DELIVER PRODUCTS
 PROMPTLY BY AUTO

Eighh. n...p-01r etaoin shrdlu
 With the United States becoming virtually the worlds producing and manufacturing headquarters, with Un- cle Sam spending billions of dollars for these goods and supplies, it is up to every manufacturer, wholesaler and re- taller to deliver products promptly, without depending on the railroads any more than absolutely necessary.
 Tt has been proven, and is being proven every day that the motor truck fills up the gap created by the coun- trys lack of transportation equip- ment," says the Kissel Auto company of Phoenix.
 Delays permissible before the war, will no longer be tolerated. The rail- roads are the connecting link between the source of supply and demand. We must not weaken them by adding to their already top sheavy burden. The i 1918 record breaking crops must be moved quickly from field to shipping roint. Larger manufacturing produc- tion avails nothing if the goods cannot be transported.

SERVICE B|G FACTOR
 IN SELLING TIRES

Just as service has been amazingly developed by the more progressive au- tomobile dealers who first realized it's value as a sales stimulant, so it has made remarkable progress during re- cent years in the tire end of the in- dustry.
 It is conservative to say that pro5- ably more stress is placed on SC. vice facilities in the tire advertising copy of the various manufacturers today than on any other single item. It is also interesting to note that some of those manufacturers who in the early days scoffed at the elaborate service methods of their competitors are now putting into effect service plans of a most extensive nature.
 F. c. Millhoff, general sales mana ger of the Miller Rubber company of Akron, bases the success of that com- pany's tire ambition wholly on it's ser- vice methods, announces the Central Auto Supply company distributors of Miller tires in Phoenix
 Irrespective of the merit of a pro- duct, if it is of the kind that is subject to wear and tear svme provision should be made for it's protection while in use,' declares Mir. Millhoff. "The manufacturer should not only render that protection to his product in order that he maintain high standing in the industrial world-a position of dig nity and integrity-but he certainly owes it to the consumer.
 l Consumer Is Best Friend
 "The consumer is the manufacturers best friend. The success of the firm stands wholly on the attitude that the consumer manifests toward him, and, if the product has merit, and the con- sumer gets the right kind of service, there never need be fear concerning that consumers loyalty toward the product.
 We of the Miller Rubber company consider our customers OFT best friends. An example of this is shown in Akron, where 70 per cene of all tires in the world are manufactured. The Miller company, by no means .he larg- est producer in Akron, sells more tires in that city than any other single com- pany. There is but one reason for the Akron demand for Miller tires, and that is that the Miller company was the first to give Ak-onites really mod ern and efficient service station.
 We have endeavored to maintain that leadership in service facilities ever since, with the result that we think it is not so much a question of creating a demand for our product ds it is a problem for us to fill that de- mand.
 Prompt, efficient ard economical service is in my opinion indispensable from the standpoint of a company that would attain the highest degree oi business success"

.LEET of over 200 Mack Trucks,

T LEFT of over 200 Mack Trucks, lF for which the Ferguson -Keeler company are the local distributors are here seen in battle array. The trucks are lined up for inspection be- fore shipment to France. These trucks and several thousand others in the service of the U. s. engineers are to be engaged in the greatest contracting job on earth, that of winning the war.
 Another star is to be added to the service flag of Ferguson -Keeler com pany when their head mechanic, con- monly known by all who drive an Olds- mobile in this locality by the short name of Perry leaves for the land department of the aviation. Perry is a married man but the call was too great and the government gained a valuable man when Perry enlisted and was ac
 cepted last week. He was given his choice of various training camps and Riverside, Calif.. was his choice. Perry has already left on his vacation before taking up his new duties at the avia- tion school. Besides having to be an expert on the airplane motors, Perry will be obliged to learn how to fly as well. I'm rearin' to go," said Perry.

BRITANNIA TANK
 GOODMONEYA AND SCOOPS IN CASH

As a medium of exciting patriotism end helping 10 put across" some of the recent patriotic money raising drives few things have been more successful than tho British tank Britannia" now touring the country.
 Captain Richard Haigh. a youthful veteran of the British tank corps. is in rharge. The tank is now on tour from Washington through the east and south. Stops of three days to one week are being made in many of the larger cities. The huge monster tank. which was in the thickest of the fight in Franco. is transported from city to rity on a flat car.
 Both the tank Britannia" and a Willys- Knight eight which accompan> les it on tour. arc equipped with the same type of mOtor-the Knight sleeve valve lt was the only motor to with stand the rigid test stipulated by the British engineers who designed the tanks. Each tank is equipped with two powerful Knight motors. This moving fort-tons in weight-must have motor of tremendous power and absolute reliability.
 Upon this one vital feature depends entirely the lives of the crew-the success of the charge-and. perhaps. the winning of the battle. The tank Is doomed if the motor fails or falters the sleeve-valve motor measures up Co these requirements.
 The Willys-Knight eight. which Captain Haigh drives. is finished in The regulation British army khaki with the British coat-of-arms on each side of the car.

ENABLES I
 OWNER T0CARRY' LESS RAW GOODS

''The transportation certainty of motor trucks enables owners to reduce capital formerly tied up in raw ma terial and stock parts,' says the Kis- sel Auto company of Phoenix. fE
 Before the advent of the motor truck, the uncertainty and length of time it took to receive shipments. necessitated concerns investing heaV- fly in goods and supplies to have sur- ficient stock on hand for continuous production, as well as protection in case of railroad tie-ups. sA
 The motor truck has eliminated this dependency on uncertain transportd- ton methods. It enables concerns go- ing after materials at any time, there ! by reducing the amount of available supplies, and keeping the money in ths bank for other purposes" s

 The car, carrying an S2O pound load did little better than 22 miles to a gallon of gasoline for the first 726 miles of the trip. This included cross ing the La Bajada and Raton moun- tains, as well as many very difficult tnmade roads in the valleys of New Mexico and Colorado.

 ECONOMY RUN NEXT
 EVENT OF THE Al. 4.

The Los Angeles to Yosemite economy run will be conducted this year under the auspices of the Ameri- can Automobile association, the neces- sary sanction having been granted.
 This run was one of the big motor events of last year, fourteen different makes of cars competing over a grilling stretch of 370 miles, The cars were divided into classes according to price, the Dort, Monroe and Franklin winning in their respective groups. The lowest fuel record of all the cars was made by the Dort, which con- sumed 14H gallons of gasoline, an average of 25.96 miles per gallon.
 On account of the many changes in prices this year, all cars sold for less than $1200, are eligible for entry against the Dort, whereas last year the price limit was 5000 for this class.

LIBERTY
 BELL EXHIBITED

The largest Liberty bell ever built was placed in Liberty Bell park, Madi- son avenue and Thirty eighth street, New York City, during the recent drive in the third liberty loan. The idea of the bell was worked out almost over night, and it was placed in the only vacant piece of ground in the business section.
 The bell stands 30 feet from the ground and is 30 feet across the base It is an exact duplicate of the real one, even to the great bolts and overhead beam. The problem was to make this giant reproduction ring out its notes to the assembled crowds. This was solved by the use of the rim of loco motive wheel. But it was a hard mat

FUEL LINE REPAIR

There are many convenient ways of making emergency repairs on the fuel line. wrapping with tire tape and vanishing being one of the best. When it is possible to make a more permanent repair. the pipe may be wrapped with fine copper wire, which should then be soldered over

BRAKE LINING HINT

The use of split rivets instead of the solid type, makes the operation of refining the brakes very much simpler The rivets are inserted so that the heads are against the metal bands The split end is opened out and sinks into the lining. A round steel bar in serted into the jaws of the wise makes an ideal tool for spreading the split rivets in place.

SAVING THE BOLT THREAD

In drilling hole through bolt, so as to make it possible to use a cotter pin, it frequently happens that the threads are injured, so that it is diff Z cult to put the nut on. This may be obviated by first running the nut well upon the bolt and then drilling the hole for the cotter pin. After the hole is made back the nut off and in pass ing over the place operated on, the nut will restore the thread. This applies also to saving or cutting off a bolt, which is likely similarly to iniure the threads.

--O--------- LUBRlCATING VALVE STEMS

The exhaust valve stems are ex- tremely likely to stick because of the formation of a gummy deposit that comes in this part. Gasolene or kero- sene are the only things that will help much in these circumstances. By in- serting a bit of copper tubing in at the next spark hole. a little gasolene may be squirted onto the valve stem. The gasoline runs down the stem and quickly loosens the gum so that the valve stem is free to move again.

EMERGENCY TIRE

Wrap a piece of one inch rope sev- eral times around the clincher rim, filling it and sticking out above the surface. Then wrap a piece of half inch rope around the rim crosswise and between each two spokes. This serves very well in an emergency, where no spare tire is available. It does not make luxurious riding and the car must be driven at moderate speed, but it saves the wheel and rim from damage.

PNEUMATIC TIRE
 INDUSTRY BEGAN
 AT BICYCLE RACE

One of the spectators at the first pneumatic- tired bicycle race was W. B. Harding head of the Indianapolis plant of the United States Tire com pany.
 The race took place at a track meet in Ireland in the late summer of 1889. Bicycle racing was popular in Great Britain at the time and at this par ticular meet the best wheelmen of the prominent clubs participated.
 Much interest and surprise were evidenced says Mir Harding, in little booklet giving the history of the pneumatic tire. when for one of the events of the day. Mir. DuCros and his two sons appeared on the track with bicycles equipped with what seemed to everybody at the time to be balloon tires, and a good deal of comment of a rather sarcastic nature was made regarding them.
 Justified Introduction
 "The tires justified their introduc- ton right from the start, however, as the DuCros' were placed first, second and third in every race in which they took part. They followed up their success on this track by further aston lSiAlllS III parts of the country. so quickly convincing the riding public of great Britain of the merits of the pneumatic tire, that before the end of 1890 every bicycle made was equipped with them.
 Although Robert W. Thompson was the first inventor of the pneumatic tire, so little use was made of his pat ent. that all credit for the introduce tion of the pneumatic tire in connec- ton with modern vehicles should be given to Dr. Dunlop. the Irish veterin- ary surgeon, who revived and revised the pneumatic tire. and who was granted a patent for his invention, which was later held invalid because of the priority of Thompson's claims. To this day the Dunlop tire is practi- cally the only one manufactured in | England and Messrs. DuCros control | it's destinies."
 Tire Industry Grows | With these tires as the first step | the tire industry took a quick leap | forward and soon this country led the world in quality and quantity of pro- | duction. The three American con- panies wnicn quickly gained dominasne were Morgan & Wright. the G. & J. Tire company, and the Hartford Rub- 1 Der Works company, which today are three of the great automobile tire pro- | ducing factories in the United States Tire company's system
