What Would Happen If AL
Cars Were Laid Up for
30-Day Period?

Were all automobiles and motor
driven vehicles ordered from the
streets and from the country roads
for a period OF 30 days. what would
happen to the business interests OF
America
A prominent official Of one Of the
national associations recently placed
such a proposition before members
Of the trade, who marveled and pnO-
dered, and started from that time to
study the automobile situation as it
really is. Few Of them had realized
in the rush of their business the real
necessity OF the passenger car and
motor true kto the business OF the
day, and the question brought home
TO them the fact that business
throughout America without motor
cars would be at standstil. and
although the readjustment was made
TO the old style OF transportation,
business OF today would be an tmpos-
sibility under former transportation
methods by horse entirely.
Grover L Pickrell, manager OF the
Ramming Motor company. feels that
the motor driven vehicle is an indis-
pensable necessity to America at all
times, and at no time more than dur
ing the great war Americas man
hood IS engaged so largely in war,
and so many OF Americas young
husIlerS are engaged IN war Occupd-
tons, that there must be an Increase
in efficiency in every field The mo-
tor car is labor saving machinery,
in the estimation Of Mr.. Pickrell. and
is q time saver in every department
OF business. Automobiles in busi-
ness are an economy and not an ex-
travagance.
Passenger automobiles have given
greater service" said Mr.. Pickrell,
land viii give greater service in the
United States than Is given by the
railroad and street railway systems

bile a necessity according to the re-
plies.
Some OF the reasons why the pas
seuger car is Indispensable in many
lines Of business, told in the words OF
owne: 5, are:
7 must have a car or have an as
sistant" -Manufacturer
Were II not for my car would
have to reduce my practice "-Physi-
clan
MY car enables ne to handle three
times the business" - Livestock
USED car 10000 miles IN 1917 IN
my business exclusively. "-Enginee
and Contractor.
Gould not get along without q
car."-Real Estate Dealer.
7 think a car IS the life OF my bust
ness"-Farmer and Thresher.
A retail lumber dealer said he rent
ed his passenger car 10 his employees
at a set sum each week and that all
OF them benefited through increased
business.
Many OF those who replied 70 the
Haynes Questionable called attention
to the fact that present conditions de-
mand the utmost conservation OF man
power
OF the less than 20 percent who DO
not hold their automobiles necessary
TO the conduct OF business, many say
that without their cars their efficien.
cy would be greatly reduced.
MY efficiency Is raised by having
a car for recreation" writes q mer-
chant Tt affords recreation for me
and nv family and adds to our health
and efficiency" IL the declaration OF
a lawyer.

and other markets than It is for Ari-
IONA 10 ship the baled cotton
There is no scarcity OF rubber at
Akron at the present time. There are
( some thousands Of tons in reserve at
the big tire factories. but the fabric
and also the cord used in cord tires
are scarce.
Undoubtedly there viii be no
| trouble in securing some liberal stock
I subscriptions in Akron to back q cot
I ton mill in FL Paso if a local company
l be formed. When The Herald man
asked William O'Neil, president of
! the General Tire and Rubber COM
pany. why Akron had so many tire
! factories. he said:
"A couple OF plants happened TO To-
cate here and they sold stock. These
plants made money and the stock
holders, In many cases, became mil
/ llonaires. AS a result, other tive com
panies we're formed ard prospersd
and Akron soon had more million
aires. Following this, everybody in
Akron became a prosr ect for the
purchase Of tire company stock. and
that Is the big reason so many tire
companies have established their
plants here. Another factor, OF
course. is the fact that skilled labor
can be obtained here more readily
than in any other city in the coun-
try
There should be no difficulty in
making contracts in Akron for the
entire output OF the FL Paso cotton
mill, II one be established
It takes really expert tire builders
to make the COMPLETE tire, and while
1t may be possible TO get a tire fac
tory for Fl Paso. the problem would
be a much harder one than the cotton
mill proposition.
Another manufacturing proDosition
which was Investigated by The Her
aid man while around the big auto
centers was that Of establishing q
truck assembly plant here. There is
one big obstacle in this case-the
difficulty OF obtaining the ne eessary
parts. A great many OF the trucks
that are new on the market this year
are assembled units. but in nearly
every case the contracts for parts
were made last year At that these
new companies are finding it difficult
10 obtain all the parts they require.
and an entirely new company would
face an almost hopeless situation IN
the supply markets Of the east.

TRUCKS CROWD
OUT THE CARS
Need of Commercial Trans.
port Pushes Trucks to
the Front Rank

The motor truck has assumed a
predominant place In the automobile
news Of the day. Trucks have come
into their own.
The automobile Industry. which
has so nobly taken hold Of bovern-
ment enterprises for war work, has
received much OF Its Inspiration and
enthusiasm from the support given
It by the newspaper men," says NJ L.
Pulcher, vice president and general
manager Of the Federal Motor Truck
company. There is no doubt but
that the automobile industry mer-
tied this support and appreciated It.
The growth OF the automobile in
dustry has been one OF the wonders
Of the age and now We can see that
this development Is OF incalculable
benefit to the country in its time Of
need
"The interest, however, Of the pub
lie is changing. This is seen as you
glance over almost any newspaper
in the country. Commercial haulage
is one OF the most vital elements in
the country's business and in the win
ming OF the war. Business men are
interested in completing their con-
tracts. The war department is inter-
ested In equipping the army and navy
and forwarding supplies to all de-
partments. Naturally, the motor
truck being the most mobile means
OF fast transportation, Is receiving a
great deal OF attention from these
men.
1T may even be said that the motor
truck will be the biggest factor in the
winning Of the war. Just as the au-
tomobile and motor truck won the
battle OF the Marine, and saved Paris,
by Transporting the French army
quickly to the new battle front, just
so has the responsibility Of our coun-
try's part OF the war developed on
the truck.
Many newspapers are devoting al
most their entire energies in their
show issue to the motor truck indus
try. The Baltimore News, for in
stance, has dedicated its entire an
nual show number to the motor
truck This is evidence OF the prom
inence of the motor truck Industry in
the job the United States has on
hand
zone OF the most interesting phases
Of the extension Of motor truck &C
tivity is found in the story Of inter-
city trucking. Several companies
have Incorporated for over Sl.O0O.000

and other cities IN the central west

developments OF transportation. They
