 SOUTH AMERICAN MARKET
 There is a market in South America for I0.00O,G00 tons of coal year. said Morris Bush, president of the Shelby Iron company and an official of two or three local mining companies, "and that is the market that we should try to capture. The question of returp cargoes is a very important mattei with shipping interests. Ships carry ing coal to South America, especially the west coast would come back with cargoes of nitrate, iron ores. copper and other products of those countries to the south of us. As bunker coal and cargo coal can be delivered at Mobile by way of the Warrior river. after 1t Is fully developed. at much less cost than they can be had at any other port in the United States.

Tire CHANGING
FREE AT GARAGE
OF A. SCHAvIOR

The A. L. Schavior Co., 322 Fair
field avenue, is setting new standard
for Bridgeport and vicinity in tire
values. The hundreds of pleased
customers of the concern are not only
testimonial to the business acumen
of the members of the firm but they
demonstrate that it is meeting salts
factorilly a long felt want here.
Diamond tires, black tread with the
red sides, Silvertown cord tires and
Michelin Universal tires, are several
of the specialties which the company
handles and which are too we'll known
to need any extended description.
Their quality has long ago secured
their standing with motor car owners
and drivers.
Among the various features of the
Schavior Co. are free tire changing,
and water for storage batteries, de-
liveries within 10 miles of this city
air service and many other features
exclusive with the Schavior Com
pany.
z. H. Oliver, president and treas
urer of the company, has arranged
that complete line of accessories is
maintained at all times in the COM
pany's show rooms. All sorts of re-
pairing from the smallest to the larg-
est contract is also a part of the bust
uess.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-26

The car is built throughout in a
way to insure to the owner safety and
comfort. An example of strong build
ing is the use of bronze crank shaft
and transmission case. The Loco
mobile Co. has never been called up
on to replace one of these parts. Ease
of riding is due to the free play of
the spring, released Of all torque
taking duties by the torque arm and
radius rods, by the careful balance OF
the car and by the deep upholstery.
Owing to a ruling of the Bridgeport
Chamber of Commerce the Locomo-
bile has never before been exhibited
at the Bridgeport Automobile Show.
This year, however, special arrange
ments have been made and the peo-
pie of this city may examine the car
built here. The exhibit will be made
by the Bradford Auto Sales Co. of
New Haven.

MAXWELL TRUCK
HAS INCREASED
ITS PRODUCTION

From the time, less than year ago,
when the Maxwell Company announc-
ed the production of a truck inquiries
from all over the country with their
resultant sales have forced the COM
pany to increase its facilities for turn
ing out this most successful CONNER
cial vehicle to the second largest in
truck production.
Records in economy, consistency
or performance, in sturdiness and
engine efficiency has been made in all
sections of the United States and SO
many remarkable tests has the Max.
we'll truck undergone that the sales
increase was a certainty before the
trucks had been in service a month.
So far as is known, this Maxwell
an economical gasoline run. This
mark was made in California and
came at the end of 1872 mile trip
On the last lap of Sc miles. the gas
oline average was 20.3 miles per gal
lon-the entire distance of 1872 miles
being made with an average gas con-
sumption of over 4 miles to the gall
lon.
Test Sturdiness.
It's sturdiness has also been thor
oughly tested. In rocky Texas and in
snow-bound Minnesota, this Maxwell
truck has buffeted its way through
snow drifts in the far North and over
the terrible roads in some parts of the
Southwest. One mountain grade, so
difficult that no truck had ever at
tempted the ascent was made both
down truck holds the worlds record
for and up by the Maxwell-the first
to ever make the ascent. These runs
were made with capacity loads.
| AS for consistency, two Maxwell
distributors made a small wager on
a test designed primarily, to show just
what two trucks of the same make
would do, over the same road-dis-
| lance, in opposite directions. In the
| 35 miles, conditions were equal, and
| it was found at the finish that each
Maxwell had used exactly the same
amount of gasoline down to the
smallest fraction of pint. These
we're all stock trucks, no special ad-
| justments having been made or extra
or special parts used.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-26
has no limits.

Right now while railroads are con-
sidering embargoes on short hauls,
while tn centre nation is crying for
increased transportation facilities,
while more goods must be moved than
ever before, the motor truck has
come into its own. And the man
who handles the right truck is firmly
established in a business that is
growing by 1eapse and bounds.
The new Clydesdale distributors will
be selected with the greatest care.
Only the most able men will be chos-
en-. But to the RICH men we have a
most interesting proposition.
We offer complete line of trucks
ranging in capacity up to five tons.
With this complete line you can offer
a suitable vehicle for efficient haul
ing service in any line Of bust
ness.
And we are backing our confidence
in our trucks with comprehensive
advertising campaign. This advertis-
ing in the newspapers and national
magazines will tell the ClydesdaIe
story to millions of interested read
ers and will help Clydesdale dealers
close sales.
Get in touch with US now. Let
US outline our proposition to you. Gel
acquainted with our organization and
our trucks. If you want a perman-
emit proposition, write or wire us al
| once.

OF
R|KER PRODUCES
WORLDS FINEST
Bridgeport Made Car Has
Obtained World Reputa-
ton of Excellence.

At the Automobile Show there will
be an exhibit that should be of special
interest to Bridgeportets. It will
present an opportunity to compare
the care built in this city with auto
mobiles of other makes 1t is a
source of local pride to know that
the Locomobi1e is everywhere con-
sidered one of the worlds finest
cars. The factory was built in this
city in order that the company might
avail itself of the skilled workman
ship for which New England has al
ways been famous. This, together
with the use of the finest materials,
the engineer genius of A. L. Rfker,
and a policy of carefully limited pro-
duction has earned for the Locomo-
bile the place it holds.
The cars to be shown are of the
current model, the Series Two. Bod
les are along the same long low lines
that for the past few years have
characterized the car There are a
number of mechanical refinements, the
most important of which is the use
of the highly economical tandem ign1-
ton. This system, gives the car a
fifteen per cent. increase in power
and at the same time economies on
gasoline. A new perfectly silent
and smooth multiple dry disc clutch
is used. The Rerling magnetic. which
is standard equipment on American
| and British government aeroplanes,
has been accepted, after two years OF
careful teSt3lg. It is American made
| throughout. The Manchester crank
shaft vibration damper is also now
| installed on the Locomobile. It re-
moves the vibration that is present
in every gasoline motor at some speed
| or other. Other changes are in the
pistons and connecting rods which are
made lighter and stronger and in tbs
engine fabrication system which is
now completely automatic.
Although the Locomobile is heavy
it obtains tire and gasoline mileage
that many a lighter car might envy
During recent test a Hartford own
ed Locomobile averaged lit miles t.
the gallon of gasoline. This is By
no means unusual. The improved

sures complete combustion. Thi
means complete efficiency from tn,

today. The tire mileage of the Lo
comobile is uniformly high. This il
because the car, although heavy, il

construction in which both torque ar
and radius rods are used removes al
danger of side strain. which is tn

CLYDESDALE HAS
BEEN SUBJECTED
TO every TEST
FOR Three Years They Have
n Proved Their Value in
European War.
GOLDEN CHANCE FOR
AUTO TRUCK AGENTS
Keenest Engineering Minds
of Three Nations Have
% Perfected Car.

The Clydesdale motor truck has
met the harshest tests of all time
the tests of the great European war
and has conquered. Nearly three
years ago this truck, which was eff
ficiently performing it's peaceful du-
ties here, was selected for war SER
vice in Europe.
The keenest engineering minds in
France, England and America met
and in joint conference made GER
tain changes in it's construction to
enable it to meet better the super
strains of war service. AS a result
it now embodies the best practices of
these three nations the
refinements Of European design with
the advantages Of American manu-
featuring methods.
Motor truck distributors of the
better type have found in the 'Clydes-
dale a golden selling opportunity.
This splendid opportunity however,
has been necessarily limited, because
for the past two years the larger part
of our output has been sent to Eur
ope.
But now, with production increased
so that we can fully care for a large
domestic demand we want about q
hundred additional substantial, relia-
BILE men to represent US US. We want
men who are looking for a perman-
ent truck on which to build a per
nanent growing businessmen who
are real merchants-not merely deal.

n Clydesdale trucks have already
made just as enviable q reputation
