Again our business has grown into
more and more territory and the

field where we have had trucks in

and with war conditions as they are,
effecting the transportation Of mer-

into use heavy duty trucks to trans
port merchandise from city TO city In
an ever increasing area, there comes
demand for increases.

the world would learn IN that way,

TRUCK OUTPUT
WILL INCREASE
Alvin Predicts Production
Of 100000 Trucks in the
Present Year.

Motor truck manufacturing as an
industry is now at is highest level in
America, and with every indication Of
still greater growth. according to
Forrest J. Alvin, general manager Of
the United States Motor Truck COM
pany Of Cincinnati.
Government reports" said the
general manager, show that s0.576
trucks were manufactured in the
United States during the calendar
year Of 1916 with a total value Of
s2O2, 25o,572. Up to the end Of June
Of last year, reckoning from July /.
1916, 10 June 30. 1917. $4,000 trucks
had been manufactured or q total
retail value of s239, 010,757. The pre-
diction is made that 10000 trucks
viii be manufactured IN the current
year with q value Of 1926. 900, 900 to
$3.50, 000, 900. and IL may be that this
figure Will prove too small.
Our experience is such as to in
dicste that the figures will be too
small, for Il every motor truck manu-
facturer experiences the same demand
for trucks as that experienced by US,
manded in production, the figures
viii go much higher. From a small
output we have increased to that
point where we now have more trucks
going through at one time on our
huge assembling floor than we ordin-
arily made in a year. not so many
years ago.
There are many reasons for the
rapid growth OF the business. For

USE A LITTLE SENSE
IN SOUNDING HORN

no you know how to sound the
horn or klaxon on your auto
- mobile?
Were you ever in the act OF cross
ing a street, taking all precautions,
when suddenly from close beside you
came terrible screech or honk that
made your heart demand more room
and startled every one IN your vicin-
ity7
Wen, it's even money you have,
and the things you said or wanted to
say were in the same spirit as the
motorists apparent imperative de-
mand, get out OF here"
The rudeness is usually due to the
fact that the driver does not know
how to sound his warning, or at
least has never given 1t any thought
IN any event. two sets OF warning
signals would help.
Here are some Of the rules regard
ing the use OF the horn or klaxon:
Don't try TO drive" with the auto
mobile horn.
Look out, I'm coming" isn't a law
OF the road
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1918-02-23

Harsh warning signals often cause
car.
Every automobile signal should
have a soft pedal"
Sometimes a touch OF the finger
viii create an ear racking sound not
Intended to be more than a notice of
I'm here"
Many drivers set sail" at more
than so miles and think they are
playing fair with humanity By loud
honking.
Three principal times when the
limit Of noise is proper are:
Ito warn the man on the wrong
side Of the road
TO stop the car backing into you.
AT bad curves.
In going around a car travelling in
the same direction, the klaxon should
be sounded as TO say. Excuse me, I
want to travel a little faster" The
signal should not be a challenge to
get off the road and let some one
ramble that knows how"
Remember you are judged by the
message you transmit through the
horn and not entirely by the color or
style OF your car.

HAS
A REAL JOB NOW
Hupp Man Has to Explain
Why Dealers Will Get
But Few Cars.

Bob Overstreet. lanky. genial and
quite as laxative as ever, paid 4
short visit to R E. Lewis. local Hup-
here he gave emphatic denial 10 the
report that travelling sales managers
for automobiles will be out OF jobs
this summer.
You see, it's this way" said the
Hupp man. I'VE used to go around
and urge a dealer who had ordered
40 cars to take 60 and when he had
the so we'd get him to add 20 more.
It was a great game. But it's differ
emit now.
when a dealer orders so cars, We
90 around and tell him he can only
have 40 and that's darn sight harder
to explain that when he should in
crease the order by 20 more. When
a dealer orders so cars, it's q cinch
that he sees 60 customers just ahead
OF him and he naturally wants his
commissions on the sale OF all those
cars. And when you hit a dealers
commissions. you. hit his heart I
know. I used to be 8 dealer.
Seriously, though, the situation Is
one that should not be lightly passed
over. Cars are going to be scarce
this year. The factories are helping
the government win the war and that
Is taking a big part Of our output
Still We are able to build a lot Of
cars but having cars in Detroit isn't
going TO make an FL Paso motorist
happy. It's going to be q real prob
lem to get the cars from the factory
to the motorist. Railway facilities

Big Saving in Time.
Goodrich tire testers have found
that the greatest advantage Of rural

by motor trucks, is the saving in
time for the farmer. Heretofore the
farmer has been obliged to hitch up

With the great clamor among the

 at the skies; While all the trees in vesper- praise Chant litanies of leaf-sung lays; And I, I roam the winding ways, And let my spirit rise. Then locusts tune their slrldent

 the silent forests lie. W wander when the drowsy moon Is dozng from the cricket tune. And rocking winds have stilled their

Another member has been added to the acting cast, Mir. Fred Demming, who in past years has been a member of this company at diffsr ent times. As an extra added at traction, Al Warda, a bonafide Or pheum circuit act, has been secured for the week by the management. Al Warda has made a world tour over the big circuits, including the Barras- ford and Moss X Stoll tours in Eng land, as well as the South African and Australian tours. Al Warda is here for a short stay at the Springs and being an old friend of Jack Par sons, will give the Grand patrons the benefit of that friendship.
 This act must be seen to be ap- preciated, a description of it here could not do it justice, but a surprise is evidently in store for the audience. "The Travelling Salesman" has been deferred until the entire manuscript arrives and owing to the delay caused by snowbound railways in the east, 1t is not possible to state definitely when it will be produced. However, special announcements will be made to that effect upon it's arrival.
