= This remarkable grOUH Is the natural result Of
motor truck business founded and conducted on
basis of right ideas right business ideals, and right
product II is the story of business which, starting
small has grown in eight years from fifty thousand
dollar company to two million dollar organization
without reorganization, re-fnancing or fundamental
changes.
The reason for this remarkable expansion goes
back of course to the Federal demand In spite of in
creasing facilities, the Federal demand has out
stripped Federal production facilities by from three
to six months II has outstripped the growing
ket for motor trucks and the present extraordinary
demand The call for Federals has been insistent
as to constitute distinct chorus giving general APP
pr6val TO the sturdily built standardized Federal
line. The Federal problem has not been wholly
of securing dealers and sales but of bigger produc-
ton to meet the demand
Public approval of the enlarged Federal line has
aligned itself with public approval of Federal con
struction. The increase of models and standardized
ton of design has been carried out consistently with
the long established Federal policy. Only after
studying haulage from every possible angle, the
additions and changes made. Already success has
stamped them correct in every case. From the
smallest the ton, to the largest the five ton the
various sizes have shown themselves the ones best
adapted to the hauage needs of business Still add-
government and other governments have chosen prac
tcally this same range of capacities for the strenu-
work of supplying their armies needs.

Commissioner Carter has started

number of wagons hauling off trash
yesterday. Although notice was Civ
en- that the work would begin in
the Third ward yesterday, there
were many places the wagons passed
by because the people did not have
the trash on their premises gathered
up ready for the men to haul it
away. The wagons will work in
the Third ward all of this week, and
then an officer will be sent to see
who did not clean up their premises,
and they will be notified to do so
at their own expense. If they clean
up, and have the trash ready when
the city wagons come, it will be
hauled away without expense to the
people, On the completion of the
work in the Third ward another
ward will be cleaned next week, and
so on until the entire city has been
