MERRITT WRITES
 ABOUT PREMIER Southern Sales Manager En- thusiastic Over New Model
 for This Season

T. P. Merritt, district sales manager. southern states. for the Premier Motor corporation, and well known in Birming- ham, Is at present at tho Premier fac- tory in Indianapolis.
 In a letter written to The Age-Herald MT. Merritt expresses his enthusiasm over the new Aluminium six, which will make its appearance in the automobile world this week. He writes:
 This new model of the Premier com pany is undoubtedly one of the finest pieces of engineering skill that has ever been my lot to look upon. Tho projectile type of body lines combine strength and beauty, thus making it one of the snap piest cars in point of design on the market.
 Its power and flexibility under all conditions stamps 1t as car with more than ample speed and endurance. There is an atmosphere of hustle and pep" about this factory that is sure to make for it a great success this season. Many of the largest and strongest dealers in the country have been here during the week signing up big contracts for the coming season.
 MT. Merritt will be in Birmingham the latter half of this week.

UNCLE SAM ORDERS
 PACKARD TRUCKS Government Ord1rs to Take Precedence Over All Other
 Work in Factory
By ALLEN J. kREBs, JR.

With government orders taking prece. dence over all other work in the fac tory, in accordance with a recent act of Congress providing for "actual or im- minent war conditions" the Packard Motor Car company of Detroit Is making splendid record in motor truck produc- tion. Since March 20. when the first war department order was received, the com pany has built 517 United States army trucks. All these vehicles with 747 drivers and mechanics, have been shipped to the Mexican border.
 There are about 200 additional Packard chainless trucks on order for the army and the plant Is busy keeping shipments up to schedule. A representative of the quartermasters office in New York is now stationed at the Packard factory to furnish an official record that the rule giving preference to government business Is being rigidly enforced.

q guess I'm an optimist all right, says Sales Manager Rueschaw of the Rec Motor Car company and I suppose a Bruin Banker would discount my enthu- siasm. But when I hear that quotation so aften propounded nowadays, What will business be after the war closes ? I can't but exclaim better!
 "Of course. know we are now en- joying-in fact, reveling in prosperity that is abnormal, but for the life of me l can't see why that prosperity should not be permanent.
 Tt is possible. you know. to keep t0e money after we have made it.
 And though I try, because good busi- ness sense dictates that all should look to the dark as we'll as the bright side so as to anticipate any slump that may come, I feel that this Is one of the times when we need not expect rain just be- cause we've had a prolonged period of bright sunshine.
 T am told that the pendulum must swing to the other extreme,' and all that sort of thing, but no rule would be a rule without an exception to prove it, and surely the world oataclysm through which other countries are now passing is an exception to all rules.
 T don't see that it matter whether a man makes a fortune in one year or 30 years-theres no more reason why he should give 1t back in the one case than in the other.
 Europe has poured more than s3,o 900 into the purses of the Amer, ican people in the last F months, and since all of the munitions contracts are for three years, will continue to pour in for sometime yet.
 That money is here and there's no req son why it should not stay here. Eu- rope is in dire necessity for certain things we could make and sell, and she is paying us for them. There is nothing Europe makes that we must have; there- fore, there is no valid reason why that money should go back.
 We are told, of course, that number of factories formerly idle, are now pros- pering on European business, and that a great many other factories are making abnormal profits from the manufacture of articles outside their regular product.
 This last is important if true and I would ask you to consider the matter more thoroughly.
 The number of factories which for merly were idle and which are now doing profitable business, is small by comparison with the number that for the moment. changed over to the making of articles which Europe wanted and for

.NORTHS|DE TIRE CO.
 HAS BIG BUSINESS

The Northside Tire company's local dis tributors for Miller tires, report an un- usual business for the past week. Al D. Abbott. a member of the firm, and well known in the tire business, stated last night that he was enthusiastic over the increase in business recently.
 '"The automobile owners in this city are realizing that the greatest amount of comfort to be derived from motoring is to have good tires all around in addition to several extra tires when contemplat- ing trip,' said MT. Abbott. Perhaps the increase in business with our con- cern is due to the fact that this week is tourists week all over the United States Regardless of this fact 1t seems that the tire business is getting better all the time. More cars are constantly being sold and the public see that there is no comfort to be had without good tires.
 we have endeavored to give the pur- chaser of Miller tires the best possible road service. This within itself is big item and all to the security of the mo- torist."

VEL|E ''B|LTWEL" SIX
 IS IN GREAT DEMAND.
Remarkable Demand for This Car Has Stamped It
 as a Winner

The phenomenal success of the Velie "Biltw4l" Sizes during the past year, both in quantity and production and serv- ice in the hands of owners, has caused considerable speculation as to what changes or improvements, if any, would be incorporated in the 1917 models, mak- ing them better or more to be desired.
 This first word, therefore, will be of great interest to the entire automobile fraternity, reflecting as it does the ex- perience and ideals of one of America s oldest and most substantial organiza- tions. The trade name "Biltwel." which las long been associated with Velie products, has been acquired as a result of performance and every change re- corded but accents the right to the name.
 The 1917, Model 2S, velie "Biltwel" Six formerly Model 22), shows many inter- esting improvements with new features and much added value.
 Years of use have proven the worth of Velie balance, spring suspension, flex- ible drive and all those things which make up the wonderful Vele riding quail ities. These have been retained and further improved; as for example the equipment of Timken axles and bearings, front and rear, feature heretofore as- sociated with high-priced cars. More power, greater economy, giving the ut most energy from every drop of gaso- line. A further approach to absolute silence. with an even greater sense of motoring satisfaction is the natural ac- complishment of Wide-awal1e. progress sive engineering force.
 Beautiful new bodies apart from the common type are the finest examples of Velie's years of body and vehicle build ing. The style and finish is a marvel of the coach-buiders art. Velie cars must be seen to be appreciated. There is something about them that causes them to stand out with a marked indivi- duality-something apparently unattain- able by builders of more recent origin
 A most interesting feature in the Velie announcement lies in the fact that in spite of the added improvements, the in- crease in value all through and the in- creased cost of materials Velie quality has been strictly maintained and the price remains low-$10S5.
 Seven types of bodies are offered on the Model 2S chassis including a four passenger companionable roadster and several enclosed types. A larger seven passenger six at s155O completes the line, giving the utmost in luxury and refine mont. Velie dealers everywhere are even nc busy showing the new cars

 GIVES b|G PICNIC Employees and Their Fam lilies Enjoy Mammoth Out
 ing at Silver Lake

Pfcnics may come and picnics may go, but this one will be remembered forever. On Saturday, July g, the employees of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company and their families, 25,O0o in number, en- joyed their annual picnic at Silver Lake park, near Akron.
 Special cars were required to carry the picnickers to the park and plenty of room was provided for all. Every mo- ment of the day and evening was brim full of activity and amusement. The activities of the morning included base ball game and soccer football game. The rim plant and tire plant indulged in lively soccer game, while the rim plant and general office force fought out the baseball game to the tune of $50.
 At noon everybody sat down to dinner. coralled by that time-honored custom of the family basket" idea. Tn the after noon another ball game was staged, fol- lowed by field sports and water sports of every description. Prize waltzes, bowling contests and tug of war were also on the list. In the evening there was a spectacular and gorgeous display of fireworks, which took place on tho island in the center of the lake.
 Pleasant features of the day had been kept secret. Upon entering the park each employe and every member of his family were presented with free admis- sion tickets to the park. and also tickets entitling them to free merry -go-round rides and other amusements.
 Souvenirs consisting of Firestone hard enameed coat buttons and pins were given to all employees. Coffee and lemon ade were served free between the hours of Il a. m. and 1 p. m. and 4:30 and 6 p. m. Music for the day was furnished by the Firestone band, composed en- tirely of Firestone employees.

which she was willing to pay heavily. '
 Tt is not true, however, that these lat ter are making greater profits than the would have made had they stuck to thei last. I have in mind several concern that have come within my own notice and one. in particular, whose bushes was making automobile parts That cor cern took on a large contract for wa munitions, specifically, fuses. The prics seemed big and looked as if it woul pay, and let the regular business go fo. the time being. But today the head os that concern tells me they would hav made twice the money had they continue to supply their regular customers witt their standard product.
 Now, in this case, the cessation of tn strife on the other side will not mean X slump, but simply a return to norma conditions and normal profits.
 'The very fact that everybody in ever walk of life feels keenly the shortag of certain articles of every day use 1 the best indication that the factories an, mills which formerly made those article have now been diverted to the making o1 war munitions and other supplies for Flu ropean countries.
 'The fact that there is such a short age shows that there is waiting plent of demand for the staple articles iron those plants.
 Summing it up in a word, I'd expree it this way: We have enjoyed a fvS years demand in one years time. Ina has resulted in empty shelves. And empty shelves Is the best possible pre- face to prosperity. Those shelves mus be filled again. That demand must bd supplied.
 "Why we have actually been enjoyint a period of want in this country-asl milady if she hasn't had to accept quail ties of material and colors that in norma times she would not have tolerated.
 "The close of the war will mean thA her needs are going to be supplied. and that means a distribution of prosperity.
