger and his colleagues busy. Until the car
appeared at the Grand Central Palace, how
ever they did not appreciate the demand
for a moderate priced electric car.
The Standard electric section at the show
has been literally besieged from the outse'
by spectators attracted by the nodlsh lines
and the superior mechanical features oil
the coupe. The common question has been:
How can you sell II for so little money?
Features which have elected attention ana
admiration are the long wheel base CSt
inches), low hung frame, the non-vibratine
steering apparatus, and, most Of all, the
straight line shaft drive, without the uni
versal jolnt and the continuous torque
controller. permitting Of six speeds for-
ward and three reverse, and range OF
speed from five to twenty-five miles an
hour.

HUGE AUTOMOBILE DEAL
New Company to Retail Commen
and Guy Vaughan Machines.
WILL ERECT BIG BUILDING
Arrangement Leaves w. 9. p.
Firm Free to Attend Sole
ly to Production.

One OF the most sensational announces
ments ever issued in connection with tho
handling Of motor vehicles in New York
City has just been made by Wyckoff.
Church G. Partridge. Inc. The firm has
entered into a contract with the Trapspor-
tation Sales Company Involving the pur-
chase by the latter concern OF CONNER
trucks and Guy Vaughan pleasure cars, to
the extent of at least a million dollars
during the current year. This stupendous
deal takes with 1t the exclusive represen-
tation of CONNER trucks and Guy Vaughau
cars in greater New York
The new company will operate from
the present headquarters OF Wyckof.
Church & Partridge, Inc. at seth street ana
Broadway, having taken a lease OF that
location for its salesrooms and offices.
Wyckon, Church & Partridge. Inc, will
retain space in the same building for It's
general executive offices The broadened
plans of the new company include the erec-
tion of a large six story building in which
will be installed a complete repair shop and
service department This same building
will also include a mammoth public truck
garage. with spaces and accommodations
for at least two hundred motor vehicles.
Since last March. when the first an-
nouncements were made by Wyckons
Church Partridge regarding the ex-
elusive importation and manufacture OF
CONNER trucks in the United States the
demand has developed greatly I'm excess OF
the ability to meet the needs Of the firms
customers. In May every CONNER truck
which could be imported from England had
been sold. BY June SO per cent of the
firms customers had given repeat orders.
The time came when the problem Of sell-
ing was not so important as the problem
OF manufacturing TO meet the demand, and
It was for this reason that the firm de-
cided to allow others TO take care OF the
New York retah selling while It devoted
itself entirely 10 the work connected with
truck production and agency expansion.
The Transportation Sales Company is com-
posed OF experienced automobile men and
engineers. fully capable OF dealing with the
New York City situation.

FAR AHEAD OF OLD RECORD
Alco Truck Pounding Off the
Hours Over New Jersey Roads.

"Old record, lB hours; new record. 259
hours-and the nonstop Alco truck is still
pounding off the hours for the United
States Express Company over the icy hills
of New Jersey"
That was the word received last night
from the crew in charge OF this vehicle.
which is engaged In what Is generally
considered the most practical demonstra-
ton OF motor truck economy and reliability
ever held When the shift Of drivers
changed in the evening IL was announced
that close to $50 tons Of merchandise
294,2S pounds, to be exact-have been
hauled to their destinations since the run
started Totals Of 673 miles and s34 stops
for purpose Of loading and distributing
goods have been registered.
The truck continued in service yesterday,
contending with the same obstacles that
have beset it since the service began
ice coated hills, bad roads, winds and near
zero weather. In twenty-four hours the
vehicle hauled 1850 pounds Of parcels and
boxes, covered seventy-one miles and made
eishty-fOur stops in the course OF sixteen
trips between Communipaw and Hoboken.
At the offices OF the Alco Harry 5.
Houpt, manager of sales, expressed his
qualification OF the success Of this remark
able truck.
Figures received thus far on the service
performed show beyond doubt the su-
perlority of the motor truck. This truck
has replaced five two-horse teams, which
means ten horses, and four men are doing
the work formerly calling for ten," said
Mr.. Houpt. This run was undertaken to
prove by actual business tests-the kind
that business men are interested in-just
what are the possibilities Of the motor

The value Of steel wheels for heavy SER

facturers and users OF heavy commercial

trucks in Europe have almost universally
adopted this construction. and think can
