A few years ago, the selection Of IN
electric pleasure car was extremely
difficult. There were many things to
consider.
Today II Is an easy matter. For
any electric is now good investment.
The aH-hn,portanf thing is to get The
night hind Of tires.
Remember this: the best pneumatic
tires in the world are liable to punc-
taTe or blos0 out at any moment
demand constant repairs and seldom
give over 5000 miles service.
On the other hand, soEdrubber tires
allow an electric to jolt and quickly
ruin its meehanieal parts. They also
lessen greatly the occupants comfort.
But there Is q tire which combines
the good points Of pneumatic and
solid tires, yet has no disadvantages.
It's the Motz Cushion Tire.
A tire that after years test is used
by most owners of electrics and
adopted by every leading maker Of
pleasure electrics.
No user of Motz Cushion Tire was
ever annoyed by punctures or blow
outs, or by damaging bumps or jolts.
These tires have no air IN them,
yet they ride as if air-inflated, except
under excessive speed.
Pneumatic resiliency and easy
riding qualities have been duplicated
bymeans Of great mechanical inven-
tion-by the creation of ingenious
double treods, sianfpise bridges and
undercuf sides.
Look at the picture. Note the
double, notched treads "A in picture),
which prevent skidding and distrib-
ute the weight to the sides. The sides
are undercut (see b., which allows

New Machine Strips
Cotton Meal Cakes
Work Formerly Done Painfully, by

High Speed, Automatically.

Disguised with the antiquated pro-
cess in vogue Of stripping the camel
hair press cloths from cotton meal

chine which does the work
The machine, which is to be man
ufactured by the Buesse Machine
Works of Atlanta, was exhibited at
the Cotton oil Mill Superintendents'
Convention in Atlanta.
From a slotted cylinder Of smooth
steel sharp claws project when the
operator presses treadle. These
claws seize the press cloth and tear
IL from the cake within a second or
two, then drop the cloths on the
floor.
The work always has been done by
hand, and as the cloths have to be
stripped off while the cakes are hot,
the laborers employed for this pur-
pose often suffered agonies from blis-
tered hands.
They had to be specially trained,
also, while an unskilled workman can
operate the new machine at higher
speed than the work could be done by
hand.
The device attracted considerable
attention from the oil mill men in at
tendance at the convention.

One Price For All
New JObbing Policy
Customers Given no Preference Be-
cause of Being Able to Give
Large Orders.

The growing tendency on the part
Of large wholesalers TO do away with
quantity prices and discounts Is said
to forecast a new era in business.
II is essentially a movement 70 sup
press unfair competition.
1t is apparently founded on the
basis that the business of the small
dealer Is Just as desirable as that
Of his larger competitor. and that
for this reason, the former should
in no way be handicapped by conces-
sions to the latter because OF his
superior purchasing power
The policy Of the law in several
States is distinctly against all spe-
Cial concessions. whether they are re-
bates or confidential prices, and there
is a marked tendency in business cir
Giles to view them in the same light.
Several nationally known firms have
served notice on their customers IN
the last few months that while large
orders are not 10 be discouraged, they
will be accepted no longer as basis

TRADE MARK IS
WHOLESALERS
BEST WEAPON
Adoption of blouse" Label Pro-
tects Against Price-SIashing
Tactics Of Big Rivals,

Atlanta has reason to thank the de-
vice long known to the world as the
trademark.
The distinctive label of the manu-
facturer ana the jobber has regained
for the city volumes Of trade which il
seemed likely powerful rivals would
annex. and the label has fastened a
grip on this trade which makes any
serious inroads by other cities in fu-
ture extremely improbable
Dry goods give a conspicuous ex-
ample
Not many years ago it was the Gus
tom to sell cloths with the makers
label. Ducks, calico. percales and
ginghams were sold by the name
given them at the mill. The retailers
and even consumers knew them by
this name.
''Iroquois" flannel, for instance
might be as well known to the retail
er and his customers as the best ad .
vertised brand of crackers.
Taking advantage OF this state OF
affairs, great houses in New York,
Baltimore, Chicago, Louisville and St
Louis began to make arrangements
with the mills producing these Well
known lines. They would buy up the
mills entire output, or three quarters
of It. Then their travelling statesmen
would invade Atlanta territory, quot
ing "lroquois" flannel at price below
the figure at which Atlanta jobbers
themselves could get it.
The retailer. Of course. bought The
big competitors of Atlanta made little
on "Iroquoie." but while selling fan
mel their statesmen would load the
dealer with laCes. novelties and other
lines on which there was a good mar
gin Of profit.
Atlanta jobbers suffered in this way
a little while. Then they armed them
selves with the same weapon and
proceeded to fight.
They discarded the mill name for
the goods and adopted one of their
own. "Iroquois" flannel perhaps was
rechristened "Peachtree" flannel. This
label was protected. No mill and no
other iobber than the one adopting II
could use the name "Peachtree"
Obviously, IL became impossible for
the New York jobber to undersel the
Albanian on "Peachtree" goods. The
Gothamite had TO begin the old Just
as-goOd" argument. always a weak
line OF selling talk.
" Iroquois' flannel is just as good as
Peachtree' and half cent cheaper, f"
is not half SO convincing as Peach
tree flannel, half a cent under Atlanta
prices"
So the New York. Chicago. Balti-
more, Louisville and St Louis sales
men began to disappear from the
Southeast. Very few Of them are to
be found I'm this territory now.
In the meantime the atlanta jobber
has built up double protection for
himself, His customers have learned
to call for his goods. and to demand
them in preference to others. on the
other hand. IL some big dealer I'm Chi
cago buys the entire output of a mill
which has been supplying him with
ginghams, he can go TO another mill,
get goods woven under the same
specifications and made identical In
every respect, affiX the same house
