MOTOR CARS NECESSARY
TO ARMY TRANSPORTATION

There is no doubt that the motor
car is a necessity in business and
civil life today. Neither is there
any doubt that il is equally neces-
sary in the military service of the
United States. both overseas and
on this side.
The quartermaster corps, the
aviation section OF the signal corps,
the ordnance department and other
sections of the army are using hun
dreds of motor cars and motor
trucks, and adding great numbers
10 the fleets already in service here
and across the Atlantic.
Though the government has
asked that manufacturers curtail
their production of passenger cars
for civilian use, there has been no
curtailment so far as military cars
are concerned. These are leaving
Detroit factories in great fleets, be-
ing driven overland to army camps
or 10 Atlantic seaports for shipment
abroad.
The army has taken a leaf out
OF the book OF civilian life, and
quickly learned that efficient. eco
nomicaI transportation of men and
materials. and rapid communication
between distant points is best &C
cOmplished by motor vehicles
One of the first factories in De-
troit to produce cars for army use
was Dodge Brothers works. This
production is now moving at top
speed. and large numbers Of Dodge
Brothers motor cars and business
cars are sent forward at frequent
intervals. All are olive drab in
finish, and the business cars for the
uuartermaster corps are fitted with
special tops specified by that de-
partment.

among the members of that much
