Reading Advertisements
Has Helped to Make This
A United Country

You can meet up with anybody in
the United States and quickly get
on conversational footing because
you both read the same advertise
ments. "
Advertising is the daily guide to
what's good to buy.
Advertisements give you the latest
news from the front line of bust
ness progress.
Reading advertisements enables
you to get more for your money
because they tell you where, what
and when to buy.
And it is well-knOwn fact that
advertised goods are more reliable
and better values than the unad-
vertised kinds.

laid up for repairs is the time that
cuts down the profits it should make.
To have more of truck than is needed
in your business is foolish waste. To
have less of truck than the job calls
for is criminal on the part Of the man
who owns it. But to have truck that
otherwise fits the job, but because of
bad handling is laid up for repairs, is
just a mans own fault.
Motor trucks are of necessity bust
ness vehicles. 1t is bad enough for
the owner of a passenger car not have
his automobile when he wants it, No
amount of repair shop service can COM
pensate him for what he may lose in
the way of pleasure, yet he can hardly
put a cash valuation on the loss.
But to have his truck out of the
running when it should be working
be able to estimate in dollars and
just how much extra pound of over
load and every mile an hour of ex-
cessive speed are costing him.
Inspection is the thing that every truck
needs, and needs constantly. The often
repeated example of the railway loco
motive, huge. bulky thing that goes
on perfect highway, should always be
before the truck owner. If that sort

road after running limited number
of miles, for inspection and perhap!
overhaul, how much more so the truck
which runs on far from perfect high
ways and bears the load, instead o.
hauling it?
Therefore, do not be deceived by thu
rugged appearance of the truck. 1t ha'
its limits and you owe it to your bust
ness, your pocketbook and yourself t.
know them. You should know in ad
vance what kind Of truck you need

control station is reached. Very often
the days journey was not completed
until or o'clock at night. Each
Monday morning the men began count
ing the hours until Sunday when they
could take a real bath and get regu-
lar nights sleep.
The long trip has been a pronounced
success from every standpoint, accord
ing to reports from army officers in
command. Unusual interest has been
aroused in the communities along the
route on good roads work. At every
stop official speakers accompanying the
convoy have lectured on the need Of
better national highway system as q
means to combat the high cost of iiv-
Ing.
Motor Transport, Engineer Corps
and artillery officers of the army have
collected wealth of data on topo-
graphic and other military phases
which will be carefully compiled into
permanent army records. The govern
ment assigned a force of Signal Corps
photographers to take a complete NOV
ing picture chronicle of the entire trip.
The convoy will arrive in San Fran
cisco just two days later than sched-
uled time. Heavy rains and storms en-
countered during the last few weeks
caused muddy roads and slow going.

in an established automobile concern
that has been successful in the ham
ding of rapidly growing volume Of
business. A fully equipped service sta
ton, to meet the demands of Nash
owners in Manhattan, The Bronx and
Staten Island, Will be maintained for
the present also at the corporation :
headquarters on West Sixty-third
Street.
The new arrangement viii enable the
New York public to inspect a complete
line of Nash cars and trucks in snow
rooms now being renovated on the east
side Of Broadway, between Slxty-fourth
and Sixty-hfth streets.
Through this arrangement" says Mr..
Warren, "the buyer is enabled to reap
the benefit of closer contact with the
Nash organization when he buys a car
or truck. and in the very important
item of prompt. efficient and courteous
service can deal directly with the fac
tory's representative. This is factor
that will operate materially, we believe,
to increase the satisfaction derived
from ownership of our line of motor
vehicles. The automobile trade gen.
orally looks to New York to set the
pace, and this reorganization of the re-
tail sales business is undertaken with
that thought in mind"

High Weight Does Not
Mean Quality in Tires
Exceptional Poundage May
Mean Actually Quite the
Reverse

Mere weight in an automobile tire
is no indication Of quality. AS a mat
ter Of fact, exceptional weight in a
tire may be one of the surest proofs
of its inferiority.
The weight of tire depends largely
on the materials that are mixed in
with the rubber in the course Of man
ufacture. High specific gravity in rub
Der compositions can be caused only
by the use OF a large percentage of
heavy compromising materials. Tire
experts know that all parts of the
casing except the tread give longer
service if they are made with the addi-
ton of very little compromising mate
rials. Another fact we'll known to the
experts is that in making the tread the
greatest toughness and durability car
be secured by adding ingredients that
are relatively light.
The tire user can readily see that
there is, therefore, no reason why tires
should be heavy in order to be strong
Of two tires of equal dimensions the
lighter is in all probability the strong
Ell. In pointing out this fact the United
States Tire Company calls attention
to the light weight of its tires as al
indication of the quality of the mate
rails used in their construction ant
as jan explanation of their toughnes!
and rugged wearing qualities.

Of Kissel Cars
Veteran Automobile Man

Full of Virtues

The Sidney B. Bowman Automobile
Company has taken the franchise for
distributing Kissel cars and motor
trucks in Greater New York, Eastern
New York, including Albany, Troy and
Schenectady, Western Connecticut and
Northern New Jersey. Mr. Bowman
is one of New York's first automobile
distributors, his company having been
distributing cars continuously on
and Fifth Avenue were continuous
stream of carriages, hansoms and
"hacks," and when the appearance of
"horseless carriage" or get horse"
created incredulity that such a con-
traption could amount to anything.
an my eighteen years search for
a car, one that / could afford to link
with my name at this momentous period
of the industry, | sought q car Of
mechanical excellence and consistent,
not stunt, performance, which en-
bodied those elements of exclusive de-
sign and appointments usually found
only in the most costly made-to- order
jobs" said Mr. Bowman yesterday.
There are three models of the open
Jobs which we hope to display next
week. The four passenger tourster
in kisscl blue and the seven passenger
touring in gun metal are advanced in
CHASSIS construction and composite in
body design of unique and distinctive
features. The two-passenger speed
ster, finished in chrome yellow, has
the new Kissel custom-b built motor
that develops 81 horsepower at 1900
revolutions a minute.
There are to be four models Of the
new closed Kissels-four-p passenger
coupe, n-passenger staggered
door sedan, four-door passenger
suburban sedan, and the town car
all four models mounted on the Gus
tom built chassis.
I'VE have always considered our
selves duty bound to take care of our
customers in such a way that the
motor car purchased of us not only
gives satisfactory service at the be-
ginning, but continues SO through the
years that follow. Our service
station has grown to building of
$4,000 square feet.
"kissel trucks are the result Of
thirteen years of continuous develop
ment OF both motor cars and trucks.

in good copdition, provided the motor
list avoids the road from Franklin Fur
mace through Sparta to Lafayette, and
continues north from Franklin Fur
mace to Sussex. and then to Branch
Vile. The road this way is about five
miles longer. but the route through
Sparta at the present time is in a very
bad condition. The above route runs
through Leonia, Hackensack, Paterson,
Pompton, Newfoundland, Sussex and
Branchville to Dingmans.
There is another good way of going
to the Water Gap via Dngmans over
good roads from New York via the
Belleville Turnpike through Bellevlle,
Montclair Caldwell, Parsippany, Dover,
Kenville. Netcong, Andover and New
ton to Branchville. The above route
is also the route to Lake Hopatcong
The short route to the Water Gap is
via Newark and Morristown, then over
Schooley's Mountain through Hacketts-
town. 1t is fair going 20 Bridgevillc.
From there on to the Water Gap, a
distance Of eight miles, the road is
rough.
There is cons derable construction
work on the direct road to Philadelphia
between Railway and Trenton. Motor
lists can avoid the construction by run
ming from Railway to North Amboy,
then over to Metuchen and on to New
Brunswick. From New Brunswick the
Cranbury Turnpike is followed to a
road which turns off between Deans

Trenton Turnpike into Trenton.
A number of the roads in south New

The Bureau of Tours has received
positive information that the contract
had been let for new hard surfac ed

crosses the Raritan River through

The road is under construction be-

then west to Red Bank. From there go
over the new Harding Road, which was
recently built and opened to the public
for passenger vehicles only, and is, no
doubt, one of the finest pieces of road
