Explains Why "Service
Above All" Paws
Prominent Distributor of Little Giant Truck
Gives Some Splendid Ideas
on Service
on Service.

While making our rounds this week
for advertising copy we chatted
pleasantly with Mr.. s. Sidney Forst.
president Of Forst Bros, Inc. dis-
tributers for District Of Columbia.
Maryland and Virginia. Of Little Giant
trucks. During the conversation we
mentioned that we had figured many
users of trucks might be skeptical of
its agents were constantly talking
service; or In other words that the
constant talk on service might cause
the prospective purchaser to believe
that the truck was one that required
considerable service. Mr.. Forst yehe-
mently denied this and stated:
'"The majority of truck users today
know that no matter what the orig
inal quality OF the truck, they are
bound to have accidents for which the
car is not to blame. Sometimes it Is
the fault OF the chauffeur. sometimes
the other fellows chauffeur. some
times road conditions, ETC.. but rarely
the fault Of the car itself, no matter
what make. That's why the biggest
users OF trucks today when in the
market for additions to their fleets
want to feel satisfied that the trucks
they buy can be supplied promptly and
efficiently with new parts when they
are needed. for they are always need
ed when least expected. And that's
why we insisted on making Service
Above All our slogan and in order
to live up to it have equipped our
selves with an immense stock of re-
pair parts and an efficient corps OF
repair men.
'.As an instance of why Service
Above All pays let us cite two oc-
currences that happened recently:
"One Of our trucks working in
Alexandria, through collision. sprang
a leak in the radiator The chauffeur,
fearing to tell the owner of the truck.
took IL to timer to have it repaired
and in repairing 1t the timer put in a

Those furnish but a few side
lights of the part the passenger au-
tomobile is playing directly in the
conduct of tn war. Indirectly its
part Is an even bigger one. though
perhaps less spectacular.
The loss of man, power in civil
pursuits necessitates greater indi-
vidual accomplishment on thn part
Of those left behind. Their duties are
multiplied. not only by the demands
of their regular vocations, but by
the imperative call of patriotism
The efficient man Of today must

would perhaps be impossible to es-

observation to prove to anyone that
they are performing a service that
is beyond question very great and

solid gasket, shutting off all radiation.
The next morning the chauffeur start
ed out with the truck and In a short
time the engine became red hot, and
again the foolish chauffeur, in order
to cool It and to avoid having to re-
port the former accident, threw a
bucket Of cold water over the engine.
You know what happened! At II
o'clock Saturday morning the owner
phoned US to say that his truck was
stuck in Alexandria He didn't know
the reason. We sent for IL and our
repairmen learned the whole story
from the chauffeur, and Immediately
phoned US telling of the cracked cy!in-
der, SO we had the truck brought in
to our service station. Mr.. Arthur
Forst, who has complete charge Of all
service, called on the owner the same
afternoon and explained matters. The
owner was interested only in getting
the difficulty remedied as quickly as
possible. He wouldn't lose any time
Saturday afternoon or Sunday. but
the truck must be back on the job
Monday morning at s. It could only
be done by working hard all day Sum
day. Well. at o'clock Monday morn
ing, the truck was at work with a
stock.
THE other instance was where the
owner OF a Little Giant drove it to
Richmond and on the way broke the
transmission case. That happened on
a Friday. He wired US from Rich
mond on Saturday morning. On Mon
day morning his truck was at work
in Richmond with a new transmission
case.
That's what we call Service Above
All and do you think either Of the
aforementioned owners would buy a
truck now from any other dealer?
Every owner OF a Little Giant i'm
mediately upon purchasing becomes
one of our organization. and is treat
ed like a partner in our business.
That's why Service Above All pays"
And the business this firm is doing
is ample proof that Mr.. Forst knows
whereof ne speaks.

The national brake inspection

If it does nothing more than call
the attention of motorists to the
necessity of a regular inspection of
their brakes.
In fast rail traffic, both with the
steam railroads and electric trains.
the first requisite, says Mr..
Younger, is the rapidity with which
the engine can stop. This point
is exemplified by the exactness
with which the New York City sub
way trains come to a dead stop.
The engineers in charge of these
trains know to the fraction of a
foot where they must apply their
brakes.

EFFICIENT BRAKES
on ARMY TRUCKS

Uncle Sam is not overlooking the
importance of efficiency from every
angle in the motor transport and
ambulance division of the army.
These machines must stand a wear
and tear probably never given to
motor-driyen vehicles since their
birth as an established necessity
in every day and international life.
One Of the most important fac
tors entering into the final analy-
SIS OF a motor truck ambulance,
which will eventually see service
Somewhere in France" Is in the
estimation of motor war officers,
the efficiency of the brakes. The
motors, especially the trucks, must
travel a matter of hundreds of
miles back and forth from the front
amid the most difficult surround
ings. II has been stated on au-
thority that for three hundred miles
up and down the fighting front
there Is an almost continual stream
Of trucks, ambulances, couriers and
motorcycles running in such close
proximity that unless the brakes
are in perfect running order, hun
dreds OF casualties would result al
most daily.
Brakes form only a background
for their more important sister
upon whom the real burden rests:
that Of the brake-lining itself.
Thousands OF miles of brake-lining
are being used daily by the gov
ernment and owing to this fact,
Uncle Sam has ordered tests to be
made OF the various makes. These
tests are now going on in wash

A new kitchen on wheels is carrying
the message of food conservation in
street meetings to many Boston
women who have not been reached di-
rectly in any other way. A motor
truck, which has been contributed by
public-spirited woman of the city,
has been fully equipped for food
demonstrations that are given by
home demonstration agents of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and the State agricultural col
lege cooperating with the State Food
Administration. The truck carries a
large-sized electric stove, a white
enameled kitchen cabinet, zinc table
for hot dishes. and an enameled table
for the actual work of cooking and
canning. Two dozen camp chairs are
also provided. and other chairs and
benches are usually brought out from
homes in the vicinity of the demon
stration. The audiences have aver

ton on the feeding Of children and the

FRITz,S NUMBER

Commodore Perry's famous mes
sage, I'VE have met the enemy and
they are ours" is given new version
in an interview with Floyd Gibbons, a
war correspondent who left one eye
in France. Says Gibbons:
The American soldier has met the
German and has his number"
Or as our lighting men phrase it,
still more tersely, in their letters
home:
We've got Fritz's goat"
There is no doubt about it. The
American soldier, having licked the
Boche every time he has met him, is
absolutely convinced that he can lick
him every time hereafter.
Such faith as that brings its own
realization. Just because our boys are
sure that they can lick the Germans,
they can. By the same token, the
Germans are coming to regard it as a
moral certainty that whenever they
meet the Americans. they will be lick
ed-and that feeling helps to lick
them.
Most commentators prefer to call il
the psychology of victory on one
side and "deteriorating morale" on
the other. 1t means the same thing
The point is that the great myth OF
German superiority is exploded, the
Hun has been stripped of pretense and
self-confdence, the Prussian army has
no more power TO terrify Man for
man. the American knows himself the
Huns master.
1t will still be a long, hard fight
against organization and machinery
but fight made simple and plain by
the certainty OF the outcome
