REPORTS GOOD BUSINESS.
MAXWELL Manager Especially EN-
couraged by Truck Sales.


Harry J. De Bear. manager OF the
New York branch OF the Maxwell Motor
Sales Corporation, 1908 Broadway. Is
not only optimistic about general bust
ness conditions but Is convinced that we
are passing through that inevitable pc
rlod OF readjustment that necessarily
comes during war times and which Is
bound to show the trend that business
conditions will follow.
1T is more than gratifying" says De
Bear, to be able to report that our
sales for the past month have not only
been exceptionally good but that they
have surpassed many months Of normal
times This particularly holds good
with our truck sales and conclusively
proves that not only is the war being
conducted along automotive lines but
that general commerce throughout the
world has at last come to realize that
motor transportation in every branch OF
industry is most important
In our case we have been particu-
.arly fortunate in the fact that we have
rad trucks and passenger cars to de-
liver, and do not hesitate to say that
the public Is at last convinced that every
type OF motor car to-day Is not only not
a luxury but Is an absolute necessity the
elimination OF which would cripple al
most any industry irrespective Of Its
SIZE
The most convincing proofs Of how
ssneral the uses to which motor cars
and trucks may be put were shown dur
ing the recent Liberty Loan, Red Cross
War Savings Stamps and other drives
which could never in the world hav'
been put over with such magnitude with
out the aid Of motor conveyances. Cars
n this noble work not only conveyed
speakers and other workers from place
70 place with speed but reached desti
nations that would have been absolutely
.mpractcable by any other means"

HIGH R. R. RATES BOOM AUTOS.
Cars Are BEING More Generally
Ised EverNMherC.

Used Everywhere.
George stowe. president of the Mitchell
Motor Car Company nf New York. In
discussing the recent increases in rail-
road fares and freight rates, says:
THE most recent increase in railroad
fares Is pretty generally considered by
automobile and motor truck makers to
be the greatest boost transportation by
motor vehicle has received since It be-
came obvious that carriers other than
steam driven would be essential for the
effective releasing of national resources
Probably even greater than the impc-
tus to the motor truck industry will be
the effect on the passenger car business.
Business and professional men will make
short business trips by automobile on
a larger scale than ever before Fewer
trains and conveniences for the travel
ling public will cause thousands to
| switch over to the highways and pas
senger cars.
More and more during the last year
have owners utilized their cars for bust
ness trips Of fifty to 300 miles before
| the railroad rate increase For instance.
trip from Cleveland. Ohio. to Wash
ington, d. c.. via rail previously cost
$1220. while under the new fare sched-
| ule similar trip will cost S17.25.
Large corporations and jobbers who
have provided automobiles for their
| statesmen as well as those considering
this departure as means of trans
portation for their field representatives
VIII enlarge passenger car sales materi-
ally by their demands.
Owners of motor cars who annually
take extensive summer vacation trips on
railroad trains will think twice this year
before passing Up "A vacation via motor.
For example, family of four would pay
| In round trip railroad fare for a distance
! OF 100 miles s24 plus probably Pullman,
city street car fare and baggage transfer.
| while the both ways cost via motor car.
| figuring cost of gasolene, wear on tires
and depreciation on car cost would total
| approximately $40 for the entire family.
| This Is the average estimated cost. con-
| sdernig all types and size sof automo-
biles.
Then the matter OF health is a strong
point in favor of the motor vacation trip.
The highway route avoids the dirt and
cinders OF railroad coaches, the stuffy,
crowded accommodations resulting from
SCORES Of passenger coaches being re-
moved on most OF the main travelled
| lines and the delays getting to and from
railroad stations and changing trains at
terminal points"

cult Service.

1T was not 80 long ago that the Van
derbilt Cup races, Glidden tours and
kindred contests were universally recog-
nized as real tests for the speed and
stamina of a motor car. but contests are
no longer necessary to bring out these
qualities, for the motor car has reached
high standard OF construction. as is
being demonstrated daily on the battle
roads Of Europe says William C.
Poertner. president of the Poertner Mo-
tor Car Company. Inc.

the automobile a military essential. The
