national motor truck win was in the
State of Michigan, which is, as every
body knows, the great motor truck
manufacturing center. 1t is said that
there are more motor truck makers In
Michigan than in any other State in
the Union. or in almost any two or
three States. Michigan is as famous
for its motor vehicles as Kentucky is
for its race horses. and 1t is fair to
assume that 1t is in the State of Michi-
gan where motor truck sales organ
izations are the strongest and compe-
tition the keenest.
Although our main Office and the
factory are clear outside of the State,
we didn't do thing, to Michigan
with advertising as an ally. Michigan
registrations of motor trucks for the
first half of 1915 show that we are far
in the lead. / have here a list of the
registrations. arranged alphabetically
by makes. which shows the regis
trations as they fiuctuate from month
to month.
"The figures tell their own story and
show International registrations for
the first half of the year to amount to
lust 324 trucks, which the nearest
competitor totals 259. This manufac-
turer is not competitor of ours,
strictly speaking. because its trucks
are built in sizes from 1000 pounds to
six tons hauling capacity: Inter
national trucks, as you probably know,
are in the 1000 to 1000 pound class.
THE closest competitor selling
trucks of the same capacity has a
total of III. 1t may be seen from the
list that many of the trucks are Michi-
gan products.
You ask me how we invaded Michi-
gan with all these manufacturers on
the ground. Unquestionably our ad-
vertising helped us much. We have
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-11-13

qualities in our trucks which we can
tell the people about in advertise
ments and get their interest. Every
businessman nowadays may not own a
motor truck, but he at least is inter-
ested in one.
I'VE feel more like trusting the fate
of our motor truck business to q
1udicious cultivation of the home mar
ket through advertising than to chas-
ing the phantom of war orders. This
year while many manufacturers have
been watching the bubble of big war
business we have been plugging the
home market and doubling our busi-
ness. This old United States is one
good place to sell motor trucks if you
have the right trucks and are not
afraid to advertise"

ADVERTISING IS
GREAT SALES AID
International Harvesting Co.
Double Sales Through News
paper Advertising

o. Fl. Browning, motor truck sales
manager for the International Har-
vester Company, was asked last night
to account for the large 1915 increases
in international motor truck sales.
The Harvester company has doubled
its motor truck business in 1915 and
the increased production at the COM
pany's works at Akron, Ohio. recently
made possible new schedule of prices
heretofore unheard of in the motor
truck industry.
Il think the newspapers are partly
responsible" said Mr.. Browning, 'for
our big increase in business We have
always been persistent advertisers, and
during the current year we have made
more thorough test than ever before
of nwspaper advertising. The results
have been satisfactory; in fact, every
thing has combined to double our
business over last year. Our new prices
are the result. The more trucks people
buy. the cheaper they can get them.
You see, advertising enables you to
invade every city with your motor
trucks If you have sales organization
to take care of the prospects. Our
head office is located in Chicago and
the factory is at Akron, Ohio, yet we
are the greatest distributors of motor
trucks all over the country.
TT is true that International motor
trucks lead in Chicago with 242 trucks,
the nearest competitor having IT'S.
But we lead also in st. Louis, accord
ing to the Democrat, with II,
the nearest mpetitor-making trucks
xelusively-having 81, and our lead
ership extends to practically every large
city in the country. Advertising en-
ables us to go anywhere. as far from
the manufacturing base as our selling
organization will permit. If you have
motor truck of unusual quality, you
can introduce it into any city by ad-
vertising. supported by statesmen.

Meaning of Symbols on
CadiIIoc Coat of Arms

Since the Cadillac Eight has appear
ed with the coat of arms of Antoine
de La Mothe Cadillac on its radiator
as distinguishing mark, many peo-
pie have inquired as to the meaning of
the escutcheon.
While this device does not appear in
the available works on heraldry, the
Detroit Public Library has gathered
considerable information concerning
1T and has arrived at its general i'm
port.
In the upper left and lower right
quarters appear six fowls. These are
cygnets, or young swans. They SYM
boliZe purity of descent The crest
above the shield is the crown of a
Ivicomte-or viscount in English-in-
dicating the rank of Cadillacs nobil-
ity. Dictionaries of heraldry define the
black bars across the quarters con-
tanning the swans as "burrulets' and
say they symbolic one who sets the
bar of conscience and religion and
honor against angry passions and evil
temptations" The blue as seen in the
emblem on the radiator of the car de-
notes loyalty and truth; the gold, gen
erosity and elevation of mind, and the
red still other virtues
The ancient coat of arms was a gem
eral symbol of the ideals of the family
to which it belonged. and it's whole
meant considerably more than a mere
aggregate of it's parts. To the old
leaders like Cadillac. the family es-
cutcheon was a sacred thing, and its
degradation was to be avoided or pre-
vented at all costs. even if that meant
.siving up ones life.
