MOTOR TRUCK EFFICIENCY
White Machines Did Good Work
Following Equitable Fire.

The efficiency OF the motor truck was
clearly demonstrated during the work OF
clearing away the ruins OF the Equitable
Building. Immediately after the fire. Can
avan Brothers, who have charge OF the
wrecking operations. discovered on Tuesday
morning that one of the walls which re-
mained standing was threatening to COL
lapse at any moment and in order TO save
adjoining property from considerable dam
age, II was necessary to get prompt ac-
tion. At II o'clock on Tuesday morning
the wrecking company telephoned the yell
low Pine Lumber Company to rush them
number of S0-foot beams. 12 inches square
to use as supports for the threatening wall
and specified that the first load must arrive
by o'clock that afternoon.
The company's lumber yard was more
than three miles away, and. under Ordinary
conditions, II would have been imposslpie
to get the supports to the building on time
The lumber company, however, recen'S
purchased a fleet of five White iiVe-toii
trucks, and, loading one OF these with SIN
teen beams of the required size-a weight
OF nearly eight tons-dispatched II inlrtle-
diately to the scene of action. The truck
reached the burned building before l
O'Clock. and three more loads were dellV-
cred by the same truck by O'CLOCK the
time specified for the FIRST.

BROOKLYN SHOW PLANS
seventy-fo four Dealers Make Ar
ranpements for Space.

Notwithstanding the fact that last year =
show Of the Brooklyn Motor Vehicle Deal
ers' Association was pronounced one OF
the prettiest and most comprehensive
dealers exhibition ever held, the show
managers say that the forthcoming affair
Will be better from every viewpoint than
their first effort. There will be more ex-
hibitors and larger variety in both cars
and accessories. Already space has been
taken for seventy-four different makes OF
cars. The exhibition will be held In the 23d
Regiment Armory, from February "a TO
March 2, inclusive.
{. II. Green, the manager, is besieged
daily for more space by the car exhibitors,
and although there is available more floor
space for motor cars than at Madison
Square Garden, II is impossible TO comply
With the requests Of exhibitors. The bulk
Of the exhibitors at the Garden and Palace
shows will have their machines on dis
play. Several new exhibitors of both pleas
uTe and business wagons were added 10

The Brooklyn dealers are anxious TO live
UP TO the reputation they made for them
bViNNS idSt otoSoIl, anu uOfn present lndt-
cations the affair two months hence will
be imposing. Practically all OF the more
important makes Of automobiles will be dis
played in the armory. One Of the features
OF the 1911 show was the beautiful decora.
tions The armory affords ample oppor-
tunity for the artist and designer TO work
70 advantage. and It is expected that the
decorative. scheme for tho Forthcoming
show will surpass even that Of the first.
Because OF its accessibility to every sec
ton Of Long Island, with its hundreds of
homes of wealthy people and its ideal
touring conditions, Brooklyn is considered
an important automobile selling point by
the manufacturers. and consequently they
are not averse 10 giving an exhibition in

Will Describe New Cars
by Other Methods.

At the last meeting Of the Automooiie
Board of Trade il was decided to officially
abandon the use of season models identified
by yearly dates, so that In future there VIII
not be any 1912 or 1913 models, but the
changes incorporated by the different man
ufacturers will be designated in some other
way-by series numbers, letters or similar
designation referring to mechanical changes
irrespective of date The logic OF TINS Is
clear, since the actual date OF car is the
day It was put in service, and the mileage
Il has made is as important q consideration
as that date
In connection with this action 1t is inter-
esting to note that year ago w. {. Shep-
herd. president OF the Matheson Automoblie
Company, of Wilkes-B Barre, Penn. declared
against this method. Others held the same
view. one or two had already abandoned
the idea bun Mr.. Shepherds reason was
the first public argument for a general
abandonment Of the practice.
Take the buying public into your con-
fldence," said Mr.. Shepherd, in part The
public will size the situation up correctly
anyway, whether you do or not. Does not
the intending purchaser of car know that
the manufacturer goes on, month after
month, refining, experimenting, building
inst the same. regardless. of sales of cars
as 1912 or by any other car mark or Sc
ries?

Why not designate the current models as
