TINE,
TINE IS MONEY
Modern Business Demands
Speedy Cars as Well as
Fleets Of Trucks.

People sometimes get a misconcep-
tion about automobiles in business
uses" was the opening statement OF
a. H. Stevens, manager of the Border
Motor company. speaking relative to
the various uses Of the auto in the
business world today"
1T is true" continued Mr.. stephens
that two years ago many more autos
were bought for purely pleasure pur-
poses than now, but even at that time
by far the greater percent Of even
the most costly and elegant cars were
used for business more than pleasure
Now it is doubly true.
There seems to be an idea some
times that for business use a truck
should be used or a time battered car.
1t must be remembered that now speed
is an essential factor in business and
that for many purposes a truck is not
fast enough nor is it economy to own
a rattletrap. A perfectly good car Is
more satisfactory for travel. makes
better time and is less subject 10
breakdOwns causing loss Of time
which amounts 10 loss OF money even
when cost Of repairs is not counted.
over all the burdens. nor viii they.
Parcels galore formerly delivered by
firms are now carried in Paiges
Saxons and other cars Of standard
makes These kinds OF cars are also
proving Of most economy where long
trips are to be made at frequent inter
walls from ranches 10 the city. Trav-
cling statesmen who have very largely
awaited themselves Of the use of the
auto-esp specially in thickly settled dis
tricts-have found from experience
that a first class car is what they
need for carrying their samples.
Trucks are much in demand nowadays
as I find in selling the Bethlehem, but
IL is q mistake to believe everything is
running to trucks. Fast work re-
quires standard autos and the demand
for them is still good In fact, I find
il not so much a question of the de-
mand as a question OF supplying It.
While 1 now have on hands a supply
Of Paige sport roadsters. five and sew
en- passenger cars, am not so sure
about what I can get when they are
gone The same is true concerning
Saxon cars, a supply OF which I have
on hand There is no doubt about the
growth Of the truck business, but let
nobody believe that the auto business
is dwindling- Both autos and trucks
are nOsing out the horse, each max
ing great inroads."

TIRES SAVED BY

User by Timely Advice
on Proper Care.

When a tire has gone wrong, It is
too late TO give adviee-on that par
tIcuiar tire Instructions concerning
The proper care Of tires must come al
the time Of purchase to be of value to
the tire user. If when q tire finally
blows out or otherwise goes out Of
service. the owner finds out that his
failure TO observe a few simple rules
OF tire care has cost him half the life
OF his tire. some one has been at
fault. Either the motorist failed TO
heed the advice given him when he
purchased the tire Of the dealer failed

This is where our service plan
helps the tire user" declares C. ".
Allen. branch manager Of the Good

Our tires have built in them as

matte tire can have, but they do not
deliver the same mileage because they

To OVERLOAD IS
DRIVERS HABIT
Truck Dealers Have Load
ing Problem to Con-
tend With.

Because OF the increased demands
for trucks and in compliance with
government requests that all indus
trial undertakings be hurried by all
possible mechanical means, the Tri-
State Motor company have for the
tine being turned very largely to the
distribution OF trucks. Two carloads
OF Ford trucks received this week
were largely disposed OF in filling
advance orders. but the company still
have some on hands.
Every truck dealer has to contend
with a peculiar problem in the han
ding Of trucks" states manager
Kirkpatrick, Of the Tri-State. Il re-
fer to the almost universal habit Of
overlooking trucks. Should we sell
trucks those maximum capacity IS
three fourths Of a ton and label it a
three quarter ton truck, we would
have broken down trucks back on our
hands in short order. Not once in a
dozen times would the burden De
three fourths Of ton or less Most
times IL would be nearly twice that
and at times two tons.
Marking the capacity OF a truck
plainly on a plate and placing II IN
a conspicuous place even with warn
ing not to overload apparently has
very little effect The overload just
the same. Why2 Well. It seems to
be human nature to do what one can
get by with. Long ago the Ford COM
pany ceased trying to change human
nature, finding IL much easier to
change the truck. AS a result parts
have been made stronger and the
truck easily bears 100 per cent greater
burden than represented That saves
US from breakdowns and has built
up a NATIONWIDE reputation for the
truck that has WithstoOd all the abuse
common 20 overlooking only adding
to the laurels. That's how we get by
even when drivers do overload"

FL PA50 PEOPLE
HAVE ADVANTAGE
Get Far More Prompt De-
iveries and More Cars
Than East Does.

People in the southwest should
realize that they are really getting
the best Of the traffic service at the
present time. Because Of the con
gested conditions in the east, permits
must be obtained before shipments
Of trucks may be made to the east
from Michigan factories. This is not
required on western shipments be-
cause the congestion is not so great
in this section"
This is an eye opener given by H
NJ Gillespie, sales manager OF the
Southern Motor company. Mr.. Gil
lespie but recently came 10 FL PasO
from New York TO take a position
with the Southern, having been in
employ Of the Republic interests.
Dealers are expecting trucks TO
be placed on the priority list at an
early date" continued Mr.. Gillespie
This viii do away with the red tape
that must now be resOrted TO in or
der TO obtain material At present
the manufacturers must show in what
line or capacity the truck is TO be
used before an order for material may
be secured
Due TO shipping conditions the
Southern Motor company has more
trucks in stock than all the distrl5u
tors in the east combined. That is
one OF the things that causes me to
call attention TO the west being ia
vored in shipping and to say that II
a little Inconvenience is experienced
here because OF delayed deliveries,
just think OF the people in The east
who have not nearly so good service
and let us be thankful that We are
getting the best OF it."
During the last week the Southern
has sold a two ton Republic truck TO
the Rio Grande Oil company. another
two ton truck TO Held brothers, and
nine others. Truck business is get
ting better every day" reports mara
ger David Russek. "and the nice part
