MADE IN NEW YORK
TRUCKS make GOOD
Hurlburt Product, from Fort
George Plant, Finds Many
Admirers.

There has developed in the last TWO
years an extensive demand for Hurl-
burt motor trucks, which. because Of
their sturdy and handsome design, have
become well known on the streets OF
New York. They are made right on the
ground, too, the factory being located
1T Fort George. II IS well EQUIPPED and
modern in every respect.
The Hurlburt truck was placed on
the market after two years Of expert
ment with the worm drive and other
features, and is giving excellent salts
faction in the hands Of large number
of users in widely varied lines Of bust
ness. Direct service is a feature en-
Dhasized by the makers Of the truck,
and this consists not only Of expert as
eistance when necessary, but IN teach
ing the operators how 10 properly run
and care for their machines.
Three capacities are produced one,
two and three and a half tons and IN
each size the wheel base is varied 10
euit the needs of the user. The four
cylinder motors vary in power from
20 to 80 horsepower.
William p. Hurlburt, president Of
the company. is veteran Of the indus
Try, and few wears ago was one Of
the best known and most popular deal
ers on Automobile Row. His change TO
commercial car production is indicative
Of his faith in the big future Of that
division Of the industry.

A NEW JEFFERY -FOUR"
Company Plans Novel Method
of Sharing Prosperity.

Four million dollars worth of truck
orders received in three weeks time,
500 men added to the factory working
force and great organization Of me-
chancs and workmen laboring twenty
four hours q day in three eight-hour
shifts to produce the product have
placed the Jefery organization, in
Kenosha, Wis, at the peak of prosper
ity in the automobile industry.
Two years ago the Kenosha concern
introduced into America the Jeffcry
four" and during the last year it de
yeloped the Jeffery quad-the four
wheel drive truck which has been in
dorsed by the leading governments Of
the world. IL also brought out the
Chesterfield "six."
As result of the sale OF large guam
titles Of these models in all parts of
the world, with a consequent reduction
In manufacturing costs, the company
has decided to place on the market a
high grade four cylinder car at Sl,l50.
The purpose is to give to purchasers
share Of the benefit Of the great pros
perity that has come TO the company.

Notes of the Auto Trade
In and out of NeW York

Stratton, who compose the distributing
firm, consider the rev eight" the abb
solute leader in its line. They have
demonstrated it under all conditions
during the week without finding a sign
Of weakness or place where motor
cars may go that it cannot 90 easily.
One test was made on Niaduct Hill,
which runs up from the 130th Street
ferry to join Riverside Drive, near
Grants Tomb. There are two ways Of
taking this hill. One is 20 run along
the road underneath the viaduct paral-
lei to the river and to rush the hill.
The other is 10 strike Oft from Manhat-
tan Street and to come around hair
pin turn without running start. This
latter was done by the Cole driver. He
rounded the turn al about eight miles
ar hour, pulled right along the stif
grade and at the end had accelerated
to between thirty and thirty-five miles
an hour, without a sign of stress from
the motor.
Another test was 20 stall the motor
and then TO open the throttle, starting
off again on top gear. The car showed
great pulling strength at low speeds, and
il was not necessary TO change gears
in the course of half an hours ride,
through traffic and all. The car is capa-
able of better than sixty miles an hour,

JERSEY MOTORISTS
LOOK FOR RELIEF
New Commissioner, William L.
Dill, Expected to Reduce
Allowances.

The advent Of the new Commissioner
OF Motor Vehicles at Trenton, William
L. Dill, Of Paterson, who will also be
the new Assistant Secretary Of State,
will be hailed with Joy by many motor
lists who have received summons on
fimsy charges to appear for trial in
Trenton before the Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles. The loss Of time and
expense has been serious matter to
many business men, and there was no
help for it, as their not going probably
meant license revocation.
The motorist has been getting it both
by the state and local authorities and
with great regularity, for after being
put through the local mill of justice, on
the complaint OF sometimes an over
ambitious officer, he was also hailed
TO Trenton to appear before the COM
missioner.
The owner OF Ford, a woman whose
car had not been out of her garage for
several days, received summons to
appear in Trenton to answer the charge
OF running her car into a small boy
whose parents were Italians. The IL

AUTO INDUSTRY IS
IN THIRD POSITION
Business Volume Exceed
ed Only by Transporta-
ton and Real Estate.

an the last Gftecn years the auto
mobile industry has grown from prac-
ticaily nothing TO the .hird largest in
America" declares n D. Ryus, Of the
Olds Motor Works. IN so far as the
number Of men employed and the cap
ital invested arc concerned the indus
try is exceeded in volume only by the
transportation companies and real es-
tate interests. Few people realize that
only as far back az 1901 an automobile
was a curiosity, and a man handling
a machine on city streets was looked
upon very much as an aviator to-day.
THE industry has gone through
some remarkable revolutions, and, like
everything that is really worth while,
is to be with us permanently. It is fast
being established along careful bust
ness lines.
even the bankers, who only two or
three years ago looked upon it as a
menace TO the financial Interests of the
country, now consider the automobile
a staple and safe investment. and do
not refuse it the support to which it
is Justly entitled. While II is true
some people have mortgaged their
homes to purchase automobiles, this
practice has not been the main support
of the automobile trade, and to-day
the automobile is looked upon as a
tangible asset of wealth, the same as
real estate.
80 far as the future of the automo-
bile business is concerned, It is un-
doubtedly on as solid q foundation as
any other industry in existence. When
We consider the brief time the auto
mobile has been known, its present
standing j.. the marvel of the business
world.
IF the sales Of the last three months
are any criterion, the European war
has not been q serious handicap to this
particular industry, for the outlook
Tor the year 1915 is the most fattering
in the history of the business, Judg-
ing at any rate from our own expert
