Edmund n. Stone, president Of the

figure in the motor truck industry. MT
Stone has been prominently identified
for many years with big business
propositions and has won for himself
reputatio second TO none as a keen.
farsghted organizer and systematizeI
along productive lines.
Many large enterprises in various
parts of the country can trace their
present successful organization to the
results of his ability, which is in no
way confined to his capacity as a certi-
fled public accountant. In his progress
siveness of thought the policy of Mr..
Stone is always to harness, not only
the scientific and practical ability OF
those associated with him. but to also
encourage and develop the initiative OF
the individual.
In taking up the already well estab-
lished sales and service business of tn 2
Manhattan Motors Corporation he pro-
poses to standardize motor truck service
upon lines which can be termed posi-
lively distinctive but leading to only
one conclusion, namely satisfied patrons,
based upon methods established from

at is peculiarly fitting that two such
long established organizations should

The Bowman Automobile Company

Kissel organization has also been in
business a great many years, and since
1906 has been operating under the
present name and ownership.
'Tn this association" continues Mr..
Bowman. Il am sure each Of the organi-
cations will ind a great attraction IN
the other. because each of them will be
able to recognize and appreciate in the
other qualities that have resulted In this
long and continuously successful record
IN an industry that has seen many
changes.

Motion Picture VIII BE Used
Throughout State,

Motion pictures will play the most
important part in a campaign under
taken by the State Reconstruction Com
mission, recently appointed by Gov
Alfred E. Smith, for the education of
the people of the State Of New York
during the next few months, following
a conference in New York last week b.
tween Mrs. Belle Moskovitz, secretary
of the commission, and DR.. Francis Hol-
ley, director of the Bureau of CONNER
cial Economics, Washington, d. C.
Chief among the subjects upon which
the campaign is to be based are the
development Of highways and the fur
therance Of the ship-by-truck movement
Motion pictures boosting these two great
activities will be shown in every city
and town In the State of New York dur

many dimes within the last few days by
old Kissel owners who called as soon
as they heard we represented the Kissei
and inquired about the new models, at
the same time stating emphatically that
nothing could induce them to part with
their old K1ssels unless they were sure
they could get new ones This is the
result of the factory policy and of the
spirit that has been built UP among tao
individual members of the factory or
ganization, to do good work only, and to
continuously strive to do better work.
The factory pays as close attention
to under the surface details as they do
to those on the surface. They are not
hampered in this policy. as they build
the cars themselves, manufacturing even
their own motors, axles, bodies, &c. 1t
is therefore not surprising that old Kis-
sell owners remain loyal and that con-
slant development along these lines for
a period of thirteen years should have
produced suoh an excellent product as
the Kissel custom built six. The car, In
addition to being very powerful and
quiet running, Is very easy riding, which
feature is greatly appreciated by people
who desire high quality cars"
Mr.. Bowman expects the first ship
ments Of new Kissel skies and trucks.
which are now in transit, to arrive the
first part of this week.

Trip to Bear Mountain

There are no short runs out Of New
York which exceed in beauty of scenery
that leading to the Interstate Park ~
| Bear Mountain. For the benefit of
those motorists not familiar with the
proper route at the present time. the
touring bureau of the American Automo-
bile Association. at sol Fifth avenue,
has outlined the trip as follows
Leaving New York by way of 130th
street ferry, the Fort Lee road Is fol-
lowed through Leonia to Hackensack;
here turn right on Main street and con-
tinue to Passaic street. where turn left
on an excellent road past the quaint old
water wheel at Arcola, and then via Ho-
hokus. Allendale. Ramsey and Mahwah.
to Suffern. Here bear left and continue
on a road which follows very closely
the windings of the picturesque Ramapo
River. with many fine views OF the river
and the mountains which flank it on
both sides. through Ramapo and Sloats-
burg to Tuxedo.
About three miles north Of the village
OF Tuxedo turn right, leaving the New
burgh road, cross n bridge over the rail-
road and follow a winding but excellent
macadam road through the Interstate
Park, one of the most attractive sections
to be found anywhere in this region.
This road. which Is sixteen miles long,
was built at great expense about three
years ago and has been very popular
ever since with New York motorists.
owing to the many exceptionally fine
views which prevail throughout its entire
length.
After luncheon. the return trip leads
south along the west bank of the Hud-
son River as far as Stony Point; then
somewhat inland to Haverstraw, and on
to Nyack by way of Congers and Rock
land Lake. For the balance of the route
from Nyack to New York it is best to
cross by ferry from Nyack to Tarrytown
and follow the east side Of the Hudson
River via Dobbs Ferry and Yonkers, en-
tering New York via Broadway.
This Is better than the road along the
west side OF the river from Nyack
through Piermont. Closter and Tenafiy.
as the latter is getting very rough in
places. Another alternate. which pro-
vides a good surface throughout. is to
run south from Congers through West
Nyack and Tappan to Harrington Park;
then along the Teaneck road to the Fort
Lee road and the 130th street ferry.

RUSH LEATHER TO SHIPS.
Pierce-Arrow Trucks Run Between
Philadelphia and New York.

Four five ton Pierce-Arrow trucks
since the close Of the war have speeded
the delivery to shlpside OF hundreds of
tons of sole leather destined to shoe
thousands of French and Belgian people.
The trucks operated by Frederick Phil
lips of Philadelphia, rushed the hides
from that city to New York on short
notice when no time could be lost.
Three times a week the fleet of four
trucks, 17-foot chassis units with big
enclosed freight bodies. would haul better
than twenty tons OF the precious hides
over the 1903 mile route.
Phillips Specials" as the big cham
payne colored trucks are called, are
well known on the Philadelphia-New
York road. Like clock work the trucks
run on regular schedule-to New York
one day, to Philadelphia the next.
Besides leather the trucks carry chem
ical, rubber, machinery parts and mer-
chandise. Although Mr.. Phillips Charges
40 cents less than the regular railroad
express rates for speedy service the
trucks are operated so economically that
he says the earnings Of each wiped out
the original cost in a years time.
I'VE just keep them busy, that's ALL"
says Mr. Phillips Take No. truck. for
instance. That trucks engine has not
stopped more than four hours q day
since 1t was purchased in May, 1918. 1t
never has missed its daily trip between
New York and Philadelphia. The same
is true of the other trucks purchased
since then. They all keep plugging.
The whole fleet did not cost 5000 in re-
pairs during the year"
