HolU to Buy Motor Trucks Is Theme of We'll Aimed
 Aduice by Local Dealer
Adaptabilty to Buyers Requirements Firsts Considera tion While Many Minor Points Must Be Carefully In- vestigated-"Any Truck Will Carry Goods-Get
 That Which Will Keep Carrying Them

~If was in the market to purchase a motor truck, there would be several facts would first investigate thoroughly be- fore purchasing" says Paw" Perkins of the Perkins Motor Car company
 T could not afford to handicap my transportation department with trucks not adaptable to it's needs Neither could l afford to purchase trucks that were backed tip by doubtful manufactursng facilities or of unknown reputation My transportation problems could not be solved by trucks that had not demon- strated their mechanical superiority, as that would invite uncertain deliveries or delayed shipments.
 PROPER SIZE NECESSITY
 ~As a careful buyer would look first of all to the ability of the truck to ade- quately meet my requirements. I know that truck owners who are not behind on deliver-ies-who do not risk delayed shipments or failure to meet freight and express scaedules-apply the same rigid tests in purchasing their transportation equipment that they apply to their pro duction equipment.
 Experience has proven that a truck.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-14

in order. to be operated economically. must fit the purpose for which it is to be used. Any truck will carry goods. The truck that will carry them most efficiently and economically is the one which best fits the purchasers require ments
 'Is the truck of the right size to ac- commodate the style of body l need? Is it built heavy and strong enough to stand up under my loads? Will it prove adapt able to the emergencies that occasion ally pop up, such as slight overloads, without getting topheavy? Will it be easy to load and unload?
 These and other points I would care fully investigate and make doubly sure of before going any further, because a
 misfit truck means not only high up- keep but represents an investment that will prove a liability instead of an as set.
 MANUFACTURERS REPUTATION
 "Once I was satisfied that | had found the right size and style of truck, I would then investigate the reputation of the makers.
 .'Is it manufactured or an assem- bled truck? Who are the manufactur-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-14

CTS? What is their record? Are they financially strong and sound? How long have they been going? What is their reputation as engineers and designers?
 ''Dependablity is the big basic factor to be taken into account in the purchase of truck, and the product selected must be backed by manufacturing experience. integrity and facilities.
 q know that the purchase of truck is but the beginning of the transaction, for the thing of permanent and para mount moment is to keep that truck running without interruption. That is why the manufacturers should have unlimited manufacturing facilities. Their reputation andsprestige must be second to none. They should know con- ditions under which trucks are used and build accordingly.
 Then again the prompt supply ot duplicate parts in case of need, 6or- ough factory responsibility, and the ability and disposition to cooperate. are assured only where the maker is thoroughly responsible and permanent.
 MAKE SURE OF THE MOTOR
 "The primary object of my investing in trucks being to serve more custom CTS or deliver and haul more goods in a shorter space of time, would next investigate the source of power.
 .Is the power plant equal to the power demands I would make on it! This would mean that the motor would have to be built for use on trucks and one that had been proven in years of service by companies hauling goods of approximately the same weight and description as mine.
 q would make sure of it's flexibility in making theNShort stops and stars cl traffic zones. as well as giving a steady, uninterrupted flow of power or the long stretches in suburbs and coun try. I would test it on stiff grade and different types of roads. I would

 talk with other owners and get heir experience of gasoline and oil con- sumption. As the motor is the heart of the truckr would thoroughly sat isfy myself in every way that may truck would live a long life and not suffer from chronic heart failure.'
 NEXT THREE ESSENTIALS
 ''My investigation would next be concentrated on the next three truck essentials-axles. brakes and springs. Are the axles of the proven type as to principle of construction? Are they made of the highest quality material to stand the brunt of my loads with out giving out? Are they easy to take apart when in need of overhauling?
 Do the brakes possess superstrength with which to hold the load on all grades? Are they quick to act and stay set when in action? Have they the brdgebulders factor of safety to protect my property and the lives of my drivers?
 'The springs must be heavy, but flexible, sturdy and pliant to keep the load away from the frame. This would mean that the steels and other metal components should be selected by skilled metallurgists. Each grade of metal sohuld have been selected for the. particular requirements for which they are to be used, chemically ana lyzed for flaws, heat-treated to give strength milled and machined for &C., curacy. I know that chrome vandium | and nickel steels are the most de- 1 pendable and if possible should be lib- orally used in all vita parts. | q would then investigate the width and thickness of the frame to see whether it was of liberal dimensions and constructed to withstand the se- l were stress and strain of continuous | loads. This is the foundation of the truck and the real support of the load.
 Then I would look for such de-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-14

tails of refinement as would insure constant service. Among these might be mentioned oiling devices, which should be easily attended to, motor, transmission and ax1es that are ac- cessible, so that my driver will take pleasure and pride in keeping it in best of order.
 "By conducting such investigation before purchasing, I would be taking the chance out of truck buying-the uncertainty out of truck performance the risk out of my truck investment. It would be in reality process of elimination and would insure my get ting a truck that would prove an ef- ficient and economic asset to my bus mess"

GREAT AFTER WAR USE 0F MOTOR TRUCK |bY GOVT. PREDICTED
Parcel Post Routes May Be Established and Railroads May Be Assisted
 By Them

Publications that are urging govern ment ownership of railroads are pointing to use to which motor trucks purchased
 in large numbers for war purposes can be used when the war is ended One of these papers published in Washington, D. C., insists that freight should be de- livered in the same manner that mail is delivered, and that motor trucks should be used by the government for this purpose. Inasmuch as government ownership of the railroads, in a. practi- cal sense, is with us now, Martin l..
 Pulcher general manager of the Federal Motor Truck company, is of the opinion

that proper supervision of motor trucks as auxiliaries of the railroads in. assist ing the reconstruction of industry after the war will come as a matter of course.
 Everybody knows that serious diff culties encountered last year in con- nection with the railroad tie-ups were caused by congestion at the terminals" said MT. Pulcher. And it is to be feared that the serious traffic tie-ups will again be encountered next winter, if some positive steps are not taken to re- lieve this congestion at the terminals One of the papers points out that de- livery of freight from the depots should be handled just as delivery of mail and parcel post is handed-promptly and ef- iciently. There is no doubt as to the reasonableness of this view.
 THE REMEDY
 ''The remedy is something that cannot wait until after the war is over, however and motor trucks, which are the logical means of delivery from terminals, should be put into use at the earliest possible moment and in generous numbers. The aid thus given the railroads should per init them to go through next winter without anything like as serious a con gestion problem as that which caused disaster the latter part of last winter"
 It is well understood, according to MT. Pulcher, that the postoffice department is now endeavoring to work out a sys- tenn whereby motor trucks may be used for delivering parcel post along the rural route, and in manner that will insure the handling of much heavier. and much more bulky packages than are now per- mitted for shipment via parcel post
 "So there need be no fear that the government will have too many trucks on it's hands,, continued MT. Pulcher. "All of the trucks which will be taken attained and more, too, can well be used by the government in speeding up."

 SAFETY EARNINGS RESALE VALUE Safety depends on length of service and whether the maker continues in business and stands behind his trucks.
 Earnings depend on whether the truck is suited to the work required it's speed and carrying capac ty and its uninterrupted service
 Resale value depends on the reputation of the truck which determines the price it will bring second hand.

The IdlchOur

Among the many good shows at the
ldlehour this week. one of particular
interest is the first of series Of ten
two-rccl pictures on the life of Abra-
ham Lincoln called "Thc Son Of De-
mocracy"
Abe Lincoln would have been your
friend, mighty glad to come to your
house for Sunday dinner, and all the
afternoon he would have entertained
the folks-had them laughing and
crying in turns-with stories Of his
dramatic life
You can't invite Lincoln to dinner
now But you can do r.a.tr. yJu can
see enacted on the scree4 lne new
photoplay, "Thc Son Demoy acy,'
these stories that he toic can
see the boy Abe in his log home, his
strange, sometimes humorous, often
pathetic adventures. You can see
him as President, interpreted by the
loving image Of Abraham Lincoln,
Benjamin Chaplin, who has been fam
Gus for years on the chautauqua plat
forms and in vaudeville for his Lin
coin interpretations.
They're all frst-ratc stories, mot
ion pictures that you'd enjoy hugely
had you never heard Of Lincoln
They're not dry history, they're not
drcary lectures, they are big human
dramas Lincoln's life was crowded
with action, he was continually in
the midst of conflict.
In THE Son Of Democracy" each
feature is complete drama. There
are stirring fights, amusing compli-
cations and the funniest little picka-
ninny you ever saw steals white
hen; and Abe, the boy, is the attorney
for the defense before most pecul-
lar jury.
The first Of the series will be shown
Thursday and is entitled "My Moth
err There will be complete show
after school so as to accommodate the
children who cannot go out at night.
Every American should see this
series. Every school teacher wants
her entire class to see it. Every
mother wants to take her children TO
see it, Uncle Sam would say, at is
the picture for the hundred million
children Of democracy"
