short time, the company already has
many patrons.

now doing the work of three bicycle
deliverymen, at the Crosby Depart
ment store at Topeka, Kas.
About fifty motorcycles are used by
the Bell Telephone company in Allie
gheny county, Pa. The county is very
rough and hilly, and the two-wheeler
is about the only vehicle which can
successfully cover it.
Twenty-Five thousand miles is the
distance that has been covered by a
motorcycle used for delivery purposes
by Carson, Piral and Scott, of Chicago.
And the machine apparently is good
for another $4,000 miles.
Seven additional motorcycles have
been purchased for use of the signal
corps of the Second Division of the
army station at Texas City.

1900 Cars Shipped in
June Is Saxon Record

Records for previous months in the
shipments of Saxon cars were broken
during the month of June. when 1900
machines, or an average of seventy
cars a day for twenty-six working
days, went forward from the factory
in Detroit. These cars were shipped
to all parts of the country, and brought
the total number of Saxons delivered
in the past four months to 5000. The
biggest day produced a high mark of
102 cars that number being the out
put on June %.
The June output which was in ex-
cess of the production schedule
showed an increase of close to 100
per cent. over the record for May It
was necessary to turn down some or
ders, number of dealers requesting
double and triple their original allot-
ment. One dealer in the east asked
for a carload a day, while another
in the west put in a bid for an entire
trainload of cars during the month
Throughout the south and middle
west the demand was also unusually
brisk.
This showing by the Saxon Motor
company is unprecedented in the his
tory of the automobile industry for
any concern during it's first year after
starting production. According to C.
F. Jamison, sales manager, the biggest
task, despite the size of the shipments,
was to keep up with the flood of or
ders that came in to the factory.
The remarkable records in ship
ments are attributed largely to a num-
ber of unusual performances to the
credit of cars now in service, par
| ticularly the 3,3S9-mile trip across the
continent by the Lincoln Highway
Saxon car, and the average of 3453
miles per gallon of gasoline made by
more than one hundred Saxons in as
many cities on the occasion of the ma
tion-wide 200-mile nonstop runs.

Uncle Dan" Schnabel Finds Sure
Remedy For Common
Motoring Pest

One of the summer touring annoy
ances is always the motorist who
monopolizes the center of the high
way, regardless of the rate at which
he is travelling, and thereby compels
those who want to pass him, to do so
at either inconvenience or consider
able risk.
Three or four such drivers, scat
tered along a dusty, narrow highway,
can remove from the motoring pleas
ure of others so much that there is
little left.
Since July 4, however, such expert
ences have not befallen Uncle Dam
Schnabel, veteran motorist of Johns
town, Pa. Uncle Dan" now takes
the road prepared for just such emer-
gencies.
His Independence Day celebration
took the form of a jaunt from Johns
town to Altoona famous mountain
road. He had also provided himself
and party with a plentiful supply of
noisemakers and fireworks.
Several miles out of Johnston, on a
narrow part of the highway, Uncle

The plan is to form automobile clubs
in those places that have none at
present. This includes Madison, which
will organize one. There is a good
club at Mount Horeb, and another at
Sun Prairie.
Madison has been active in road
building in the past, chiefly from an
aesthetic point of view. The Park and
Pleasure Drive association has raised
large sums Oh money by private sub
scription for the betterment OF the
lake drives.

You derive your profit not from the
circulation that your advertisement
gets, but from circulation that gets
people to buy.
II two newspapers offer you their
columns and one shows distribution

towns that rely upon your city for buy

as much circulation, but only one-third
OF 1t is In local territory, mere bulk

another case of the big steak-you pay
for more than you can digest That
part of its influence which is con-
centrated where men and women can't
get your goods after you get their at
tention is sheer waste.
By dividing the number of copies he
prints into his line rate, a publisher
may fallaciously demonstrate to you
that his space is sold as low as that
Of his stronger competitors, but if half
his circulation Is too far away to bring

Record of the Inquisition.

One hundred years ago Ferdinand
VII restored the Inquisition in Spain.
The inquisition was designed to punish
heresy and spiritual offenses and had
been established for centuries In vari-
Gus countries of Europe In Spain the
sentences of the inquisitorial courts
were carried out with untold cruelties,
the burning Of the victims at the stake
being one of the commonest forms of
punishment. One of Napoleon's first
acts after he had conquered Spain was
to abolish the inquisition. After it's
restoration by Ferdinand VII 1t con-
tinued to exist but six years, being
finally abolished by the cortes in 1920.
Historians have reckoned that more
than thirty thousand persons were put
to death and nearly three hundred
thousand otherwise punished during
the 236 years that the inquisition exist
ed in Spain.

Mites

When a man has been left all alone In the
say
When he's picked up his rations wherever
he could while his wife and the kids
were away
When he's had to take care of his laundry
himself and at night had to aimlessly
roam,
Or sit In the gloom of small rented room
he learns that there's no place like
home.
When a man who has longed to be free
from the cares that husband and
father must learn
When holes have appeared in the linen he
wears and the first days of autumn
return
When there's no one to scold If his spirits
are low or his stock Of contentment
Is small
that there's no place like home, after
ell.
When a house-broken man who has
grumbled he had to shut windows at
night
Who has often complained In his Ats of the
blues that the fates had him marked
for their spite
When man such as he has for two or
three months found not long hair
in his comb,
And been free from restraint his sole
solemn plant is that there is no
place like home.

Points on
Advertising
By HERBERT KAUFMAN
(COpyright.)
Some Don'tS When You Do AG-
VertiSe.

The price of the gun never hits the
bulls eye,
And the bang seldom rattles the
bells.
It's the hand on the trigger that cuts
the real figure.
The aims what amounts-that's what
makes record counts
Are you hitting or just wasting
shells?
Don't forget that the man who writes
your copy Is the man who aims your
policy.
When you stop to reflect what your
space costs and that the wrong talk
is just nose-bang without biff-you
must see the necessity and sanity of
putting the right man behind the gun.
Don't tolerate an ambition On your
adman's part to indulge in lurking
desire to be a literary light.
People read his advertising to dis
cover what your buyers have just
brought in from the market and what
you are asking for 20. N. T." They
buy the newspaper for Information
and recreation and are satisfied with
the degree Of poetry and persi1age
dished up in it's reading columns.
Don't exaggerate. Poetic licenses
are not valid in business prose. The
American people don't want to be
humbugged and the merchant who fig
ures upon too many fools finds him.
self looking into mirror, usually
about half hour after the sheriff has
come to look over the premises
Don't Initiate. Advertising is a
special measure garment. Businesses
are not built in ready-made Sizes Copy
which fits somebody else's selling
plans won't fjt your store without sag
ging at the chest or riding up at the
collar. Duplicated argument and du-
pllcated results are not twins. Your
policy Of publicity must be specially
measured from your policy Of mer-
chandising.
Don't put your advertising in charge
OF an amateur Let somebody else
stand the expense Of his educational
DIQhOClS. hSluOluU6E you are uldk1uS
a plea before the bar of public conf
dence. Your adwriter is an advocate.
Like a bad lawyer, he can lose good
case by not making the most of the
facts at hand.
Don't get the "saIes" habit "Sales"
are stimulants. When held too often
their effect is weakening. The mer-
chant who continually yells "bargan"
Is like the old hen who was always
crying fox" When the real article
did come along none of her chicks
believed It.
Don't use fine print Make it easy
for the reader to find out about your
business. There are ten million pairs
Of eyeglasses worn in America, and
every owner of them buys something
And Don't start unless you mean to
stick. The patron saint Of the sue
cessful advertiser hates gutter.
