MAXWELL EXHIBIT

When the annual Automobile Show
opened at Grand Central Palace, New
York City, on Saturday, January G.
it was from the tonneau of a Max
well touring car that the angural fes-
tivities were conducted. The big show
was laughed from the Maxwell ex-
hibit, at once proving that Maxwell
was the center of attraction, no mat
ter what the setting.
II was an inspiring scene. Thou
sands of visitors were packed about
the Maxwell booth when Francis HUI
go, secretary Of the State Of New
York, arose to formally inaugurate
the show. The press of people was
so great that only those in the very
first row could see him and in re-
sponse to the entreaties of those at
the back he consented to mount
pedestal to deliver his address.
Turning around, he asked permis-
sion to use Maxwell ear from which
to make his speech. Accordingly,
touring car was placed in position in
front Of the exhibit and once more
the Maxwell name became large fac
tor in an epochal event.
So from the beginning, Maxwell
headquarters were the center of al
traction at the show and it has con-
tinued so right to the end of the week.
None but stock models were shown
at the exhibit in Grand Central Pal
ace. A cut-out chassis ard Maxwell
parts board were two interesting fea-
lures of the display. The exhibit was
under the able direction of L. w. Van
dersoll.
The outstanding feature of the show
from the Maxwell standpoint was the
reception accorded the
new one-ton truck. The chassis was
set up in the big assembly room Of
the Biltmore hotel, where a constant
stream of visitors viewed it from the
we'll touring car that the annual fes-
was over.
The open type body was on view
at the branch store, 1908 Broadway.
All visitors, whether automobile
dealers, engineers or interested men,
bers of the laity, were unanimous in
the verdict that the new truck is
just the type of vehicle that has been

M0RELAND TRUCKS
INCREASE RAHCCl'
LANDS VALUES

"The mystery of the truck business
is disappearing and the big profits
being derived from thier use is being
revealed to nearly every business man
and farmer in Imperial Valley" said
John D. Reavis, Valley Distributor Of
Moreland distillate Trucks.
Like every other innovation Of re-
cent years the truck has had to dawn
on business people as an inevitable
successor of the horse drawn vehicle.
All of us are more or less victims
of custom and conservatism and it is
just as hard for some men to realize
that trucks have displaced the horse
as it was for the printers a few year
ago to realize that linotype machines
had taken the place Of hand set type.
"Trucks save time and time is
money and money is the reward Of
good business judgment. Take for
instance the advantage in dollars and
cents truck offers to a rancher, liv-
ing 10 to 20 miles from town. This
type of a rancher has paid $50 to SIS
an acre for his land and the same kind
cf land that sells for S125 to $3.50 en-
acre close in to the railroad. The only
reason for this difference in price Is
the cost of hauling, for it is a fixed
law in appraising lands, that the dif-
ference in the cost of hauling, repre-
sents the interest on the difference il
the value of the land.
''The man far out from town with
the truck equalizes the distance by cut
ting down the time and cost of hauling
and thus enabled to operate his ranch
as profitable as the owner of close
in land, with about half the invest
ment of the other fellow"

AUTO THEFT.SIGHAL.
IN GREAT DEMAND

The Auto Theft-Signal Sales Com
pany Of 10th and Hill streets, Los An
geles, report an increasing demand
for their device.
The Auto Theft Signal has now
been on the market for over months,
during which time many hundreds
have been sold In all this time not
a single car equipped with an Auto
Theft-Signal System has been stolen.
Considering that over 500 cars have
been stolen in and around Los An
geles during these six months, it is
evident that the Theft Signal does its
work.
Commenting on this feature, Mr..
Bradley of the Auto Theft Signal Sales
Company, said:
"a substantial appearing business
man recently came into our place and
said tell me the strongest argument
for the use of a Theft Signal We
replied: We'll, suppose there are two
similar cars standing near each other
one equipped with a Theft Signal an
the other not, which would a thief
take?' 'Nuff said replied the busy
me q signal
"Another point chat should be con-
aidered by automobile owners" said
Mr.. Bradley, 'is the need Of co-opera-
ton with the police. Both the Sher-
ifs office and the police department
are making every effort to stop these
Imperial Valley press., 1917-02-10

thefts, but the public does not realize
the disadvantage under which they
work. Unless Theft-Signal is on a
car there is nothing to indicate wheth-
er the driver is the rightful owner or
not-and, when the signal is in place
the thieves leave the car alone. This
is one of the strongest arguments for
our System. 1t PREVENTS Thefts.
"It should be borne in mind that
the Signal itself is but part of our
System. The 500 Reward feature
causes the general public to watch out
for people tampering with Signals and
to move cars efuipped with
them."

CIRCUS MOTORIZED

What promises to revolutionize cir
Gus methods will be the utilization of
the motor truck and automobile. The
United States Million Dollar Circus
corporation has recently been formed
to exploit complete new circus enter
tainment. 1t will start on its initial
tour this spring and summer, from
New York City, utilizing fleet of 1870
powerful motor trucks, besides a large
rumber of pleasure cars, using the
natural highways for the tour, and
eliminating entirely the use of rail-
roads.

It is the common experience of mo-

marked tendency to use more gaso-

WONDERFUL
RUBBER PROTECTOR

| Two inner tubes--one of them with
graphite vulcanized into it's surface,
in the regular way, and the other
without graphite coating, were recent
| ly subjected to a svere test at the
Savage Tire plant at San Diego, Cal.
Both tubes were exposed, side by side,
under exactly the same conditions, to
the sun and weather, for period of
thirty days. At the end Of the test
the tube with the graphite coating
showed very little signs of deteriora-
tion the other was practically de-
stroyed. The graphite-coated tube
showed few checks, and was just as
elastic as it ever was; the ungraphited
one had los all Of it's life and elas-
t.icity. It would not hold air at all,
and was filled with cracks; in fact,
it was just in the condition that any
piece of rubber, exposed for thirty
days, might be expected to be in.
This test is striking proof Of the
claims that are made for Savage
Grafinite tubes. The Savage tube is
covered with graphite, which is vul-
canized into it's surface. 1t is, there
fore, practically light and weather.
proof, and because of the protection
of the graphite, will deteriorate less
from these causes than any other in
ner tube manufactured.
The graphite coating on the Saw
age tube also prevents sticking and
friction and eliminates the necessity
for soapstone or any other tire pow
Ger. The Savage people claim that
their process is the biggest advance
in tube making in years. The excel
lent service that the Savage Grafinite
tubes are giving to motorists seems
to bear out their claims.

1T PLEASED WILSON
President Elated Over the New Free
dom of the Russians.

Washington, March 31.-The per-
sonal elation of President Wilson at
the overthrow of despotism in Rus
STA was expressed in the following
message to Julius Rosenwald of Chi
cago, member of the Council of
National Defense:
Your contribution of 100000 to
the S10,000,000 fund for the relief of
Jewish war sufferers serves Demo-
cracy as we'll as humanity. The Rus
sian revolution has opened the door
of freedom to an oppressed condition
but unless they are given life and
strength and courage, the opportun-
ity of centuries will avail them little.
1t is to America that these starving
millions look for aid and out of our
prosperity, fruit of free institutions,
should spring a vast and enabling
generosity. Your gift lays an obliga-
ton even while it furnishes inspira-
ton.
