We will eventually excel in that as
we do in many other things. There

But equal Justice and fair treat

worked for, has been based on these
principles. We have worked for good

they are entitled.

Hupmohile, which is noted for its
many feats all over the world.
To demonstrate the hill-climbing

Charles De Wette. representative of
the Hupmobile agency at Picking,
drove one Of the cars up the Tartar
City wall at Peking, carrying five pas
sengers.
This is the first time an automobile
has ever been driven to the top OF
the famous Chinese wall and it re-
NAMED for an American car to be the
first to accomplish the feat. Moving
pictures were made of the perform.
ance of the Hupmobile going up the
incline. used by the troops, to the
summit of the wall, and several hun
dred spectators saw the performance.

TRUCK
TIRES USED ON
MEXICAN BORDER

The large motor truck trains run
ming across the border into Mexico
with supplies for Gen. Pershing have
withstood the hardest test that
piece of machinery has ever been
called upon to perform. These huge
motor trucks we're despatched by spe-
ciaI train from the factories IN De-
troit and were accompanied by COM
plete crew of drivers and mechanics.
Since their arrival they have solved
the problem Of getting supplies and
provisions to the troops across the
border One can imagine the road
conditions which were met by these
trucks. Roads which were very sell
dom travelled were opened Up to
heavy motor service without any
preparation. -
Harry Parker of the local Goodyear
agency just received word from j.
g. McAllister, formerly truck tire rep
resentative of the Pacific coast, who
is locking after the tire equipment
of these trucks in Mexico. Goodyear
tires are standing up in this service
wonderfully, from all reports, and on
account of their past records and the
confidence of manufacturers, they
have been used on the majority of the
machines. ....... ~

tribution of weight over the tread

is guaranteed to give 1000 miles ser.

 There is usually enough good auto ing weather in the winter so you can familiarize yourself with the new ma. chine and be ready to get the good of it when the first spring days come and the roads become settled.
