BANKERS OF 3RD.
DIST. TO CONFER.
ON COTTON HERE.

The bankers of the Third congress
ional district will be the guests of
Americus Thursday having been called
by the Chamber of Commerce to meet
here to take action looking toward the
solution of the cotton crisis. Arnong
the distinguished visitors is expected
to be w. c. Lanier, of West Point,
president of the Georgia Bankers asso-
citation.
The meeting will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce room, where the
bankers will discuss ways and means
of assisting in the acreage reduction
and cotton holding movement Action
to assist actively IN this movement
has already been taken by bankers in
other districts in Georgia, and it is
believed those of the Third district
will be solidly for this scheme to
thwart the attempt of the northern
gamblers to impoverish the South by
getting its cotton crop for far less
than the cost of production.
A plan of entertainment for the
visiting bankers was being worked out
today under the direction of John
Sheffield and t. C. Tillman~ represent
ing the Chamber of Commerce. One
feature is to be luncheon at the
Windsor hotel at noon Thursday at
which the Chamber of Commerce will
be host.
The Americus Rotary club today ac-
cepted an invitation of the Chamber
of Commerce to hold its regular lunch
con with the Chamber and bankers.

New Buick Missing D
Gypsy Band Gone

A nearly new Buick automobile be-
longing to Mrs d. PeaTlman disan-
peared from in front of her home at
224 South Jackson street, next door to
the home of Police Chief Johnson, last
evening about the same time that a
band of automobiling gypsies which
had been in this vicinity for several
days, disappeared No charge was
made that the gypsies had taken the
car, but it has come to the local po-
lice that they have been wanted in
other parts of Georgia in connection
with the mysterious disappearance of
various pieces of property, including
automobiles. and the authorities would
like to locate them for questioning.
Mrs. Pearlman reported her loss to
Chief Johnson and Sheriff Harvey, and
they were attempting to trace the
stolen car today She offered a re-
ward of $50 for its return.
A number of depredations have oc-
Cured in this vicinity since the ad-
vent of the itinerants. One of these
occurred last Saturday night when the
small store of Alex Johnson, located
on South Lee street just beyond the
city limits, was burglarized Of $40
worth of goods, including five sacks of
flour, several boxes of tobacco and
other goods.

The would-be assassin was an or

way the truck is handled, and what you

Packard Aircraf for Commercial,
or Passenger Purposes
Since hostilities ceased, business
America has not had time to standard
ize its aircraft needs. The Packard
Company is not making a stock air
plane, but has department to execute
special orders, or to advise and figure
with Transportation Companies, the
Government, or private individuals.
As originators Of the motor from
which the Liberty Motor wa made,
and as producers Of the most advanced
type Of airplanes for the Government,
the Packard Aircraft Engineering De-
partment may be said to be in position
Of first authority and to offer the most
complete impractical departmentnow
available for the development Of air
planes in this country.
The Packard Organization as
Transportation Specialists ;
Whether Of passenger or freight, and
whether by highroad or air,route, this
whole question Of transportation is
one we are treating with intensive
specialization.
What with problems Of reconstruc>
ton, the certain and enormous expan-
sion Of business, the additional strain
on already overtaxed and inadequate
railroads-with no immediate prospect
Of railway betterment-there is crying
need for specialstudy and analysis Of all
other factors and means Of service.
No subject before the business world
is Of more vital importance. It is one
too often thought Of in the round, and
treated in vague, general terms.
As individual problems become more
specific and acute, it will be found Of
practical help to discuss them with the
Packard Company, who probably pos
sesses more new data on transportation
than any other cons-m in America

Packard responsibility for the service
the car gives is the best insurance a car
owner can have. One reason this in
surance means SO much is the fact that
the Packard Company produces a
greater proportion Of all the parts that
enter into its car than any other auto
mobile concern in America.
You cannot well have responsibility
without authority. And just to the
extent that a maker depends on fac
tors outside of his control, must he
contend with varying standards Of
quality and impair the authoritative
nature of his guarantee.
Packard Trucks for Immediate
Delivery
Packard truck production has been
continuous. The only change from
1OOR wal work is that formerly the
Government took practically the full
production, and now part Of the pro-
duction is available for the public.
The Packard truck building organi>
zation is the finest in the world. We
have kept it free from the demoraliza-
ton Of hasty processes and the over
strain Of high>pressure production.
If anything, it has been strengthened
and improved during the war period,
andthe standards Of material and work
manship even more rigidlymaintained.
New Efficiency Test for
Packard Trucks
Another Packard truck efficiency test
is scheduled to start February LIST, 1919,
for the purpose Of teaching truck own
ers and operators to reduce. transporta-
ton cost and relieve freightcars to save
gasoline, to save time, to save repairs.
Prize money aggregating $17,6oo.oo
has been provided. Prizes will not only
be given to drivers, but also to account
ants and shipping clerks, in order to
emphasize the fact that truck efficiency
is a matter Of the whole approach to,
and treatment Of, the transportation
question - the right truck, the right

Packard dealers and to thousands OF
waiting purchasers.
Events Of the past year have done
more than any words Of ours could do
to fix Packard ascendencyin the minds
Of the thinking men Of the world.
The principle Of the Packard Twelve
Cylinder Engine is established before
all men as the most advanced and prac-.
teal development in modern motor
construction.
Getting Back Into Production
When the Packard concern stopped
making passenger cars and went on
1907 war work, it had on hand finished
parts to the value Of six million dollars.
These parts were all Of the finest
material, finished in the careful pains
taking way of the Packard organization.
No compromise on quality, no slightest
lowering Of standards owing to diff
culties in the material situation or the
speeding-up process.
Whatever the pressure or conditions,
this organization knows but one stand
ard Of quality, and that is the best.
It will be clear to all that the posses
sion Of this stock of finished parts en-
ables us to resume production more
quickly and smoothly than otherwise
would be possible.
No Change in Packard Prices
Packard prices are based on cost Of
material. There was no rise in Packard
prices during the war period based on
what the traficwould bear. There isno
lowering Of quality and consequently
no leeway for reduction Of price at
this time.
It is not easy for the motor car owner
to detect reduced qualities in cars, in
timetocompare with the quotedprice.
