'HURLBURT TRUCK
OUTPUT LARGER
Making More Cars Now and
Expect to Increase Fa-
cilities

Located right in the heart of the
great manufacturing district of New
York City, with ideal opportunities
for boat shipments to every part of
the world. for which the company
has been able to prepare to the min
ute, the Hurlburt Motor Truck Com
pany,i with huge plant at One
Hundred and Thirty-third street and
the Harlem river, New York, has de-
livered its output in the past largely
to the users in the metropolitan dis
trict and to foreign countries. Now
that the company has been re-
financed and has sufficient capital to
make it Independent in every way,
the Hurlburt truck Is to be marketed
in the national field. and the output
of the factory will be greatly in
creased to care for the home con-
sumption and expert demands. We
are shipping our trucks" said w. B..
Hurlburt. president of the company,
whose vision less than ten years ago
was not faulty in foreseeing the flu
ture demand, Ito England, Holland,
Norway, Sweden, Russia. Calcutta,
Bombay. Portugal, Spain, Island Of
Sumatra, Martinique, Porto Rico,
Cuba, Argentina, Chill, France and
to many other countries. There are
now over 500 of our trucks in the
metropolis. and customers who start
ed with a single unit of our make but
a few years ago are to-day ordering
equipment from us to completely
motorize their business. An incident
of this is the order we have just re-
.ceived from the Hecker-J Jones-Je
Milling Company. This concern in
stalled three trucks of our 3 Y ton
model four years ago. then added
five more Hurlburt trucks two years
ago, and this is their order for an
Installation of fifteen trucks of the
tive-ton model and two of the two
ton model, amounting in value to
$4,000, to which will be added the
three per cent. war tax. That Is but
one of the many proofs we have had
of the value of our prduct. for many
large orders of this character have
been taken of late in competition
with well-known makers"

BREAKS RECORDS
WITH PACKARD
Ralph De Palma Drives Car to
Impressive Victory al
Sheepshead Bay

The most Impressive victory ever
scored by driver and car in speed
way contest was achieved by Ralph
de Palma and his aeroplane-motored
Twin Six In the International Sweep
stakes at Sheepshead bay, where all
five events and four worlds records
fell before the prowess of the Italian
pilot and his Packard. The only rea-
son why he did not set Ave new
worlds records may be that the fifth
already is held by de Palma and his
mount.
This clean sweep of a field that
included the star drivers of England,
Belgium, France and America crowns
season in which de Palma has ad-
vanced from one triumph to another
The winning of 10e-mile races ap-
parently has become a flxed habit
with him, and he has aTnassed COL
lection of worlds records for all
sorts of distances involving from a
minute to six hours running.
Experienced observers of motor
car performance on the speedways
believe they know the scientific rea-
son for de Palma's sudden and COM
plete shaking of the ill-fortune that
spoiled his pursuit of victory in pre-
vious years. With his hands on the
wheel of car that has the reserve
power to maintain any desired po-
sition in the long grind or to flash up
to first place in the sprints. the
Italian faces event after event with
confidence that he need not put all
into bursts of extreme speed. to the
imminent Jeopardy of his tires. This
theory is borne out not only by the
victories he has won but by the fact
that he has perfect tire record for
the whole season.
The car with which he Is winning
is special speed chassis. designed
by the Packard, and equipped with
the first aviation-type engine de-
signed and built by the Packard. 1t

pressly designed by the Packard en-
eineers for speed; because 1t is what

CHALMERS CO. IS
MAKING CARS
Official Agent Denies Rumors
and Points to Recent Prog
ress as Best Evidence

In spite of repeated denials, mis-
chievous troub1emakers persist in
their efforts to annoy and handicap
Chalmers dealers throughout the
country with rumors of drastic
changes in the program of Chalmers
production.
The first thing Walter z. Flanders
did in September. 1917. at the time
he assumed the management of the
Chalmers Motor Car Company. was
to mail the lie"' that said Chalmers
production would be stopped or cur
tailed. In a sweeping challenge he
said further that Chalmers cars
would not only continue to be manu-
factured, but in as far as interna-
tional conditions would permit. Chal-
mers production would increase.
Since that time both Mr.. Flanders
and Mr.. Toner have repeated the
statement in emphatic terms, and
yet, after nine months of strict ad-
herence to the original program.
Chalmers dealers still complain of
these groundless errors.
Inc lOllOWlnS POSITIVE assurance
is from an open letter dated May 13.
1918, and sent to all Chalmers deal
ers and distributors by L. A. Smith,
assistant director of Chalmers sales:
I'VE do not and never have had
any intention of even the slightest
letup in Chalmers production, unless
through Government curtailment.
The Maxwell Motor Company is a
separate organization from the Chal-
mers Motor. Car Company, and the
financial strength and experience of
the Maxwell Motor Company have
simply been placed behind the Chal-
mers factory. which will serve to in
sure more Chalmers motor cars and
a stronger Chalmers organization,
and not a discontinuance of the.line.
For the past six months the Chal-
mers Motor Car Company stands
fourth in the United States in the
number of six-cylinder motor cars
produced and sold at a price of
$1,000, Just as Mr.. Flanders advised
would be done.
'Please dispel any thought that we
are going to stop manufacturing
Chalmers motor cars"

MILEAGE RECORE
MADE ON US. TIRE
Florida Bus Driver Tells of
Exceptional Mileage He OBJ
tanned From Royal Cord

Twenty-Five thousand miles on
United States Royal Cord Tire is no
longer an unusual performance, but
the manager of bus line operat-
ing in Florida has turned in a ree-
ord of a Royal Cord which has made
25, ,421 miles under exceptional cir
cumstances.
This tire was part Of the equip
ment on a 4.40o-pound bus runnins
between Tampa and Lakeland, leo
miles a day over brick. asphalt ana
clay roads. It ran S,052 miles on u
rear wheel before a puncture came
1t was then shifted to front wheei
for a run of 7.700 miles and again
back to the rear. where 1t lasted for
1853 miles more.
The owner of the bus states that
he has nine United States tires
which have been in use severnt
months and have averaged 16'ooo
miles each.
The Royal Cord which made the
25,421-mile record has been replaced
by another Royal Cord that has al
ready run 10000 miles.

Rubber Compound

Rubber compound is an automo-
bile tire protector. If used as di-
rected, having been tested by wide
use, more or less upon the road, the
manufactures feels confident that a
wide knowledge of it's merits will
largely increase its demands. The
facts of good results, in prolonging
the life of the tire by increased
toughness of the fiber of the rubber,
adds many miles of life to the tire,
which materially reduces the cost of
the improved rubber tire. 1t is a
valuable consideration to the owner
of the automobile. 1t applies to the
solid truck tires also with the same
good results. 1t will preserve and
keep leather, curtains and top of the
automobile and can be used with
good results on the body and wheels
of the same. Adam Orris, Manufac-
turer, 31S West Main Street, Mechan-

SPANISH BOY TELLS
OE Ir-ROAT EXPERIENCE

The exciting tale of his experiences
as a shipwrecked sailor. floating fol-
two hours with only a piece of mast
for support after his ship had been
torpedoed, was told by Pancop Rem
a nineteen-year-old Spanish boy, at
the police station last night.
Rem said he was on the top deck
of the ship San Fugas, bound for
this country. when he heard the cry
that submarines had been sighted. He
declared when the torpedo struck the
ship he was blown into the air, and
when he landed in the water started
swimming with only a piece of mast
for support. A crew from another
ship picked up the sailor. He will

''PRUSSIANS ARE BEASTS" SAYS
LOUIS RAEMAKERS

We are quoting the following inter-
esting remarks from Major Erie Fisher
Woods Mote Book of An Intelligence
Officer"
Mr. Raemaeller, the famous Dutch
cartoonist, took lunch with me today.
His anti-Cerman cartoons have travel
ed all over the civilized world to ex-
coriate Prussianized Germany. SO
frightful are they that the Kaiser
after first unsuccessfully trying to
bride Mr.. RGemaekers to discontinue
publishing them, has set a price on
his head to any one who murders him
or entices him into Germany.
[ asked him about tn1s and with an
air Of self consciousness and some
hesitation he said: yes, they have put
a price on my head. I am sorry to
say that it is only twelve thousand
marks. 1 had thought it worth more
than that to get me out of the way.
Perhaps German efficiency realized
that such a sum would seem fabulous
to any criminal, while millions would
be insufficient to tempt an honest man

Great men so seldom look the part
they play that it is refreshing to find
one who. like Mr.. Raemaekers, looks
what he isra great artist. Although
he is rather Shy little man with blond
hair, pale blue eyes and fine pointed
Van Dyke beard, one would never mis-
take him for anything but man Of

one perceives half hidden below his
mild and gentle manner a certain
splendid fanaticism, which every now
