Simple Operations
Fitted Together

The business of Swift q Company is
the fitting together of many simple
operations.
No one thing in q packing business is
particularly difficult for men trained to
do it; but no one thing is enough.
Thousands of other operations, pro-
perly performed, are necessary for the COM
pleted processes. And some one must
fit together all these thousands of simple
operations.
The success with which a packing
business performs its function of supplying
the best possible meat products to the con-
surner with the greatest possible benefit
to both him and the producer depends upon
the energy, brains, experience, and faith
ful effort of the men trained in the business.
Swift & Company turns the producers
live stock into meat for the consumer at
aproft of only a fraction of a cent a pound,
because it fits these operations together
with the least waste, overlapping, n
friction.
Do you believe government direction
could do it better?

aspect that with completion Of only
a portion Of the work outlined the
demand for trucks Will grow enor-

motor truck industry in the past have
been optimists- Their most optimistic
predictions are coming true. and more
than true.

NEW RECORDS
IN BIC RACES
Chevrolet Brothers and
Tommy Milton Do Amaz-
ing Speed Stunts.

The three big automobile racing
meets Of July. at Sheepshead Bay. y.
I Y, Tacoma, Wash. and Uniontown,
I Pa. have. singularly enough. resulted
: in setting up three new track records
and the establishment Of a new
worlds competitive record for 100
miles.
In the big 100 mile derby at Sleeps
head Bay on July 4. Castor Chevrolet,
at the wheel Of a Frontenac, clipped
three seconds from the best previous
100 mile record. completing the CEN
fury run in 81 minutes, rs seconds
an average Of 110-53 miles an hour.
In large field Of drivers he took
the lead at the start and was never
headed off although Dave Lewis and
HoWdy Wilcox gave him a real battle
all the way. His wonderful speed and
daring driving skill. however. enabled
him TO maintain his lead and he
crossed the finish line after a won
derful nonstop run, the possessor Of
the worlds fastest record for a 100
mile race HoWdy wilcox. Dave
Lewis, Eddie O'Connell. Ira Vail and
Denny Hickey finished in the order
named.
While CASTOR Chevrolet was setting
up new speed mark at Sheepshead
creating new speed records at Ia
coma, Wash, where he won the so
mile and the so mile events. In the
first his average speed was 9S5 and
in the second 81 miles per hour He
was pitted against such noted speed
stsrs as Resta. Durant and Hearne,
who gave him a great race for su-
premacy, hut his throbbing Frontenac
was equal TO the task winning the
two big events Of the afternoon.
At Uniontown on the 18th Tommy
Milton, in a Duesenberg. won his sec
ond race OF the season. Instead OF
one long race the afternoons events
consisted OF five heats Of p 1-2 miles
each The winners Of each heat
dropped out automatically and quail
fled for the fifth and final heat Mil
ton took the first and final in two
remarkable nonstop runs. setting UP
4 new track record OF 1O1.17 miles an
hour IN the final Dave Lewis in a
Meteor and Red Fetterman in a Peer
less finished second and third re-
spectively.
An interesting feature IN connec-
ton with all these races is that all
were won with cars riding on Good
year cord tires OF the straight side
type. Goodyear tires are now pass-
ing through their fourth season on
the various race tracks of the coun-
try. and their use has become stan
dard practice among the big racing

COUer Locking Chain With
4 Piece Of Leather And
AUoid Damaging Finish

The common method Of locking
spare tires Is TO use a chain and
paddock. The only trouble with the
idea is the noise incident to the
rafting of the chain and the fact
that It mars the finish of parts with
which It comes in contact. Some car
owners cover this chain with a bit of
hose. but this is usually too stiff and
Is somewhat noisy and even permits
marring Of the finish. A bit Of leather
or heavy substitute. the length Of the
chain and wide enough to form q
