|NS|STENT GALL FUR MEN WITH
 REAL ABILITY

Everywhere now is heard the in sistent call for men. Europe is search ing, and not cnly to fill the trenches hut to iind men fit for leadership. Men of large capacity. with ability to com mand large scale operations, are being sought out to serve as ministers of munitions, dictators of national living, masters of transpOrtation-to be gen. erals of the cVil life behind the lines of war, says Warren McArthur. who has just returned from a trip to the eastern factories
 Tn some instances these posts of su- preme importance are being filled by men born ard trained in the newer and younger countries. An American street railway man has just been made head of Eritains board of trade. Lloyd George said, in making up the same cabinet that Shaughnessy, the James J. Hill of Canada, and Hughes, the pre- Hier of Australia. W ould certaiI..y I.t,Sc been chosen did not distance and ,ne immediate pressure of events forbid
 America, too. needs men. America needs big men for the constructive Nyori. of peace The industrial growth of the United States is become so vast and so intense that capable men are at a premium. The established enterprises of the land are no longer offering op- pOrtunitieS' but are openly holding out their prizes of position and authority and good salaries, to men of depth and enthusiasm and imagination.
 The comparatively new field Of merchandising on a large scale is fGll of rewards for able men. The market ing of products in volume is more and more a problem with the manufactnr- ing Industry, as manufacturing in- creaseS production to meet an amazing domestic and foreign demand. Sales executives have unlimited opportunity
 one of the manufacturing companies that is in the market now for talent of high order is the Packard Motor Car company. Its general sales manager, C. F. Norton, says that the supply of sales talent has not kept pace with the rapid growth of the business. Not only at the factory, in Detroit, but in nearly all the large cities of the country, at the Packard branches and service sIa- tions, and among Packard dealers, there are opportunities waiting to be seized
 "To assist young men with selling ability to get started aright. the Pack ard company is holding d series of schools at the factory.
 We are making every effort to ob- tain men of creative powers and of executive capacity" said Mr Norton. "Of course, there are many who would like the positions we have to fill. But like is only part of it. Doing the job. intelligently, spiritedly with a proper valuation on originality and CO., operation, that's the main part of it. It's hard to get men of that stamp
 Somewhere out among the highways and byways of business are the men We are looking for. It is our big task to reach cut and>fnd them.
 The rapidity with which American business men everywhere are motoriz- ing their transportation systems is well indicated by the tremendous vol ume of truck sales made by the Pack ard Motor Car company through its dealers curing January 1917.
 More than two millions of dollars, s2.262, 800. to be exact, was invested in trucks made by this company in the first month of this year. asid R. F. Chamberlain, truck sales manager.
