The Importance Of New York as the
centre for the first display of new mod
els was emphasized last week when the
e. 8. Partridge Company, Inc, at 1925
Broadway was picked by the Liberty
Motor Car Company as the one distri-
buting headquarters in the country for
the display this month of the new Lib
erty Six closed models. The Sedan and
coupe are being featured in the display
now being made in the Partridge sales
com.
New York is the biggest market for
Liberty cars, and New Workers. are the
most critical buyers OF closed cars. AL
ways having specialized in closed mod
e's, the Liberty company this year was
determined to get the new cars to New
York at the earliest moment, and the
result is this early display of two ex-
ceptional models. SO swiftly did the
company work to make possible this
New York First display that the cars
actually left the factory in Detroit be-
fore some of the Office staff had eeen
them in a finished condition.
One of the most important features
of the new models Is that they are better
all around cars than those turned out a
year ago, and yet the price is lower.
All the unusual refinements in the cars
of last year are to be found in the new
models, and to these have been added
many little changes that wild appeal TO

MOTOR TRANSPORT
FOE TO H. G. OF L.
Trucks Save Waste Of Farm
Products, Says Federal
Vice-President.

The steadily mounting cost Of living,
which. despite the cessation of the war
several months ago, still reveals an up
ward tendency which many experts be-
lieve will be permanent, will eventually
be solved to the b=nefiting of all, by
motor transport, according to Martin L.
Pulcher. vice-president and general man
ager OF the Federal Motor Truck Com
plny.
The farmer has Just experienced a
period OF comparative prosperity" he
says He Is never going to return to
the old days and the old ways. His
mode of living Is on a higher plane
his costs have gone up with everyone
else's. The consumer must pay for cost
| and a living proht-and most consumers
| are willing to pay unless the first profits
| be unrea sonable or the big wastage
chars ed to them.
There Is however a way to save
waste and loss. That is direct market
Ing. Marketing conditions for food
| products of farmers must be bettered
The marketing OF farm products has for
years been handled through middlemen
whose profits have far exceeded those
of the farmer. although the time and
EFFORT put forth by the middleman are
not to be compared to the labor and
time of the farmer
ut Is a case OF getting together-not
only OF shortening the miles to market
| by building good roads and manufactur-
! ing motor trucNe to travel over these
roads with big loads of produce, al
| though these are very important factors
| but the farmer and the market must
be brought together with all the big
profit making agencies between the two
as far as possible eliminated.
Such a plan has been worked out
with great success at Adrian, Michigan
The Adrian Chamber of Commerce has
organized the Community market with
a manager in charge. All produce, from
pop corn to pigs, is purchased ana the
farmer receives a price slightly lower
than the Detroit market price,"
