Six weeks In the East was
enough for III. Nj. Miller. secretary
and treasurer OF the Seattle Auto
mobile Company. who returned with
his wife and daughter last week
after n trip that took him to a
greater part OF the Eastern oentcrs.
Leaving Seattle on tho 23d OF
August. MIR. Miller went direct TO
Cleveland. whore he secured a
Chandler touring car ut the Chan
dler factory. and drove TO his old
home In Pittsburg. which lac left in
1907 TO make his home In Seattle.

try. a paved boulevard 300 miles

over the Cumberland mountains and
Chestnut Ridge, past many OF the
historical spots OF Civii War days
and thru region OF beautiful
farms and country estates.
Mr.. Miller and his party arrived
in Washington Just day too late
for the Pershing parade. but saw
the decorations and the boys who
formed Pershing's bodyguard. From
Washington the course led back to
Cleveland. where the Chandler and
Cleveland factories were visited at
length. The Chandler plant was
found 10 be working at fun capac-
lily. and the Cleveland factory 10 be
fully completed and production grad
ually getting at the peak load.
One OF the Incidents Of the trip
that excited comment all along the
route was the fact that Mr.. Miller
used n Washington Dealers license
on tho Chandler and he was con-
stantly asked 10 explain what "wn.
30" stood for. This Is the first
license plato OF this character that
has toured the East. and brings a
new record TO the Seattle Automo-
bile company.
In every part of the East the
eyes OF tho people are on Seattle,
and many families are planning to
make the long jump westward to
establish their homes where the
billiards. rage not. according to Mr..
Miller. Living conditions and prices
are as high In the East ms here.
and In some cases much higher.

PULL NOVEL STUNT

Something new in the annals OF
truck drivcaways was undertaken
last week by a host OF GMC dealers
from Hooper. Neb.. when six drivers
started with ~ GMC trucks overland
from the GMC factory at Pontiac.
Truck driveaways are, by no
means, new method of transpor-
tation for GMC dealers. and while
one driver has often piloted two GMC
trucks by mounting one Of the
smaller units upon some larger
model. in this instance six of the
trucks were of n like capacity. max
ing II impossible TO use the old meth.
cd OF one truck carrying the other.
So n rather novel plan was originated
to handle this situation.
Tho front wheels were removed
from three Of the trucks and the
front axle was placed on wooden
stringers Mt the rear of another
model OF the same type and weight.
The rear wheels of one model rested
on the ground and the front was fas-
tened to the rear axle of the other
truck with n swivel. so that IL could
turn. This virtually made a two
wheel trailer out OF the rear truck.
The long journey 10 Hooper was
made I'm six days actual running
time without n mishap TO any of the
trucks. Anthony Tonberg, GMC
dealer at Hooper. upon arriving at
his destination, wired the factory as
follows: Arrived here this morning
in excellent shape. Could easily have
made the trip in day or two less
by hard driving. Tho motors acted
wonderfully well and we did not have
the slightest bit OF trouble. Our new
method of truck transportation can
be used without the slightest doubt
of results"
