In an interview last night at the

Nineteen hundred and eighteen is

ness. The Auto Show has surely
stirred up a lot of enthusiasm for the

fits to truckusers would be enor-
nous. A comparison of figures
would bring to light many possibil-
tiles of economy, as well as many
causes of waste. Expensive methods
would have to go, time-saving and
money-saving ideas would spread
throughout the truck using public.
Take the matter of supplies. A
great deal of doubt exists to-day in
the minds of truck owners as to
which oil, which tires, which acces-
sories of all kinds are the best
Many owners admit there seems to
be no way of finding out. Suppose
now that considerable number of
truck owners kept their tire costs in
the same way.
The reports from dozens, per-
haps hundreds of truck owners, rem
dered in n uniform way, would tell
a convincing story. They would es-
tablish proof where heretofore there
was guess work.
Consider the matter of mainte-
nance or repair. Every reputable
truckmaker is searching constantly
for information which will enable
him to perfect his product. The
world is his laboratory, and he
would like nothing better than to
ICSClNS I6pOIlS IEOIl dll MS GUS
toners which would describe the
shortcomings and lay bare the weak
points of his truck. Unfortunately
this information is not yet available
to him, except in fragmentary form.
And even in those rare cases where
he does receive the complete his
tory of an installation, the story is
apt to be, as it were, in a foreign
language which must be translated
or interpreted before it can be of
use. The same may be said of the
maker of parts.
What former attempts to estab-
lish a standard cost system have
lacked, seems to be abundantly sup
piled in the movement now well un-
der way by the Truck Owners Con-
ference, Inc, at Chicago. 1t is
hoped that this movement will re-
suit in a cost system being approved
which may fully take the title of a
standard system. The movement is
by far the most encouraging sign of
action toward this end that the in
dustry has yet seen, and as such de-
serves the support of every truck
owner, manufacturer and maker of
truck parts"

AutOcars For the Bigger and
Better Parcel Post Service

The Post Office Departments new
farm to table" motor truck service
is getting enthusiastic reception
from farmers along the route, ac-
cording to department officials, COM
me1tinG on the plan to put the farm
products at the disposal of city
homes.
The first route links Philadelphia
and Ralt'm more with the rich farming
district of Chester county. Pa. OK
ford, in the center of the county is
the end of the route. Autocars
bought by the department are maxi
ing frequent trips between the coun-
try post offices and both cities.
Under the Farm to Table" plan
the department has issued. booklets
giving the names of the farmers
along the route who are willing to
sell their products on mail orders
from either city. The farmer fills his
orders and tarns them over to the
nearest post office, or other collec-
ton point. Then the Autocar trucks
carry them to the Philadelphia and
Baltimore post offices from which
they are delivered through the regu-
lar channels of the parcel post.
That the farmers are enthusiastic
over the new service is the assur-
ance given by an Oxford newspaper,
which says:
1.-THE post office departments new
Autocar trucks made the initial run
between Oxford and PHILADELPHIA
and Baltimore with great success.
Citizens living along the routes hail
ed the trucks as they passed and
piled the drivers with questions as to
how they could make use of the
service. The Autocans are of ton

built and snugly enclosed. The
words United States Mail shine in
new letters on the sides of the

PENNSYLVANIA
ASKED TO ASSIST
Expert Accountants Wanted
by the Army and Can Be
Inducted From Draft

Pennsylvania has been called upon
by the United States Army to furnish
twenty-five expert accountants and
State Draft headquarters to-day
said that any men registered under
the draft may apply and be inducted
INTO the service. The accountants,
who are to be sent to Fort Slocum
preparatory to being assigned to sta
tlons or camps, must be experts and
certified public accountants would
be preferred. The call requires
Pennsylvania to furnish it's quota
OF accountants by February 8.
The state was called upon to fur
nish seventy-five bricklayers for ac-
tive service with the Army and fur
nished eighty-seven. The call for
the bricklayerS came on January IL
and In thirteen days more than the
quota had been supplied. These
men were draft registrants who vol
unteered their services and were
promptly inducted into the Army.
Draft headquarters reports show
that the eighty-seven men came
from all over the state, Philadelphia.

VALUE OF TIRE SERVICE

Tire service should mean more
than merely changing and repairing
tires and tubes" remarked a local
dealer in Firestone tires and rims
one day this week.
THE experienced driver appreci-
ates service that takes care of his
rims as we'll as his tires. Too many
dealers who are giving an elaborate
free tire service are overlooking this
little item. Drivers usually know
more about tires than they do about
rims. That is because their tires
give them more trouble than their
rims. But frequently defective rims
are the cause of their tire trouble.
The conscientious service man will
examine the rims carefully, make
such minor repairs as appear nee
essary and advise the owner on the
more important repairs
The dealer pointed out that the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company
is the only tire company manufac-
turing rims and that Firestone deal
ers have the advantage of being able
to supply rims and rim parts made
by tire specialists

a constant artillery and machine gun
fire to drive them out. This continued
all day on Tuesday and towards even

jus thirty-eight years ago today e.
n. Crosby and w. T. Crosby, brothers,
opened a little store in Topeka. The
store was advertised as the Crosby
Brothers dry goods c. mpany, and since
that time it has grown steadily until
lit today occupies one of the proudest
positions in the department store world
of the west.
The first store of the Crosby Broth
ers' company was opened in 1880, in
the north half of what is now the To-
cation of the Bank of Topeka. 1t grew
and flourished there until 1885, when
1t was moved to the south half of the
building it now occupies When the
Mills Dry Goods company relinquished
| its lease on the buildings next door
north some six months after moving
into the new Mills building at Ninth
and Kansas avenue, the Crosby Broth
ers Immediately expanded, and today
are occupying the floor space of what
was formerly both the Crosby concern
and the Mills company. The Crosby
Brothers company has been in its
present location for twenty-five wears.
The first store opened by TIE two
| brothers was g. small affair. being
about the size of the present office
| of the big department store. The per-
| sonnet OF the sales force in the first
store was the two brothers. a cash
| boy, and two clerks Today the office
force alone of the company, exclusive
of sales clerks, is sixteen employees.
