CITE AUTO FIRM AS UNFAIR
IN USE OF CATCH FIRM NAME

Setting forth that the trade name,
Good Wear Tire and Tube Company"
so closely resembles and stimulates
the ously-established trade-name,
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
as to mislead the public and to result
In confusion and embarrassment to
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Akron, Ohio. the Federal Trade
Commission has issued a formal COM
plaint of unfair competition against
Leo Cohen and B. Counselbaum, Chi
cago, manufacturers Of rebuilt auto
mobile tires.
The complaint further sets forth
that Cohen and Counseltaum, using
the trade-name, Good Wear" adopt
ed in their advertisements "a style
and general scheme of the advertise
ments extensively used by the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company for
many years." with the effect of "se-
curing to themselves the benefit and
advantage of extensive advertising,
previously done by the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company"
Cohen and Counselbaum, who are
also charged with so wording adver-
tisements of their remade used tires
as TO lead the purchasing public to
believe that they are new and unused
tires, were directed to file an answer
with the commission at Washington

BOAT is DESIGNED TO
TRANSPORT MOTOR CARS

BUFFALO, N. Y. Oct. 25.-Con-
struction OF a vessel to be used ex-
clusively to transport motor cars is
planned by the Detroit and Cleveland
Navigation Company. Frank E.
Kirby, marine architect, has been en-
gagged to design the steamer, which
will be an oil burner. The boat will
be equipped with elevators to facili-
tate loading on the upper decks and
in the hold and will be ready for her
first run in 1921.
The ID. c. company announces
that so many tourists are now ship
ping their cars by boat between lake
ports that passenger steamers have
been forced to accept new cars for
shipment East. The construction of
the steamer will make Buffalo the
largest interchange point in the East,
II is believed, as the vessel will pIy
between Detroit and Buffalo on her
regular run.

Of transportation from farm to mar

mates. United States Department of
Agriculture, in its weekly truck crop
report dated September IL. And the
report adds: 1.-The truck does it,"
Adequate and efficient transporta-
tion facilities are and will be the
most important factor in producing
prosperity in this country" Secretary
Of War Baker is quoted as saying in
connection with the army's first con-
voy OF motor trucks to make a trans
continental trip. The convoy was
sent from coast to coast with a mis-
sion that included demonstrating the
practicability of the motor truck as
freight hauler and arousing inter
est in good roads.

good results" says the Kansas CITY
Star in a recent editorial emphasiz-
ing the fact that the more 1t costs to
get food from the farms to the towns
the higher the cost OF living is bound
to be.
Light Traffic Fails to Pay.
The problem before us relates not
merely to the transportation to and
from the railway station" writes the
consulting editor of the Engineering
News Record in his report already
referred to. "It has to do with the
light traffic branch railways, on which
the cost of hauling freight per ton
mile is often ten or twenty times as
great as on the heavy traffic railways.
Almost without exception these light
traffics do not pay. Their construc-
tion has come to a stop. Investors
will not furnish money to build them.
and the great railway companies also
have ceased to build branch lines.
There has been an awakening to the
fact that such extensions are gen
orally burden on rather than a bene-
fit to the company"
E. Farr, chief of the Firestone Shin
by Truck Bureau, declares the motor
truck, by coming forward and meet
ing emergencies, is gradually but
surely proving 1t is supreme in the
short haul field.
Practically Proven.
For example, in an emergency dur
ing the harvest season Just passed
kavanaugh & Shea, Implement deal
ers at Alva, Okla, brought the motor
truck into requisition in obtaining
harvest machinery supplies from
wichita Kan, a distance of approx
mately 125 miles. The truck went to
Wichita one day and back the next.
1t proved its practicability on the first
trip, the report states, and remained
on the job as long as the harvest rush
made urgent the demand for speedy
delivery.
1T is just by nosing itself forward
in such emergencies that the motor
truck as a freight hauler is proving
its value. The person or persons
benefiting by it during the period OF
emergency learn to appreciate 1t and
before long will demand that it's serv-
ice be permanent"

ploy between 1900 and 5000 men, ana
will be capable of a minimum pro-
duction of 400 cars per day. This
production gradually will be in
creased.
The management of the Duesenbere
Motors plant. which carried to a sue

program, remains in active charge of
operations.
The modern. highly standardized
equipment OF the Dusenberg Corpora
tion is being retained for the manu-
facture of the new six-cylinder car.
This is being augmented by other me-
chanical equipment required for the
production of the new car on the ex-

The progressive method of assem-
bly,, followed so successfully In the
