ED. :* .. ..'.:- =. ; 4: -}

It is no secret In the. automobile
trade that newspaper use is particu-
larly hard on a motor car or delivery
wa 9on. The necessity for constant
rush and the habit all newspapers
have of getting results, without spar
ing men or equipment, combine to
make a newspaper assignment one
that only the sturdiest sort OF con-
struction can survive. '
An instance characteristic OF news
paper cruelty to automobiles comes
from The Detroit Free Press, which
maintains little fleet OF Studeoaker
"20" roadsters.
ON the Friday before the annual au-
torinobile show number, II. H. SnuarT'
manager of the papers automobile de-
partment, started on final round OF
the factories, salesrooms and branches
of Detroit in one of the Studeoaker
cars. The time was a. m. ana tne
weather biting cold. Most OF the stops
were short ones and Shuart was in a
hurry, so he didn't take time to shut
off and blanket the motor but let it
run idle, whenever he left the cars
cozy Interior.
The trips continued all day and well
into the evening, for several advertis-
ing men had to be seen at their homes.
At IL D. m. Shuart rolled back to the
OIIlCe. by IlIlS LlLAlO AIC hn0 @SA 5OkNSNA
his car had a motor.
At a. m. he emerged from the
building and prepared to hail a taxi.
He was delighted to note, however,
that the garage man had not put his
faithful Studebaker to bed. The mo-
tor was still running. Shuart accord
ingly jumped in and drove home. He
was too tired to care what became OF
the car so he left 1t at the curb and
went to bed. leaving a 8 o'clock call.
At $3.50 the faithful roadster well
coined its pilot with lights still burn
ing. Shuart put out the lights. AS he
did so, he noted that the motor was
purring pleasantly. That he had left
the car the night before, without shut
ting off the switch dawned on the
newspaper man. He grinned and drove
away, pausing to do several erralds
en- route to the Office.
At II a. m. he turned the car In at the
garage after q nonstop run of twenty
six hours. There was still plenty of
fuel and oil in the tanks and, despite
the large amount of idle running, the
radiator was nearly full of water. The
car seemed as fresh as at the start.
Incidentally 1t had more than paid
for itself by the service rendered dur
ing those stirring twenty six hours of
constant toll.

jury, and supply the means for re-
pairing.
Tell men how Oil will injure tires.
Tell the wasteful, careless methods
which double tire upkeep.
SHOW men how injured tires can be
easily repaired. Point out the need
for a Goodyear repair kit carried in
the car. --..-- -.,
SHOW how tires which are often
sent to the scrap heap can be made to
render hundreds of miles of service.
And keep on hand all the means we
supply for getting this extra service.
Let car owners know you handle
these accessories by displaying them
in the show case. .-'.
You can save your customers, if
you will, a very large part of their
tire expense. And the way to get
them and to keep them is to make this
fact apparent.
Lately a haberdasher, in. The. Sat
urday Evening Post, told how he made
a fortune in mems furnishings. He
advised men on proper dress. He be-
came an authority on things which
few men knew. In town after town
he won the trade because he rendered
service. Others cut his prices, but
they failed to give men what they
wanted most.
There is hardly line where serv-
ice counts for more than it does in
the tire business. If you simply sell
tires, you have plenty of competition.
But if you help men cut their tire up
keep, your rivals will be only men as
wise as you"

quently started by the spark. In this
connection a typical incident was mar
rated in which Cadillac started on
the spark after being five weeks in
transit on it's way from Detroit to
Vancouver, B. c., the charge of gas
having been retained in the cylinder
all that time.
Now comes the Cadillac dealer at
Winnipeg with. similar incident
which puts the Vancouver story COM
pletely in the shade.
Joseph Mcdonald, of Winnipeg.
about to depart for England, decided
to take his Cadillac with him, and
gave instructions for shipment. The
car was drained and loaded Dec. 10, its
destination being st. Johns, where it
was to be transferred to a steamer
for the old country. Transportation
was so slow, however, that before it
arrived three boats had sailed from
st. Johns. Mr.. Mcdonald cabled,
therefore, to have it sent back to Win
nipeg as there would not be time
enough for him to get any use out of
the car while abroad. The Cadillac
was caught at St Johns before it had
been removed from the freight, es1
and was returned to Winnipeg with
out being touched. 't ~
It arrived home and was unloaded
Feb. 90. Therefore during ten weeks
Of the cold season it had remained in
the freight car: Yet after unloading,
it started on the spark and the Win
nipeg dealer feels that he is therefore
justified in claiming the record for this
particular kind of Cadillac perform

forty five seconds during the entire

This, however, is not the difficult
task it might be. Although the COM

many cars as it did all last year, it
has, far from tilled the orders that

have piled in upon it from all parts
Of the civilized world.
If the output took a year to be sold
then the average would be car ev-

tire twelve months, But that isn't the
way with the Ford Motor Co. outputs
Last year the order books closed in
June, the year before that they did
the same thing and indications this
year point to the order books closing
even before the time they did the
past two years.
Right now the company is some

appear from this that to date Fords
have been selling a great deal more
rapidly than one every forty -five sec
onds, one in les than every half min
ute would more nearly hit it.
A good idea of the tremendous vol
ume of Ford sales is instanced oy
those in California during the month
of January. In the f1rst twenty days
of that 449 Model T's were registered
in that state. That was an average
of twenty two cars sold each day
with none thrown In for extra meas
lire. Sales in other states and for
eign countries. are in keeping With
those of California. And from now
on they will grow much faster un-
til the entire output is exhausted
which in all probability will be With
