Profiteering Is
The Shame of
Entire Country

TT is simply a crying shame the
way material men are p~rohteering in
everything that enters into the con-
struction OF a home" said F. VIII, of
the Sitterding-Carneal-Davis COM
pany, yesterday. ] believe II would
he better if we were TO postpone for
awhile all building operations until
the mill men who charge double for
lumber what they did at the out
break Of the war, and others making
material entering into construction
come to their senses and realize that
1t is becoming impossible for the
average man to hope ever to have a
home Of his own.
This profiteering extends to every
line of business and affects the food
supply as well as the place where a
man hopes TO shelter his loved ones.
We can't correct the trouble in Rich
mond, but there should come at once
a combined fight against Unnecessary
profits, and a return to the days when
the average w~age-earner can count
for something In the worlds equa-
ton"

SALESMEN ELIMINATE
 LONG WATTS BETWEEN TRAINS THESE DAYS
Light Business Car Now Enables Them to Make
 Quick Trips from City to City at Big Cost Reduction

To eliminate expensive selling meth ods. many wholesale houses have equipped their sales forces with light delivery cars, with the result that their representatives have been able to triple the number of towns visited, carrying their samples with them.
 This growing practice bids fair to alleviate to a great extent the troubles of the travelling salesman. Isolated towns and once-a-d day railway trains have made many a salesman throw up his hands in disgust and desert his profession for fields less wearisOlIe and nerve -wrecking. Not only did such railway facilities tend to reduce the ranks of the travelling salesmrn, but they were responsible for an Il . creased selling cost of dry goods shoes, groceries, hardware hats and similar staples Using the railroads the salesman was able to make but one town day, where several hours were sufficient to call on the trade. The remaining hours were spent in en- forced idleness, with the result that weekly hotel bills and expense ac-
 
 But the developments of the motor car and particularly the light com mercial car, is rapidly doing away with these old fashioned methods of wholesale selling. An interesting sample of the successful use of sucn a car is that of B. A. Rives, a shoe sales- man in southeastern Alabama.
 In August, 1918, Mir. Rives bought a Dodge Brothers business car and abandoned the southern railroads as a means of covering his territory. Since that day the car has been in continual use carrying the salesman, driver and a bulky TOO pounds of samples. To the Dodge Brothers dealer from whom the car was purchased, Mir. Rives wro.e: VI find that I can make nearly three times as many towns in week as formerly could by railroad and the weekly expense is no greater The pulling qualities of our business car cannot be excelled, and the upkeep foI the time that 1 have had it has been too little to count. The pleasure oi not having to wait for trains would overbalance the entire expense of the car.

U. s. TIRE COMPANY TRUCKS ID START
 IN LONG JOURNEYS

Two remarkable motor trucks will leave Detroit in a few days, one going east and the other west, on tours ar ranged by the United Stats Tire com pany.
 These trucks were two of three old trucks which were the first vehicles ever equipped with big pneumatic truck tirs. They were all in the serv- ice of the Detroit factory of the United States Tire company when that com pany set out on it's epoch making eX- periments with the big pneumatic.
 The three trucks were equipped in 1911 with the first set of these tires ever manufactured, and they have run on pneumatics ever since.
 The United States Tire company has arranged for these tours for the double purpose of emphasizing it's priority in the manufacture of truck pneumatics, and also to show to motor truck own CTS that trucks equipped with pneu- matics have a long life.
 A subject for serious consideration by truck owners is that every one of the three trucks which were put on pneumatics way back in 1911 is still in good running order and capable of sturdy daily service. The design of the trucks is so aptiquated that they at tract immediate attention. Practically every other truck of their vintage has long since been scrapped, yet these trucks live on.
 The truck in the west will visit cit ies in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis consin and the Dakotas, while the east ern tour will embrace New York and cities to the south. Each old truck will be accompanied by a modern truck fitted up to show the latest innova- tions. Experts will accompany each pair to demonstrate the technical fea- ture of the big Hobby Cords

ARMY SUPPLY BASE
 BUILT QUICKLY BY
 B|C TRUCK FLEET
About 150 Pierce-Arrow Five-tonners Buck Condi-. tions Which Daunted# Other Makes

Pierce Arrow trucks which aided in the construction of the big army supply base at Port Newark N. J. won an enviable reputation. The fleet em- ployed on the task served as the back bone of the transportation system re- lied upon for the speedy erection of nine huge warehouses and two sheds. It was d notable engineering feat be cause an immense "filr' had to be made quickly.
 The trucks faced unprecedented ob stacles," said the local Pierce-Arrow dealer "Marshy, swampy ground had to be traversed. Roads did not exist. The muddy conditions presented an almost unsurmountable obstacle to truck operation"
 Construction began in September. 191S Four months later the nine ware houses and two sheds, each 1150 feet ! long by 160 feet wide, had been conn pletcd. About 10000 men were em ployed
 indicative of the performance of the Pierce Arrow fleet, may be cited the statement of W. J. Backfish, who had supervision of the entire transportation | forces. He says:
 A fleet of about 200 trucks was em- ployed to handle the 12.O00 carloads of material used. Most of the we'll i known makes of trucks were employed at first. Many of these makes soon welC not represented at all due to theil failure to give continuous service; some were discharged and others were with drawn by their owners because they could rot find profit in maintaining them and operating them at our es- | tablished rate
