recorders SHOW
SUCCESS OF FIRM

1t is when the recorders come in
from great business concerns that a
manufacturer of motor trucks today
realizes that his efforts to put before
the world a good truck have been
successful to the limit of his fondest
dreams.
William Fulton Melhuish, president
Of the Fulton Motor Truck Company,
said recently when he met q party Of
business acquaintances and friends
on q railway train bound west: 'The
Fulton Company is a fortunate con-
Germ. say that for the reason that
much of the business Of the COM
pany today comes from customers
who have long used the Fulton
truck 1t is, to my mind, commenda-
ton OF the highest class for a manu-
featured article to have customers
order again and again. On the books
of the company will be found cases
where leading business concerns with
large fleets of trucks have placed
orders four, hye, and even more
times. and OF late we have had ad-
vice from several that they had dis
posing OF other trucks and standardiz-

During my many years Of selling
trucks for others including one
company for which placed almost
500 distributors and dealers, dream

a truck of my own and gain the
honors that come to him who makes

cause for general rejoicing. or was

rather than the unusual thing with
US. For the books OF the Fulton
Company show today so many cases
Of this sort that we do not pay as
much attention to individual in

so many years ago when a small
shipment of trucks caused interest all
through our plant, the day came when
a recorder caused just as much inter

TERDOESN
DAMAGE CAR TIRES

Now and then in the course Of an
automombile trip a car has to pass
through a stream, and the question
is sometimes discussed whether the
action of the water is harmful to the
tires. The same question arises when
a car is out In q heavy rain.
The United States Tire Company
answers the question by stating that
the effect of such wetting is practi-
cally nothing at all, either for dam
age or Improvement. At any rate
the effect on the tire is not harmful.
The two chief constituents Of a tire
are rubber and cotton, both vegeta-
bic substances, and as q rule water
does not injure vegetable matter. As
illustration of this point, there is the
old but true story of the farmer who.
when one Of his rubber boots fell
into a well. placed the other on q
shelf in a closet. Twelve years later
when the well was cleaned the lost
boot was found to be in excellent
condition, but the boot on the shelf
had fallen into ruin

suited in cooling a tire. the effect
would be decidedly beneficial. but q
quick dash through the water has
little effect on the heated air with
in the tire and consequently the tenn

SAYS EUROPE MUST
LIFT CAR EMBARGO

There is a strong demand for motor
cars In Europe which cannot be sat
isfied unless the embargoes over
there are raised TO permit American
cars to enter, according to c. G
Hanch. secretary of the National Au-
tomobfle Chamber of Commerce, who
has just returned from a four months
investigating trip in European coun-
tries.
.sTns war proved the efficiency OF
the motor car and motor truck TO

tental market for utility cars and
trucks, especially for cars, exists in
Europe. This is evidenced by the
strong demand over there now.
where secondhand cars are selling
at sometimes twice the figure paid
for Item when new four or five years
ago.
England has permitted imports of
so per cent of sig OF the 1913 i'm
portations. but France and Italy have
taken no action. Mr.. Hanch feels that
the countries over there can take ali
the cars which the home firms can
produce and all of the American We
bicIes. which are available above do
nestle requirements.
Foreign Factories Expanded.
expansion OF the foreign factories as
a result OF war needs. Many Of them
will be able to produce more motor
cars than heretofore. / cannot say
that they will soon be very strong
competitors Of the American product,
because their factories are not de-
signed nor are their people trained
for producing in what we call mass
production
'sThe demand for motor cars. now
ever, IL so great that not alone all
the European product can be sold,
but in addition many American cars
provided the embargoes are raised
which will permit their importation.
"The importers OF American cars
abroad have made strong pleas for
the raising OF the embargoes now
that the war is over. Il is worth
noticing that there is only one car
for every 400 people in France, one
for every 225 in England. while there
is one for every eighteen in this coun-
try.
FOREIGN Labor At Crisis.

a great deal in doubt The influence
OF all kinds Of labor unions has in
creased, but I feel that the thinking
minds OF Europe Will ultimately
bring about a solution Of the differ
ence of opinion between labor and
capital
'.The exports Of American motor
car manufacturers are at the rate Of
about s125, 1000. 900 a year, which is
about 10 per cent OF their total busi-
ness. II Is felt that the Increasing
recognition Of the worth OF our pro-
duet will shortly bring a material in
crease. Last year we shipped to
eighty-two different countries, in
Guiding twenty cars and three trucks
to Iceland.

MOTOR USES BOLTS
OF ONLY TWO SIZES

Though il is generally conceded to-
day that Europe is behind the United
States in motor car design a Scotch
firm has come out with q distinct ad-
vance over anything heretofore pro-
duced in the way of interchangeability
OF parts. This is all the more re-
markable when it is remembered that
European designers have the reputa-
ton Of caring nothing for accessibility
so long as skilled labor is plentiful
and cheap. 1t is a trifle remarkable,
therefore, that il was not in this
country, where labor conditions have
always been quite the reverse, that
this latest step in the direction of the
ultimate car was not made.
The car is made at Dumfries, Scot
land 1t is frankly a copy Of Ameri-
can design, with numerous features
new to British practice. The most
interesting feature, however, is that
only two sizes OF ball bearings and
only two sizes OF bolts and nuts are
used throughout the engine and
chassis.
Until recently the question OF sizes
OF bolts was given little serious
thought. each designer selecting ap-
propriate sizes without reference to
sizes used in other portions of the
car. Usually a slightly larger size
could be substituted without sacrifice
Of lightness or room. Some makers
even adopted freak sizes and threads
purposely to force users to buy re-
pair parts Of them.
That progress mas been made must
be admitted, and the credit should
be given to the Society of Automotive
Engineers. whose standards have
been so extensively adopted by Amer
lean builders. Credit is also due the
magnetic makers, who were first in
pioneering this sensible sort Of sim
plicity. Older types Of instruments
usually had one or two sizes of cap
screws or nuts, for which q wrecch
was supplied with each instrument.
Today the usual magnetic wrench fits
virtually every important part OF the
usual magnetic.

FIFTH AVENUE BUS
HAD PARLOUSL LIFE

Fifth avenue belongs not only to
New York city but to the entire
United States.
The story is told that in the early
days of the millionaire exclusive
ness" of this famous boulevard, all
public vehiculsr traffic was forbid
den and stringent restrictions in
property leases did everything posi-
BILE to keep the public away from the
quiet avenue of homes. 1t was a
great concession. made only after
many years of discussion, that one
passenger-carrying omnibus system
was permitted. so that the rich mans
servants might go 10 and from
church.
These omnibuses were permitted to
run only a very limited distance.
from Washington Square TO Central
Park, during certain restricted hours.
and under no other circumstances.
Nor was any other omnibus line ever
to be permitted to intrude. Trades
mems vehicles could not use Fifth
avenue after 10 o'clock in the morn
ing
This was the Fifth avenue of 1895
when the Fifth Avenue Transporta-
ton Company. Ltd, became bankrupt
and it's entire stock was sold for
S10,500, to Ward Campbell, who be-
came one of the incorporators and
directors OF the new company, and
transferred all his right for $4,000
in cash and shares to the Fifth Ave-
nue. Coach Company, now running all
the Fifth avenue buses. Today this
company is one OF the biggest divi-
dend-paying organizations in exist
ence anywhere; that is. for those orig
inal stockholders who were given
shares in the new company. It's as
sets now amount to nearly $4,000 600,
and its revenue for the year totals a
like amount
The company commenced to grow
and be successful from the moment
