NEW YORK HOTELS
USE MOTOR TRUCKS

Progress made in the construction
of the hotels Of New York is one OF
the marveIs Of the century. il is a
far cry from the old Fraunce's Tav-
ern of 100 Years ago to the new Penn
syIvania and Commodore hotels.
The officials OF the West India
Company when they visited New
Netherland in 1912 found in the col
ony the first inn built in the New
World for the accommodation OF trav-
eIers. It was Of substantial eOnstruc-
ton. being OF brick and stone with
enormous beams of oak TO support the
floors. Later. when the town was in
corporated as a city. the ina was con-
verted into the city hall.
The era Of magnificence and display
that New York is now witnessing Is
nowhere more pronounced shan in the

MUSTBUILDROADS
TOMEET TRAFFIC

The great development Of highway
transportation during the war has
focused attention upon a problem that
has long confronted road builders and
users. and that must be solved before
it will be possible to get. the maxi
mum service from our roads, according
to an editorial in Good Roads" That
problem is the adjustment Of loads
and roads-the notifications that
must be made in the practice of high
way construction and the restrictions
that must be put upon the vehicles
that use the roads.
At the outset il is necessary to
have clearly in mind the truth that
the road Is only factor in trans
portation, and that in itself il is of
no value and serves no useful pur-
pose. 1t is exactly analogous to a
railroad track. It is a means TO an
end, that end being transportation,
and it is complete OILY when it is
combined with a vehicle.
There are two almost diametricalIy
opposed views as to the solution of

OF many OF New York's hotels, and
has been able to keep up their stand

motor trucks. Federal trgcks have
been used by this company and their

Recently q Federal was delivered

proved a big help and has added
much to the service received BY pa
irons of these great hotels.

York's most noted hotels. Its location

tions worthy of the best. The Neal
pine has been served By Federal
trucks for years.
The old hotels from the Battery 70
Fourteenth street have disappeared
possibly all with the one exception Of
the Broadway Central. The new ana

replaced their famous, n rot 50 pre-

CLOTHES WRINGERS
.THEIR FIRST EFFORT

From clothes wringers to touring
cars is the history of the Peerless
Motor Car Company" said L. y.
.Eittredze. A long way TO have
come. it seems, does il not? The
nucleus Of this concern was the Peer
less wringer Company. organized in
1859. and entirely devoted to the max
ms Of clothes wringers.
Then with the advent Of the bicycle
business, and the enormous vogue OF
the bicycle, in 1889 the name was
changed to the Peerless Wringer and
Manufacturing Company. In 1888 the
naFne was changed again to the Peer
has Manufacturing Company and de-
soted itself entirely to bicycles.
, In 1900 the Peerless organization
hegan working at the manufacture
of automobiles. and in 1902 closed out
ne wringer and bicycle business en-
EreIy and began making automobiles
kzclusively, changing at that time to

tkme to this concern in 1897 and has
been with il continuously ever since.
y "The wonderful thing about the
Sutomobile business" said Mr.. Kit
sredge. has been its rapid growth.
those early days I believed it
s Guild become a great business, but
2 could not possibly have foreseen
as il would reach the point it has
aeu., when there are some six mil
E1I cars in the United States. The
&asOmobile business is one that keeps
person awake because Of rapid
Es-anges and much competition.
Our factory consists Of thirty
3iree buildings, representing four
Eeen acres of floor space, and twenty
Ecres Of land on the Nickel Plate and
salt Line. Our force has varied from

must be built to suit the traffic, with
no limit upon the latter. The other
is that the traffic must be scaled

point where the burden can be me.
with a minimum Of change in present
construction methods and a very
slight increase in the present cost
OF construction and maintenance.
or these two conflicting theories
the first is the more nearly correct
for il squares with the principles OF
progress. The events of the past
decade have demonstrated beyond
possibility or doubt the feasibility of
the motor truck as a carrier
In considering the two viewpoints
it should always be borne In mind
that it is not the road builders or
the truck makers whose interests
must finally determine the solution.
1t is the public which ships the goods
and pays the freight.
The proposal to restrict loads to
the capacity OF the present roads
or roads only a little better-is
wholly, untenable. for'it would mean
the halting of a development that
promises much in the material pros
perity of the nation.
The obvious solution OF the prob
lem is a compromise between these
two extreme courses Of action. Il
Will be necessary to build the roads

indicated that over so per cent Of auto

The next great fact, gained at a
