ANOTHER PACKARD Truck
FOR SHARPLESS COMPANY

Cass sharpless, of the P. E. Sharp
less Company, mas just placed an
order with the Wilmington branch
of Packard Motor Car Com
pany, Of Philadelphia, for a four-ton
worm-driven truck, which is the sixth
Packard truck purchased by that
company for use at its plants at Con-
oordville, and Toughkenamon, Penn
sylvania.
In speaking OF having motorized
his business. Mr.. Sharpless stated 10
a representative Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL. that in all probability not
since Ellis Parker Butler was made
famous by Pigs is Pigs" had a more
peculiar condition arisen than his
company encountered
The Sharpless Company. as is well
known in this vicinity. have a large
business in milk and cream and dairy
products Some years ago they found
that owing to what seemed to them
an arbitrary ruling, their evaporatei
milk quite a feature Of their bust
ness. could only be shipped as cream.
at what they seemed to think was an
exhorbitant rate. They decided
therefore, that if Milk is Cream q"
they would find a more Improved and
cheaper method Of shipping.
Starting with one Packard chain
driven truck, which is still in service.
having travelled more than 80 coo
miles they will upon the delivery Of
their recent purchase, have 4 fleet Of
six Packard trucks. all the rest Of
which are the improved worm-driven
models, the last previous one having
already gone over $4,000 miles, with
out any expense in up-keep. other
than for tires. gasoline, oil etc.
He states that this last truck in
particular. has given service that he
does not believe could be surpassed
It has averaged more than 65 miles
per day, every day winter and sum
mer running between ConccrdWlle
and Philadelphia, carrying a load
each way. Of from to 1-2 tons.
and that this record has been made
absolutely without repair expense
At the same time he is charging
off for depreciation. operating ex-
penses. etc. S12 per day, so that each
truck is charged off in its entirety in
about four years Mr.. Sharpless gave
some interesting figures as 10 the
saving over the old method of ship
ment. which according to his esti-
mates, is an average of S25 per day.
per truck. This means, ne says. a
real saving IN the actual running ex-
penses of these two plants OF this
amount, and takes no account of the
additional labor that would be neccs-
sary were his shipments made by
common carriers, with several hand
lings at the factory and ct the de-
livery point; nor does It take into
account the losses he would undergo
for late arrivals of milk and cream,
which Of course, are perishable; nor
does it, he says, take into account
the value of quicker deliveries as is
evidenced in Wilmington, where his
milk and cream is delivered before
nine o'clock a. m. or before the heat
of the day while if shipped by the old
method it would be well on towards
two o'clock in the afternoon, and
much more apt to spoil.

AS F0OTLIGHTs SWAY
GOSSIP OF BROADWAY

That gracious goddess. the Girl
from Georgia, took me to task at
dinner last evening for having de-
clared The Intruder" to be the
best acted play in New York.
There was not much to be said in
rebuttal.
The Intruder is certainly beau
tifully played" she argued, but
are The Boomerang and Treas
ure Island so soon forgot?"
Possibly long association had
dulled erception-although plead
ing extreme circumstances, the
writer of this record halting4y, and
no doubt weakly, maintained that
his comments were intended to ap-
ply only to this seasons dramatic
harvest. As If to nullify all criti-
cal. not to say domestic, authority,
the announcement had been made
that very day The Intruder"
would cease to be after the coming
Saturday night. Whatever its
merits may have been-and II GER

and thus one Of the best offerings
OF the season passes on and out
1t is either a feast or a famine
In New York's playhouses; this
year 1t is mostly famine. And
since one must speak by the card,
in the radiant presence of The
Girl from Georgia. my invariable
and cherished companion at, the
the theater, We decided to devote
two successive evenings to what :
were really the best acted plays in
New York. Thus we found our
selves again enjoying THE Boom

Treasure Island" on Saturday.
There Is no denying it. OF all
the plays now on the New York
stage these two, hold-overs from
last year, stand so far above any
thing the present season has pro-
duced that comparisons must be
avoided. If possible, our second
evening with the delightful Belasco
comedy, ten months having passed
since our first view OF it, was
even more satisfying than the first.
1t is an eloquent tribute to the
Belasco standard. 1t would seem
an extravagant statement that not
in the slightest detail has The
Boomerang" now nearing its end
at the Belasco Theater, after a
run Of fifteen months, gone or
