AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN
M0TORlZE TRANSPORTATION

The rapidity with which American
businessmen everywhere are motor
iZing their transportation systems is
well indicated by the tremendous
volume Of truck sales made by the
Packard Motor Car Company through
its dealers during January. 1917.
more than two millions of dollars,
$2,262, 500, to be exact, was invested
in trucks made by this company in the
first month of this year." said r. E.
Chamberlain, Packard truck sales
manager. Never before has this rec
ord been equaled or even approached
in the history Of the truck industry.
The figures quoted represent the
value Of Packard trucks for the use
of American businessmen only-no
foreign orders, samples or demonstra-
tors are included. Also every dollar
was for chassis only, most buyers hav-
ing bodies built by outside firms.
This unprecedent Endorsement or
Packards came from many lines of
business and from all sections of the
country, the major sales made in New
York, Chicago, Boston. Cleveland, De-
troit, Pittsburg and Philadelphia. Sub
stantial gains also were noted in Min
neapolis, Portland, San Francisco,
New Orleans, Cincinnati, Rochester,
st. Louis and many other cities.
Among the nationally known buy
ers were Swift & Company, Armour &
Company, Liquid Carbonic Company,
Chicago Telephone Company, Stand.
ard Oil Company, Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Company, New England Gas
& Coke Co., Edison Electrid Com
pany. Independent Oil Company. One
company alone bought 131 Packards."

AUTOS NO LONGER
ARE PLEASURE CARS

That the term pleasure car" is OBJ
solete and likely to become injurious
to the motor industry is the belief of
j. N. Gum, president of the United
States Tire Company.
In discussing this subject, Mr. Gum
pointed to the wide and erroneous use
of the words pleasure car" even
among automobile manufacturers, and
declared that motor is no longer a
vehicle that is bought or operated sole
ly in the pursuit OF pleasure Contin.
uing, he said:
In the early days of the industry
the motor car was a novelty and it's
use was confined to those seeking re.
creation or some form of pleasure
But with our economic development
the automobile has ceased to be play

almost exclusively. 1t is used as a
time-saver for business, for. shopping

The best goods you can buy are the

eases. The best treatment Is the
cheapest at the Nelson Sanitarium.
We have had many cases where they
have doctored from five to ten years
without any benefit. During that time
they have been unfit for work or bust
ness, so you might say they have lost
that many years of their life. They
have come to the Nelson Sanitarium
in very poor condition, and in two to
four weeks they have returned to their
homes feeling fine. We are especially
successful in indigestion, constipation,
liver, kidney and stomach trouble,
heart diseases, appendicitis, rheuma-
tism, Iumbago, neuralgia, nervous dis
cases.. female weakness, skin diseases,
la grippe and many other diseases. This
last week we had two cases of para
lytic stroke. This Is a very dangerous
disease, but they are both getting
along fine. DR.. Nelson is a very care
full and scientific chiropractic adjuster
of the spine, and he won't hurt you
any more than he has to. Many peo-
pie are filled with toxin and malaria,
and he will eliminate the poison from
your system, so you will feel like a
new person. - ..~
