The Quad demonstra ton held by
Macarthur Brothers the past few days
has brought forth some surprising feats
and is causing quite il little comment
both among truck users and along auto
row. Charley Pope. of McArthu Broth
ers, has charge of the demonstration
and Roy Welcome at the wheel.
The place where the demonstration
is held is an excavation for building
ond presents many problems for the
truck to overcome, such as going up
and down entertainments, going into
holes with sheer drop of two feet,
pulling through sand hub deep and to
make matters worse and just TO give
the Jeffrey Quad" a little something
to do Pope has had the ground ploWed
up and then added a few hurdles made
OF railroad ties, placed every few feet,
over which the Quad goes as though
there was nothing in the way.
Perhaps the most spectacular stunt,
or at least the one that gets applause
each afternoon from the audience. is
when the Quad backs up on the en-
bankment around the tree in the center
OF the lot. In eXcaVating, the Workmen
took dirt from around this tree leaving
il standing on a bench with 4 sheer
four foot drop. The Quad backs up
this wall with no trouble at all, and its
probable that everyone would say il
could not be done, until he had seen it.
The secret of the Quad's' pulling
power and its ability to so where other
trucks would not dare attempt" says
Mr.. Pope. is the fact that the Quad s
drives and steers on all four wheels and
it will move as long as any wheel gets
traction. While the things we do at the
demonstra ton seem remarkable. yet
there are 'Quad's' in use in Arizona in
mining haulage, that do things just as
hard every working day. We are MAX
/ ing these tests with 1000 pounds of ce-
rAent on the truck and get a few men
to climb on when it is subjected to an
extra hard pun, for the 'Qiad' does bet
ter when loaded.
Macarthur BROTHERS have a great
many Quad trucks in operation in diff

1.-THE United States government has pur-
chased a number for army use after
giving the quad vigorous tests, which
have been recorded in moving pictures
and called With The American Army.
This film will be seen at local theatel

shows to what extent Uncle Sam has tc

money for motor trucks.

GREAT INCREASE IN
SALES NOTICED BY
AUTO THEFT AGENCY

Since the Auto Theft Signal Sales
company has acquainted the autoists
of Phoenix and vicinity with the merits
of the Auto Theft Signal system
through the columns of the Arizona
Republican, the increase in sales has
been gratifyingly noticeable says Rep
resentative Flanagan.
The company, which has been in ex-
istence less than a year, owing to the
unusual merits of the system and the
aggressiveness of the sales force COM
posed of all live wires, has made rapid
strides The sales heretofore have been
largely confined to California. radiat-
ing from the home office of the com
pany at Los Angeles. In branching out
into neighboring territory the demand
for the Auto Theft signals is so very
apparent, the company has formulated
plans for greater manufacturing facili-
ties. Dealers are being secured and
their enthusiasm over the effective
system for Kidding communities of car
thieves is unbounded
The efficiency of our protective
system says Mr.. Flanagan. the local
Auto Theft Signal Sales company
representative, has long been estab-
hshed beyond a question. The device
accompanied with the positive reward
offer made by the manufacturers. has
received thorough backing by the city
and county police officials in this
field. Crooks realize they haven't the
