LAR SHORTAGE
 IN EVENT WAR
 SHOULD COME

In case the United States declares war with Germany there will be a shortage of Packard trucks and pleas ure cars, according to the statement of Warren McArthur, who has just re- turned to Phoenix from the Packard factory.
 Tn view of the fact that the Pack ard Motor Car company has offered the government the entire output of its truck department and is prepared to properly fill orders according to gov ernment specifications, it will mean that We can get no more trucks if war is declared" said MT. McArthur on his return.
 There also will be great demand for aeroplane motors and the new Packard twin six aeroplane engine that the Packard factory has perfected means that large part of the facilities utilized for that class Of work.
 Not only will there be a demand for cars for mobilization purposes. but for transport esrvice as well, as the motor truck has proven its worth as a means of transportatins troops. mu- niuOns and supplies for long hauls where speed is essential.
 Saw Coal Famine
 While Mir. McArthur was in Detroit there was coal famine that was so serious that the Edison Lighting com pany of that city advertised that 1t had enough coal for only two days more and that unless relief was ob- tained at once it would be unable to furnish electric current. It advised the utmost conservation of electricity
 A shipment of coal en route through Detroit was delayed there and the mayor asked authority to take it over for distribution. There has been no relief from the shortage Of freight cars for handling automobiles and in case of war there will be an embargo that will cripple the shipping facilities of every automobile factory
 While there are an appreciable num- Der of Packard touring cars in stock and on the road for the Earle C. An thony CO., Inc. overnight developments may change the situation so that every Packard car in stock could command a premium.
 Starting the Contest
 Mir. Anthony also brought some de- tails of the opening of the big na- tional sale contest Connecting up d telegraph line that linked nine of tn principle cities of the United States was the task set by the Packard Motor Car company for the Postal Telegraph company.
 Postal officials at first thought it lmprdcticable but insistence on the Packard officials brought the trial
 The line ran through New York. Bos- ton, Philedalphia Pittsburg, Cleveland Detroit, Chicago. St Louis and Los An seles and was used as means of send ing the signal Co" that started the largest sales contest ever staged by the Packard sales organization. It IS called the Lincoln Hnghway Sweepstakes.
 The ability Of the Earle C. Anthony. Inc, was recognized by putting it in di- Nsion A in competition with eight other large sales organizations 1t is the only city west of St. Louis in the ''big league"
