Three were presented by Mr.. and

The others were donated by Albert

Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Graham, New

The ambulances have been attached
to the New York General Hospital,

yeying sick soldiers from Yaphank
and other training camps within the
metropolitan district to the base hos
pital. Later these ambulances will
be used IN transferring sick and
wounded soldiers from transports to
hospitals.
Their equipment is complete. in ac-

BY GEORGGE A. KIssEL,

President Kissel Motor Car Company.
In order to know the methods and
Equipment necessary to increase effl-
Ciency and economy In personal and
business activities, SO as to do its bit
toward winning the war, the public
naturally looks to the, advertising sec
tons Of the newspapers and maga-
zines.
The average man and woman to-
day realize that 1t II a patriotic ne
cessity to conduct his or her AFFAIRS In
highly efficient manner. II the
manufacturers of time and labor
saving appliances bring out in their
advertising the eciefincy and econ
omy features Of their products, they
will not only maintain business as
usual, but will be doing the public a
favor as we'll.
Recognizes Advertising.
This Is a fact we. in the automobile
industry. are recognizing. not only in
advertising and publicity activities, but
through letters and statesmen. Auto
mobile and motor truck dealers in
closing,~s find It pays to show
prospects how the automobile enables
owners to practically double their ca
pacity by economizing time and how
the motor truck increases haulage
delivery area without a correspond
ing upkeep; increase of curtailing ex-
penses without curtailing operations.
+ There Is no doubt about II. the pub
lie Is reading the newspapers more
than ever. The publishers brilliant
patriotic work, the elimination OF the
fake advertiser and their activities in
stopping the publication of enemy
messages in the guise of advertise
ments. are only a few of the watch
dog services that have given the pub
lie new conception Of what a news-
paper means to its community.
Newspaper Has Confidence.
And there Is no class of business
men who are more glad to see the
newspapers secure the confidence OF
their readers than advertisers, be-
cause it Is the extent Of confidence
which readers have in a publication
that makes or breaks Its circulation.
Inasmuch as 1t Is circulation which
newspapers sell to advertisers. 1t can
be seen that the future. Of both the
newspaper and the advertiser wilt
be that much brighter, because the
better the quality Of circulation, the
easier II Is to sell from the news
papers standpoint. and the more the
results will accrue to the advertiser.
When Uncle Sam entered the world
war. advertising was practically the
first Of the Business Worlds long
range weapons to be- brought into
play to maintain business M usual
This recognition and use of the
power of advertising, has helped the
business world, maintain its equili-
brium at a time when equilibrium
is a necessity.
Truck Is Necessity.
A noteworthy example of the re-
suits the. right kind Of advertising
will secure is that of the country
wide adoption of the automobile and
motor truck. Just as in the war for
increased business which the coun-
try's industries have been waging,
SO the world war for Permanent De-
mocracy has emphasized the utility
