The office Of the Secretary of State
has handled the registration of auto
mobiles ever since there has been any
regular supervision of motor cars in
New York State. The work has grown
in volume enormously. in the last few
years particularly. Car cnrolments have
jumped TO more than 100000, and
where once it was possible to register
a car merely by writing to Albany it
has been found necessary TO subdivide

men trained in handling financial and
traffic problems.
White trucks are used exclusively.
They are all tiveton units, fitted With
bodies best adapted to highway trans
portation service. Comfortable cabs
protect the drivers during the severost
weather.. Only the most skilled opera
tors are employed, thus insuring ION
time" schedules.
The company has found that shippers
demand high quality service and will
not tolerate irresponsible truck lines
that hold out as their only inducement
for business a cut rate. The Western
Truck Lines has established rates low
enough to encourage shippers to use
the service and at the same time high
enough to justify a responsible COM
pany to give the best transportation
service possible.
Advantages Are Many
An incident shows the advantages Of
fered by this efficient truck line The
Independent Pneumatic Tool Company,
OF Aurora, engaged on extensive GOV
crnment contracts, found it necessary
to ship from their Chicago factory to
their plant at Aurora a number Of large
machines, which naturally were of
value to them only while in operation.
The machines were loaded on trucks Of
the Western Lines at the close of the
Gays business in Chicago and delivered
to Aurora, distance of forty-tvo
miles, before the Aurora plant opened
Tor work the following day. There was
30 loss of time through the machines
standing idle. The dispatch attending
the trans fer Of the machines resulted
in the tool company routing all its
shipments Of freight between Chicago
and Aurora via the Western Truck
Lines.
Retail grocers have found that by
using this service they save in time
from five to ten days in getting their
goods from the wholesalers, thereby
saving money upon each shipment due
to cash discount rates allowed. A
further saving is effected by the elm
nation of petty losses through damage
in shipment. Shipment by truck also
insures fresher stocks.
Big Aid to Farmers
Farmers were quick to take ad-
vantage of motor transportation. They
can ship one or more hogs to market
on trucks passing their doors and save
the money formerly paid stock buyers
for handling their shipments. Nor is
it necessary to hold hogs, all ready for
market, awaiting the time to get to-
oNN.N. q N'NHN ~ ioA q Cal
load lot. Farmers using this service
along the routes travelled by the trucks
erect small platforms at the side of
the road, placing on the loading plat
forms produce for shipment properly
Marked The first truck along picks
up the consignment and delivers di-
rect to the best market, with no loss
of time from work on tho part of the
farmer
The Western Truck Lines adopted as
their slogan at the outset, THE Best
Way" Shippers in the territory GOV.
cred after giving the service thor.
ough trial, are convinced the slogan
is not a misnomcr. The company has
handled thousands of shipments and
has yet to receive the first complaint
Concerns intrusting the line with trial
shipments have without a single ex-
ccption become permanent patrons.

Mitchell Six Received
Well at the Show
By BECK

The new Victory model Mitchell Six
displayed for the first time at the New
York and Chicago shows, met with in
slant and gratifying favor
There was no question in our minds
and at the factory that after eighteen
months of patient development work
by our engineers we had a car that
would command Favorable attention"
said President George II. Stowe of the
Mitchell Motor Car Company of New
York, "but it certainly was comforting
to see the way the public confirmed
our judgment after they had seen the
car
"To say that the new Victory model
was the sensation of the New York
and Chicago shows does not overstate
the case. Idle curiosity was not the
motive behind the interest, as the
business booked at the show attests.
If the atmosphere of prosperity and
eager resumption of business which we
have thus far encountered is a fair
indication of conditions around the
country, there is a great year in store
for all Of us" concludes Mr.. Stowe.

Foreign Makers
Prepare to Enter
u. 5. Field
Great Activity in Motor Car
Business Is Prophesied;
Must DO Something to
X ccp Factories Going
By Jack Hiscock

1t is we'll known that practically
every foreign manufacturer of note
has so increased his factory space and
learned so much more than he knew
before about production that very ser-
Gus consideration is being given to an
invasion Of American markets. 1t even
is stated that many concerns propose
launching big campaigns in this coun~
try.
Though foreign cars are very we'll
liked and admired because of their
goodness of construction and manu-
facture, it is we'll nigh impossible for
them to come here in any quantity be-
cause the foreigners cannot produce
as good an article at the same price
as American builders. Just what Fiat,
Sunbeam, De Dion and other foreign
makers intend to do with their enor-
nous works and personnel is we'll in
dicated in the announcement of Fiat
and De Dion to manufacture every
part Of their cars in their own shops,
Fiat going so far as to make its own
speedometers, clocks, wheels, car
bureter and ignition apparatus.
Fiat has announced four models,
tHIee OF lnen WIN narrow lreaO, sun
beam has a new sporting model with
a 110-horsepower motor. and the Eng
lish firm of Enfield Allday has a static
radial engine of five cylinders.
1t is significant in all of the an
nouncements Of foreign makers that
they will continue to use magnetic as
ignition equipment in spite of the
fact that most of them are installing
electric starting and lighting. The
reason is quite easy to see, since the
superiority of the magnetic for ignition
/ has never been ques-:oned by the eX-
acting foreigner. Though the English
French and Italians knew little about
magnetic building before the war, cali
ing on the Splitdorf cosapany for thou
sands upon thousands or magnetos
during the war period and now some
of them are attempting to make their
own, rather than use any other form
of ignition. Since America always fol
lows foreign practice, though it is
somewhat behind as yet, we should
expect a still greater use Of magnetic
ignition for passenger cars here and
soon see it universally used in the
field as it is in the truck and tractor
fields, where reliability is willing paid

War Brings
New Ideals
To Industry
Better Standards of Honor,
Justice and Service in
Motor Car World, Says
e.. C.. Hubbs, of Detroit

The war has developed new and
higher ideals of honor and justice and
service in the automobile industry.
The prosperity of peace, apparently
looming within easy reach, will prove
mere phantom to those who fail to
take into consideration this important
moral phase of their business. George
c. Hubs, of Detroit, who has been
prominently identified for number of
years with big manufacturing interests,
fathers the foregoing idea of the "auto-
mobile renaissance" He expounded it
in q forcible and interesting address to
a recent gathering of the Ohio Auto
Trade Association in Akron.
ut is my candid opinion that four
years of war conditions have resulted
healthier state than it has been at any
time in its history" said Mr.. Hubs
who is assistant general sales manager
of Dodge Brothers. "These years of
trial have been highly beneficial in
proving what was sound and unsound
in both principle and practice. That
which was not basically right has been
subjected to needed alteration. The
predominating strength of the business
has been 1nely emphasized.
"The industry as q whole has had an
opportunity to express itself in new
and splendid terms, and as result of
these testings there has evolved a
character to the business which is GER
tain to have an important bearing
upon future manufacturing and sales
methods. Just as the war has uplifted
our individual ideals of honor and JUS
tce and service, SO all organized bodies
! discover that the self-acting Of yester-
day will not meet the higher standards
which have universally been set up by
the close associations and mutual de-
Tendencies of war times
"If these experiences have made US
more certain that only that which is
fundamentally right will stand test,
and that Brightness is quite as much an
industry concern as it is an individual
or company concern, then the future of
the motor car business has been made
that much more secure and promising.
"The immediate future could hardly
be more encouraging. Any one who
can think straight enough to add two
and two can prophesy safely that the
coming year is going to be one of the
best years the motor car has had.
"The public estimate of motor car
statesmen rs 'hot-air, blue-sky artists
is, happily, fast passing away-if, in
In it's stead there has developed an
other estimate which regards the
methods employed in the motor car
business, the class of statesmen at
tached to it and its general attitude
toward the buyer as being Of dis
tinctly efficient and crcditable char
actor"

The Packard twIn-six aviation type en-
CINE. The "905" was the third model
produced by the company in its efforts
before America entered the war TO pro-
