TRUCK BUYERS MUST
SELECT CAREFULLY

You cannot get more out Of truck

Charles II. Pardoe. manager of the
General Auto Truck Co.. local dis
tributor Of the made-in-Chicago Mas
ter trucks. ITO the unseasoned truck
buyer, that is, the man who is max
ing his first selection, the choice is
largely the reflection OF some ones
mind; he must depend upon what
statesmen. or users whom he knows
tells him.
There is a method. however. by
which the truck buyer can choose in
telligently for himself. His neighbor
may use a certain type OF truck which
is not adaptable to this particular
buyers needs, so IL a truck is pur-
chased on the recommendation of the
neighbor 1t later may be found lack
ing in some qualities required.
"If the prospective buyers OF Il
truck will bring together the specifica-
tions of all trucks in each capacity
class. either by procuring literature or
through the medium of the automo-
tive trade journals most of which car
ry truck specifications at regular in
tervals, he can compare one model
with the other and thus visualize the
possibilities of all trucks"

GET BIG RESPONSE

The response to the Goodrich

unusual and far-reaching according
to W. o. Rutherford. stcond vice
president of The B. F. Goodrich

- Commenting on reasons why the
adjustment on Safety Treads was
placed at 5000 and Silyertowns or

Goodrich is making the burIiaz,

rubber industry has ever seen and
Goodrich knows 1t.

belief Goodrich desires that all tire
users share in the confidence of

Goodrich tires assure.
Therefore. Goodrich announced
10 dealers and uses-becausc of the
future owners of its pneumatic
tires-an adjustment basis of 5000
miles on Safety Treads, 5000 miles
on Silvertown cords. instead of
$500 and 5000 respectively, here
tofore in force.
In every case the Goodrich ad-
justment is a fair one and Good
rich knows the mileage is in its
tires and more, and to make YOU
realize you lose money in being
without Goodrich tires, the new
Goodrich announcement is pro-
claimed far and wide. through
newspapers.
In all the history of the Good

of our newspaper advertising we
have never had such a spontaneous
response showing the confidence
that both Goodrich dealers and car
owners nave in The B. F. Goodrich

which our company has always

PUBLIC WILL TRAVEL
BY AUTO THIS YEAR

There will be more automobiles
used this year for vacation travelling
than any other means OF transporta-
tion,' predicts E. ]. Quinn, of the E.
J. Quinn Motor Co. "I draw this con-
clusion from the remarks of visitors
to our salesroom as well as prospec-
tive and actual buyers. In many in
stances, when we state we will do
the best We can in the matter of de-
livery. they are after US continually to
hurry up, as they want their cars n
time for vacation.
There are many reasons for this
increased use of the automobile for
summer touring this year. the princi-
pal one being that during the last two
years everybody felt that they should
not take time from their activities
that their country needed their serv-
ices every minute, and that they could
well afford to continue their work
counting on taking a good vacation
when victory had been achieved.
Another reason is that of the high
cost Of other modes OF transportat ton.
High travelling rates have made It
prohibitive In a good many cases,
while in others people preferred to in
vest the increase in the purchase OF
anautomobile. knowing that they
could go as far as the limit of their
pocketbooks permitted, travelling in
comfort, not having to stick to any
definite schedule. and going where
they pleased.
Still another reason is an increased
interest in outdoor life. We, as a ma
tion. during the last "a months. have
had brought home to US the necessity
Of plenty OF fresh air to keep us Mt
This has in turn created a desire to

THE COMMERCIAL
AIR AGE IS HERE

Always on the lookout for new and
progressive automotive activities. L
recently witnessed the signing Of the
first commercial aviation contract be-
tween Mr.. Julius NJ. Meirick. the first
man in America to make commercial
aviation a profession. Mr.. Chester \.
Brown of L. S. Piaut and Co.. the
largest department store in Newark,
Il. J.. and Mr.. Paul witteman of the
witteman-Lewis Aircraft Corporation.
Through the instrumentality Of Mr..
Meirick. the PIaut Co. arranged for
an aerial delivery system from their
Newark store to the Jersey summer
resorts on the Atlantic coast. They
are the first business house m the
world to actually employ the airpIane
for strictly utilitarian purposes. the
delivery of merchandise from store
to-customer.
The planes used have special ar
rangements and facilities for carry
ing parcels. In the fore cockpit, is
ample space for about 500 pounds OF
merchandise. safely slowed and pro-
tected from the elements. Trips are
made on regular schedule every week.
Two airplanes and four pilots are al
ways available
They also carry air mail from
Newark to Asbury Park. 1t is the
first private business enterprise to
carry mail by air. This clearly
shows the Postofice Departments
willingness to cooperate with COM
mercial houses in the endeavor to
encourage public interest in aero
nautics.
These people are contemplating
using a "blimp." or Hghter-than-aIr
machine for carrying larger cargoes
longer distances. as soon as these
are commercially available.
All the airplanes will be magneto-
equipped. A letter on this sabject
stated: In our experience with auto
deliveries by road, we learned the
dependability and get-thereative-
ness of magnetic ignition. and have
specified that every plane used in
our aerial delivery work shall be
magneto-equipped. As both life and
property are at stake we cannot
AFFORD to miss any precaution. and
our faith in the magnetic is all
prevailing"
Business houses are keeping up
with the worlds progress. Distance
is mastered. Family needs are sup
piled from store 100 miles away in
as many minutes. Merely a phone
message and presto. tits here like

Before long others will do like

upon work for the children, known as
the Modern Health Crusade" 4
representative of the state association
has cOoperated directly with the
county superintendent of schools and
has succeeded in introducing the
movement throughout the district
The children have responded enthus-
iastical!y to the invitation to become
"crusadcrs" in this great cause They
have gladly pledged themselves to
the performance of health chores
which are teaching them that clean
hands, clean teeth and clean habits
bring delightful physical reaction as
well as a superior feeling Of self
rig iehteousness. The movement is
spreading not only through the state
but oyer the entire country.
A public health nurse from the
state health association will cooperate
in a bread community survey of Boul-
der county which is to be undertaken
next year under the direction Of DR..
Loran d. Osborn professor Of sociol-
ogy at the State University according
to present plans. A study Of health
and housing conditions with prac-
teal demonstration of the need of such
work is expected to result in the es-
tablishment of tuberculosis clinic
in Boulder County similar to the one
now operating at Colorado Springs.
An effort will also be made to intro
duce course at Boulder on public
health nursing which will provide COM
retent public health nurses for such
work as the Colorado association is
planning.

PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION
PLANNING LARGE CAMPAIGN

The Colorado Public Health Asso-
citation is planning a statewide health
educational campaign which will reach
to the most remote corners Of Colorado
in 1920. With the cooperation of ex-
isting social agencies, fight direct
ed primarily against tuberculosis has
been undertaken. Investigation has
shown that the war is responsible for
an increase in tuberculosis and the
need for educational and preventative
work is greater than ever.
Four counties, Boulder, Denver, Ell
Paso and Pueblo, already have taken
mp the work with excellent results.
Branches of the state organization are
teaching the people that conservation
Of the states physical resources is
even more important than conserva-
ton of food which helped to win the
war. tuberculosis clinics, public
health nurses and travelling dispen-
sares; extensive educational work and
a BROAD campaign among the children
of Colorado to popularize the tooth
brush, the bath-tub and fresh air, are
Included in the program
For the past year branch of the
Colorado Public Health Association
has been operating in Ell Paso County
with marked success. Through CO.
ororation with the Visiting Nurses
Association. the Associated Charities
and the American Red Cross, a tuber
culosis clinic has been established at
Colorado Springs with splendid re-
suits. This work has proved so valu-
able that it will be extended next

In Pueblo County, special emphasis
has been laid during the past year.

ested in the work of the association.
An effort will be made not only to b.
.erest pupils of the institutions but
also to introduce health ideas in rural
communities through government
home demonstrators who are working
under DR.. Lory's direction.
Sections of the state which have
not yet been organized for active work
"il be reached in the campaign BY
public health nurses who will 20 into
the various communities to search out
and report needy cases of tubercu-
losis. Two travelling dispensaries in
charge of competent physicians will
follow up these cases and it is be-
lieved that the results of the COM
bined work of doctors and nurses win
arouse sufficient interest in the COM
munities to create demand for
local organization to "carry on"
