Pneumatic tired trucks, desig
mated to meet the demand for
greater speed and wider range in
truck transportation, are announced
by the Packard Motor Car company
for 1920 production. These new
modes are the first pneumatic tire
trucks to be manufactured by the
Packard company, and are distinct
in design from the solid tire truck
models.
The trucks are built in three diff
ferent sizes, giving a large range
in capacity. The fact that they are
specifically designed for pneumatic
tires is a long step in the applica-
ton of the motor vehicle work,
according to F. ]. Bury. freight
transportation manager, Packard
Omaha company.
THE efforts to make pneumatic
tire trucks by simply changing tire
equipment has proved a failure" he

said. "The pneumatic, tire when put
on a wheel intended for a solid tire
gives much larger wheel diameter,
increasing the gear ratios heavily.
The consequence is rapid engine
deterioration because the engine is
iaboring constantly. The problem
mas been one of design rather than
one of adaptation. We have
answered it by a new model which
is built for the work it is to do"
Early in November one of these
new trucks made what is regarded
as a new road speed record for
motor trucks. 1t made the run be-
tween Bay City and Detroit, a dis
tance of l20 miles, in five hours and
3 minutes, an average of 20.6 miles
an hour. One half of the distance
was travelled over roads wet by re-
cent rains. The truck was packed
to its capacity of three tons. 1t was
equipped with 3Sx7 Goodyear Cord
tiers in front, and 40xl0 rear.

new NASH FOUR
WILL APPEAR At
n. Y. AUTO SHOW
Car to Be Built In Guam.
titles as Soon as New
Milwaukee Plant Is
Completed.

The curtain is to be raised on the
Nash four at the New York Auto
mobile Show. Announcement has
been made by the Nash Motors COM
pany that the four-cylinder car,
which has created so much interest
throughout the country, is to be
shown to the public at the national
shows.
Except that the new product Of
the Nash Motors company is a
four-cylinder car and that it is to be
built in quantities, no details in ad-
vance of the actual showing of the
car are forthcoming. However,
when the public is permitted to view
the latest addition to the Nash FAM
lily, it is predicted by those in a
position to know, that interest will
be keen. In fact, it is declared that
the exhibition of the Nash four will
be one of the outstanding features
OF this years national show.
While details at this time are
lacking it is known that the con-
struction of the new four-cylinder
Nash is in keeping with the stand
ard maintained by the Nash motors
organization. Mr.. Nash, himself,
and the engineering department of
the Nash = ors company are sat-
ished that the new car will make
fit companion to the Nash six, which
has earned for itself so favorable
reputation in the hands Of owners
throughout the country.
With the completion of buildings
and the installation of machinery in
the new Milwaukee plant now being
built, production of the new Nash
four will begin. 1t is likely because
of the headway that has been made
in the building of the factory, that
cars will be in the hands of dealers
some time in the late summer.

new flock Of business undesirab bles
who nave settled along the thorough
fare between Twenty third and Thir-
tieth streets, and whose methods are
more than questionable" The "unde-
sirables," known as "fy-by-nights,"
occupy space leased on a day to day
basis. Their wares are varied and
the quality is uncertain and may prove
trap for the unwary visitors, it Is
said.
"The Avenue" warns against these
"squatters," saying that "their leases
have been made directly by the own
ers Of the propertics' and that mo
real estate agent had anything to do
directly with the leases" The asso-
citation appealed to the property own
ers not to rent space to the "squat-
ters,' but the appeals were not an
swcred. The association maintains
that, while II Is Impossible to blame
property owner whose property is
vacant for leasing space to squat
ters," eny temporary profit is poor
compensation for tho ultimate deprcci-
alton In tho value Of the property
cauged by the presence OF the "squat-
tcro." The Fifth Avenue Association
has appealed 10 all business men and
property owners above Twenty-thrd
Street TO cooperate IN this matter, on
