Motor Cars in Big Demand;

not be adequately met" says u. c.
Ensminger, bort distributor.
"Our information from the bort
factory is to the effect that trans
portation facilities offered to any
section of the country whatever, are
joyfully accepted, so great is the
demand for automobiles from every.
direction.
Therefore, if at times it becomes
impossible to get ears to certain
localities, due to embargoes or short
age of railroad equipment, there
are dealers in other parts anxious
to take all that the factories can
get to them.
From here we are able TO give
the factory the same sort of report
that comes to them from elsewhere.
If they will only give us cars, we
will do the rest. There are usually
three ready buyers for every car
shipped to us. e

IMPROVE ROADS
ASWAR MEASURE
Duplex President Gives Rea-
sons Why Highways Should
Be in Better Condition

Construction of pavements in cit
les and improved highways in coun-
ties throughout the United States
will aid greatly in winning the war.
and every public-minded, patriotic
citizen should encourage road-build-
ing-insist that the connecting links
between towns and cities be brought
UP to the highest state of perfec-
ton"
So stated H. NJ. Lee, president of
the Duplex Truck Company. of Ian
sing. while discussing the impor-
tance of domestic transportation and
its relationship to the war.
Upon transportation rests the ma
ior burden of war preparations and
military maintenance" continued
Mr.. Lee. Il understand that approx
imately fifty per cent. of present
freight traffic is now directly con-
rected with war maintenance, and
ithin the coming year il is expect
ed that the total will reach seventy
five per cent.
We must relieve the railroads of
their transportation burden. Many
of our citizens do not realize that IL
the war is not terminated within a
year virtually every private shipper
will be barred from transporting
freight by railroad.
The only efficient. economical sub
stitutc for the locomotive and freight
car is the motortruck. The motor
truck has demonstrated its practica-
bility for overland haulage work on
q basis of time and economy. Thou
sands and thousands OF tons of
freight have been shipped overland
by motortruck during the past
twelve months. and during the ensu-
ing year the total will go into the
millions.
The efficiency and the annual op-
Grating expense of the motortruck
for overland haulage work vary di-
rectly with the trackway over which
II operates. Thus it is readily ap-
parent that the construction of good
roads will aid wonderfully-in fact,
make possible the overland transpor-
teton of freight.
Millions of dollars have been eX-
pended for improved highways in the
United states. and millions more have
been appropriated for this work in
1918. 1t is stated the total of state
funds for oad-building during the
ensuing year will reach $50, 600.
Compared with expenditures a few
wears ago, these are huge sums, but
really startlingly small when we
consider that there are 100000 miles
CT road in the country of which less
than S00,0O are improved with some
form of hard surface.
state officials. city officials. coun-
Is officials-businessm and farm
er-every one is vitality interested in
this question, because we will be de-
pendent almost exclusively upon
roads and motortrucks for the trans
pCrtation of essentials and necessi-
ties before the year is over. And
our patriotic citizens should do all in
their power, individually and collec-
lively. to secure increased eXpendi-
tures for improved highways in 1918.
Upon our highways will largely rest
the supply of food products, and the
cost Of living will be directly affect
ed by the condition of our roads.

the Quartermaster's Department,
from Paris or division headquarters
to the various Y. NJ. c. A. huts in
the lines.
Discussing the qualifications re-
quired of drivers, Mr.. Wilson said
yesterday:
Let it be understood that we
can not sa that n man will do moth
ing but driving If he goes to France.
He will find himself doing whatever
piece OF work the emergency neces-
states. But the man who goes as
a driver will for the most part drive
and take care of his own car or
truck.
HE will not be asked to do any
repair work if he has not had any
experience which Will enable him to
do it, but a man who goes as either
mechanic or driver must go with the
Willingness to do the job well no
matter what the job is, as far as he
can.
Businessmen Are Needed
I'VE want men OF more than or
binary intelligence preferably busi-
nessmen who are patriotic and who
have owned ana driven their own
cars for a number of years They
will go as drivers for the trucks that
carry supplies. Drivers should be
able to make minor repairs and
should thoroughly understand the
Cling and greasing and daily main
tenance necessary in driving a truck
or car.

Price Changes in Autos
Breaks Certain Competition

one of the most noted develop
ments in the automobile field in re-
cent months has Leen the shifting of
prices not only in their upward climb
but in their relation TO one another
As a result groups of cars that were
competitive with each other, because
Of similarity in price. have been
broken up.
"A few months ago. Says James
NJ. Dunlap. sales manager OF the
Chandler Motor Car Company of
Cleveland every Chandler dealer
mad come to look upon a certain
few cars as his competitors in the
sense that a large number of people
having decided upon spending ap-
proximately a certain price for a
car. would naturally examine or
consider two or three cars Mt about
that same price"
THE car buyers have not changed
but motor car prices have and so
the buyer who starts out to spend
about $1,000 for a car finds that
while he can still buy the Chandler
at that price, several cars that used
to sell at about the same price are
now 5000 to $500 higher. And if he
examines the other cars selling
around the Chandler price he finds
that they are all cars that recently
sold for much less than Chandler.
This all sums up in the state
ment that by being able to maintain
the same price that mas been in
effect for six months or more the
Chandler has gained a more stra-
tegic position with respect to cars
formerly in it's price class.
IF the Chandler were y car loss
well known or produced in small
quantities this strategic advantage
would not be so important but with
Il well known car it is tremendous
advantage and one which we count
on tc make the coming season an
extremely good season for the Chan
dler Six"
