Drives Duplex From
Michigan Through Snow

The Harrisburg Auto Company
like lots of other distributors, have
had to adopt unusual methods of
getting cars in from Michigan to fill
their orders.
They started a young and en-
thusiastic truck man by the name of
Joe Heckart, one of their employees,
from the Duplex truck factory at
Lansing, Michigan, on the evening
of Saturday, December %, driving a
large 3 II ton Duplex truck chassis,
on the top of which was loaded a
Model + REQ q ton truck.
1t probably was stunt that no
one in their right mind would have
attempted on account of the road
and weather conditions that existed
for the last couple weeks, but the
necessity of having these trucks to
fill orders made it compulsory to
take the chance.
This young man had an unusually
fine trip, and his telegraphing and
telephoning the news all along the
line kept the local concern free from
worry.
He reached Altoona, the destina-
JlOn Oh lne heO truck on wednesday
the 26th, and unloaded his truck
there and proceeded to Tyrone,
where he delivered the big four
wheel drive Duplex on the morning
of the eth.
The road and weather conditions
were simply fierce, but his report
was that he did not encounter any
snow drifts or roads that the Duplex
could not plow through without any
hesitation at all.
All along the line he was COM
PEELED to break the road after the
heavy SHOWS. and he said that there
was a string of other autom obiles
following him all the time, travelling
in his tracks.
Word of this foolhardy trip had
preceded him, and lots of automobile
owners who wanted to come east
were waiting until he came through
first and opened a path.
Joe is so enthusiastic over his
successful trip that he is starting
west again for another load of
trucks

MERCHANTS TO CUT

upon in Wilkes Barre was shown to
several merchants of Harrisburg to-

10 cents for each delivery. stop and

appeal to, Harrisburg merchants, or
seem to them logical.

that is satisfactory to merchant and

will prevent that. The customer will

would any nation be without it?
Saving of man power and fuel is the
object of this. and not tacking on
any extra charge.
Harrisburg should show it's pa
triotism by giving. this campaign u
that the Government will come down
hard in the near future.
The first move toward cutting down
the delivery service here is evidenced
in the most of the firms limiting the
service to two trips a day. No one
will call twice at the same house.
They are also discouraging persons
ordering trifling purchases such as
thread and asking that they be de-
livered. But this is only a begin
ming.
Merchants of every type are alive
to the situation and a big delega-
tion will go from this town to the
delivery conference, at which a uni
versal plan for reduction in this ex-
pense and conserving man power to
the Government will be adopted.
Consumer Benefits
Just how far the cash and carry
plan can be carried merchants were
unable to say to-day. 1t was pointed
out however, that savings on de.
livery charges mean a reduction in
overhead charges which ultimately
result in a benefit to the consumer.
One merchant pointed out that all
big stores figure in all items of cost
and investments and then endeavor
to charge certain percentage of
profit to make up this sum. ANY
thing. he said, that reduces the over
head costs means something to the
consumer.

Snead, distributor for the fuel ad-

had been shipped here to supply nor

Coal was unavailable. he contend
ed, because persons who could afford
it overbought, local dealers did not
cooperate with the fuel administra-

inadequate.
THE railroads are not entirely
responsible for congestion due to
