AUTO PART
BY PARCEL POST
Factories Have Hard Job
to Get Sufficient Parts to
Keep Operating.

Dealers in rare fineries. buying
their wares from all quarters Of the
world. many times bring their pur-
chases back with them in trunks and
cases. This method seems entirely ap-
propriate TO the merchandising Of
expensive and often fragile laces,
silks, etc. but it certainly is unusual
to give such distinction to metal au-
tomobile parts.
However. such is the case at one
automobile factory at least The
Franklin Automobile company. manu-
facturers of the Franklin air-cooled
car, almost every day receives trunks
and SUIT cases filled with parts which
were made in places many miles from
the Franklin factory at Syracuse, n
Y. Transportation difficulties due to
the war have been felt most keenlv
device is used in order to get raw ma
terials and parts with a regularity
that viii maintain steady production
of finished cars
Take. for example, the manner IN
which a supply OF cam shafts is main
tanned in the Franklin factory. These
shafts are made in MuskegOn. Mich,
two nights and days journey from
Syracuse. Yet, for more than month
EXPRESS shipments. twice weekly. OF
special messengers who keep in close
touch with the packages all the way
Because of the fact that express COM
panies have embargOes at times be-
tween certain points. these messen-
gers have TO transfer the shipments
from one express to another wherever
necessary.
During the two nights and day
required for the parts to reach SYRIA
cuse. y. y, this constant attention
gives the messengers practically no
sleep. If these shipments were not
fostered in such manner. a day at
least would be lost at each transfer
point. as well as ut the terminals. and
interrupted production would likely
be the result
SHIPMENTS by special delivery par
eel post are also much used and large
quantities Of heavy materials are re-
ceived I'm that way. One manufactur-
er Of parts was at first much sur
prised TO receive from the Franklin
company an order for $500 pounds OF
more of malleable iron castings by
parcel nost special delivery. and tele-
graDhed quite promptly to find out
whether some mistake had not been
made. BY this time. however. IL has
become rather a common occurrence;
in fact. one spark plug manufacturer
now sends 1000 spark plugs every
week in parcel post quantities.
