PACKARD TESTS
BOOM TRUCKS
Show Increased Use Of Mo.
tors in Daily Transpor-
tation Scheme.

Thirty-seyen million. one hun
ored and sixty-six thousand pounds
was the weight Of freight trsns-
ported by four trucks in the three
months Of Packards 1918 truck op-
Grating efficiency test.
II would have required go rail-
way freight cars OF 10000 pounds
capacity each TO carry this tonnage
IL all this material could be piled
on four-ton trucks. placed twenty
feet apart, the line of trucks would
extend more than thirty-five miIes.
The four trucks making this rec
ord were three three-ton and one
fCur-ton Packard. owned by the
Reynolds Tobacco Company Of
Winston-Sslem. n. c. The figures
indicating the immensity OF their
achievement are cited TO show to
what a great extent trucks have
entered into the daily scheme OF
transportation
In Packard's present truck oper-
ating efficiency test other trucks
too, are making remarkable tor
mage records. The encouraging
feature OF the figures coming into
the factory at Detroit is the ey1-
dence of more careful loading as the
test Sontinues. Scores OF trucks
4are carrying 80 per cent more
freight this month than they did
last These splendid improvements
show what cooperation between the
driver. shipping clerk and account
ant will do.
There are three factors that have
a direct bearing on the improved
results achieved. One is pride OF
the men in their work. especially
where they have full cooperation OF
the truck owner: the monthly ami
individual certificates OF personal
efficiency which the Packard offers
and third. the Sl7 $40 in cash prizes
which will be distributed to drivers.
shipping clerks and accountants at
the conclusion OF the test in Janu-
airy. 1890. That some OF the trucks
in this city will share in the honors
in January is the belief Of Mr.. Lut-
trelI. local Packard dealer. who Is

land Thinks.

Interviewed on the much discussed
subject OF foreign competition, Presi-
dent ID. G. Duriand. OF the Mitchell
Motors Company. Inc. of Racine,
Wis. makes the following statement:
1T seems to be the general belief
among people who are not in position
to have definite knowledge on the
subject that Europe will be so busy
rebuilding and rehabilitatinS herself
that she will not have much time to
devote to the promotion of manufac-
ture and industry for some time to
come.
These optimists seem to have the
feeling that America. with the won
derful manufacturing equipment in
herited from the war, has hut to
reach out her hand. SO TO speak. TO
grasp the trade of the world.
Nothing could be further from the
, truth. While there can be no deny.
ing the devastation wrought by the
war in those sections OF Europe which
were actually under fire or occupied
| by the vandal Germans. nevertheless
! il must be borne In mind that this
represents but a small area as COM
pared to the whole and that the fac
tories in the uninjured portions are
! intact and ready to do business.
| Even while the destroyed cities and
, factories are being rebuilt the others.

the intense production Of war ma
terials. will be getting under way.
Heretofore. America has led the
way in production methods. Now our
/ best methods are in common use over
! there and Europe. once she has
learned how. can be expected to turr
out good products fully as cheaply
as we can.
I'm a word. il We have excellent
manufa cturing facilities, so has Eu-
rope. The question is. what are we
going to do with them?'

GREAT INCREASE
in TRUCK SALES
international Motor Com.
pany Optimistic Over
March Report.

The International Motor Company
announces that \eir sales for March
showed the biggeS increase of any
month since the signing of the armis-
tIce-
An outstanding feature of this big
increase of business is that fully so
per cent Of the orders are for Mack
heavy duty trucks. ranging from 3IH
tons to ~ tons capacity. This Is in
terpreted as a growing realization of
the greater economy of large units.
The marked increase OF new GUS
toners is attributed in part to the
fact that returning soldiers who have
seen Mack trucks perform for the
United States Engineers in France are
telling of their wonderful work in
the war.
Mack trucks were much sought af-
ter by soldiers who had to drive
trucks because it was practically i'm
possible to stall them. and they gave
the least trouble in operation This
appealed to tired and worn soldiers.
who are making their preference
known.

SMALLESTITEM
IS SELLING CAR
Good Performance Alone
Keeps them Sold, Man
ufacturer Believes.

Any dealer can sell car. but
good performance alone will keep
1t sold. Loss Of the use OF his car
Is prompt cause of dissatisfaction.
but on the other hand, a ready cor
rection of his troubles Is q sure way
to keep an owner smiling.
Their service policy shows that
this fact is no more appreciated by
any motor car manufacturer than
the Liberty Motor Car Company, OF
Detroit.
They recognize that while it is
necessary that dealers give good
service to owners, II is also vital
that dealers be given good service
by the factory SO that their service
to owners may be the very best. And
knowing this. the company has
brought its service organization up
to a standard that challenges criti-
cism and affords little excuse for an
owner being without the use of his
car for a longer period than can
be avoided.
Liberty factory service work has
been thoroughly systemized. A re-
markable method of checking makes
1t almost impossible to send wrong
parts or an incorrect quantity.
Stocks are SO arranged that orders
may be filled in the very least pos
sible time. In almost every case
parts are shipped within twenty
four hours after receipt of the order.
Thus the dealers are made able to
keep their owners car in commits
sion almost without interruption.
Liberty cars are known for their
singular freedom from the common
mechanical trouble and annoyance.
but this perfected service makes
their owners still less liable to suf-
fer the inconvenience OF doing
without their cars for any length
OF time.

But this appeal came too late.
though il went much further than
any former one and in addition held
out pleasing prospects to the enemy
that Italy could be detached. along
with Russia. from the entente.
King Ferdinand. enchanted by the
prospects of the booty in Turkey and
Macedonia promised him by Russia.
personally went to the Emperor and
the Kaiser and begged them to give a
favorable reply.
But Ludendorff and the general stan
preferred the revolution that they
knew was coming and that would
soon eliminate Russia from the ranks
OF combatant powers.
Even after Kerensky was in power
and the Gar was a prisoner in his
palace at Tzarskoe-Selo. a group oi
grand dukes and dignitaries OF the
old regime through the same neutral
channel made a final appeal to the
central powers to make peace and
crush the Russian revolution.
These proposals. which I believe the
Germans did not deiGn to answer. also
contained good advice for the three
sovereigns to whom il was addressed.
Ferdinand, Charles and Wilhelm. all
OF whom were to lose their thrones
within eighteen months, were inform
ed by the Russians:
We will not assume that sover.
eigns. howevr hostile they may be
towards each other for the time being
are prepared 10 let req cnaOs ARISE
in Russia, the consequences of which
would in all probabilities recoil upon
themselves"
To this appeal it is probable that
the Gar was a party. though his
name was eliminated in order to pro-
tect him from the revolutionists in
whose power he was when the note
was dispatched.
Whom the Gods Would Destroy
They First Make Mad" The old tag
comes to mind in reading these pro-
posals Of treason from Petrograd,
made before America entered the war.
For had not arrogance or the will
of providence blinded Ludendorff and
the other rulers of Germany, II does
not seem that any human power could
have saved the allied cause.
Had the treason of CZarist Russia
been accepted while the Gar still
had a mighty army In the field. en-
abling Germany to throw her whole
army to the west. possibly re-en-
forced by Muscovite divisions. all
would have been over, before a single
American unit could have entered the
battle.
