Four Large Sleds to Be

by New City Contractor

Fina preparations have been
made by Hagy Brothers for the col
lection of garbage in the city be-
ginning tomorrow under a five-year

At least four large sleds will be
used in the city because of the con-

In order to open the road from

ing from the pens to Sixth and
Maclay streets, a distance of about
two miles.
Yesterday several carloads of feed
and a carload of pigs were unloaded
and removed to the piggery. Until
weather conditions change the sleds
will be used entirely for the collect
ing work, after which two large
auto trucks and wagons will be put
on the streets. A force of men has
been employed and will start to
work in the morning.

Settle Questions

The demand for the investigation
of District Appeal Board No. 2, in
Philadelphia, which was made yester-
day by local Board No. 80, of PhiIa-

seemed to know whether the demand
had been received to-day. but 1t was
stated that when ii did come to hand
that il would be sent to State Draft
Headquarters, which is in charge of
draft matters, and that it would then
go to Washington. This is the first
demand of the kind to be made in the
state and bids fair to create an i'm

RONT-MARKET
HAS BIG BUSINESS
Within Four Years Becomes
One of Largest Accessory
Houses in the State

Troy b. Wildermuth. president
and manager of the Front-Market
Motor Supply Co., is responsible
for the organization consisting of
skilled department managers which
made one of the largest wholesale
and retail auto accessory concerns
in Pennsylvania.
The Fromar Company, which is a
trade name given it by the whole
sale customers of the Front-Market
Motor Supply Co., has always been
located on Market street near Front
having started April 1914 in the
vacant room at the corner of Front
and Market, which was at that time
a combination dwelling and store
room. T. is now located at 1O9
Market street and couples two en-
tire buildings, the one on Market
street, having a floor space of 49,
900 square feet and the one at 107
River avenue, which forms an IT,
with the Market street store, gives
them 5000 additional feet.
Success has been built up and
maintained on basis of sound
judgment in picking the right kind
of standard accessories and of fair
dealings at all times with the GUS
toners.
The wholesale department of this
concern predominates and the Won
derful shipping facilities of Harris
burg has helped supply the rapid
service this branch of the business
requires. Its faculty of being able
to take care of its orders within
twelve to tweLt~' four hours has
brought it a reputation among the
representative manufacturers which
is invaluable in securing new parts.
The Front Market Supply Co. is
now a member of the National AS
sociation- of Automobile Accessory
Jobbers, which is a wholesale dis
tributors organization for the pur-
pose oil protecting their trade against
inferior goods and sharp practices.
Mr.. Wndermuth has associated
with him at the present time the
following men who are specialists
in their line: Mr.. Edgar Kent,
genera automobile equipment; Mr..
Ray f Wildermuth wholesale dis
tributior: Mr.. Arthur E. Myers,
Electrical equipment; Mr.. Howard

Donald Mccormick, Federal Food

feet that the administration does not
disapprove of advertising in news

courages advertising which tends to

deemed to be against public policy.
The information from Washington

Buick Sedan Type Proves

convertible type, a cozy, well-ap-

Flour Sacks AreShort
in Weight, Says Reel

Many retail merchants in selling
flour, cornmeal and buckwheat flour
in small sacks are unintentionally
giving short weight to customers,
according to Harry ID. Reel, city in
spector of weights and measures.
Mr.. Reel said to-day in many in
stances he had weighed sacks which
had been marked containing a GER
tain amount of flour or meal and
had found that the weight was short
from 2 to 8 ounces. While the trouble
is probably due to the miller who
makes the flour or meal, according
to Mr.. Reel, at the same time re.
tailers are the ones who are liable
in case any prosecutions follow. He
warned all dealers to remark under
weight sacks of flour or meal and to
notify the firm from whom the sup
ply was purchased.

DEMAND WILL
EXCEED SUPPLY
Hudson Automobile Dealer
Says Shipping Facilities Will
Be His Chief Worry

NO one questions the demand
that we shall have for motors cars
this spring says. L. II. Hagerling,
Hudson distributor.
The very curtailment of railroad
facilities will make the need for
motor cars all the greater. Now
that there have been official assur-
ances that there is a sufficiency of
gasoline there is no hesitancy in the
market on that score. The problem,
more severe than it has ever been
felt, will be in obtaining cars to de-
liver. The sales will not be among
the dealers worries this year.
Thousands of freight cars are
bottled up or otherwise held in
freight yards waiting to be unloaded.
But where to unload them is the
problem. Heavy SHOWS have delay
cd the operation of the railroads.
Most of the heavy shipments are
made from the West to the Eastern
seaboard. The cars which go east
ladened with foodstuffs and muni-
tions are loaded with merchandise
from the eastern factories and sent
west-when the goods are going to
the point where the freight car is
needed to carry another important
shipment back to ocean shipping
ports.
such important essentials as
sugar have been kept back from
delivery to eastern points. Great
sections of the country has for weeks
been threatened by a coal shortage
that has resulted in shutting down
factories. the dimming of electric
signs and in much suffering in many
places. In Detroit it has not been
an uncommon sight to see coal treas
ured in bushel bags being transport
ed to homes in limousines.
The freight situation has grown
so acute that now even express cars
are not obtainable for automobile
shipments. The express companies
are permitted to furnish their cars
only for less than carload sizes.
"It is easy to see then just what
demand there will be for cars.
Early buyers will be the wise ones

Rye Flour Not Classified

Rye -four is not considered in
Pennsylvania as a substitute for
wheat under the recent call from
President Wilson for the conserva-
ton of white -four State Food Ad-
ministrator Heinz to-day telegraphed
H. H. Mentzer, administrator of
Cumberland county. This because of
the great demand for rye abroad.
Rye -four however, may be used as
a substitute pending the arrival of
other substitutes into the states
markets
Administrator Heinz now is calling
upon local administrators to prevent
boarding of wheat by enforcing
rules restricting the amount of flour
that may be purchased.
