Two new Republic models are now or

The standard wheel base of the SIN

"Dreadnought" 165 inches. The DREAD

smaller model is a four-cylinder, 41ss
5A inches, rated at 1888 horsepower
The "a ton model uses a four cylinder
41aX512 inches. Cylinders are of the
L-head type and are cast in pairs. The
crankshaft is of the three bearing type
with all bearings attached to upper
half of crank case.
The armored type radiator has been
increased in size, giving frontal area
of 45O square inches on the Irwin

important factor in the moving of
heavy loads. 1t provides for a wider

Business Speeded
Up by the Use of
Motor Vehicles
Good Appearance and Sim
plicity of Operation Are
Features Urged for Dodge
Bros. Cars by Distributor

Inc speeding up of business in all
sections of the country has been big
stimulus to the popularity of Dodge
Brothers Business Car" says II. r.
Bliss, of the Colt-Stratton Companv,
During the war business had the
motor delivery habit more firmly i'm
planted than ever, and the exceptional
service given in all kinds of haulage
has passed all former bounds of de-
mand
In the first place this business car
admirably meets the attitude of the
merchant toward motor delivery. He
wants looks, dependable, complete serv-
ice at a fixed low cost that can he an
proXimated for the year
The finish of these cars and the en-
tire equipment is of the same quality
as that which goes into their passenger
car. 1t contains the same electric
lighting and starting system. Its an
pearance is a credit and a distinction
to any establishment.
Again, the simplicity of the care and
adjustment of the engine, and the
known freedom from requirements
over long period are an attractive fac
tor not only in the point of continuous
service, but also in the budget of shon
cost.
THE wheelbase, with its narrow
turning radius, enables the driver to
back IN or out of tight places, to han
ole the car with greater ease in choked
trafhc and turn conveniently in mar
row streets and abrupt corners. The
saving of time and the item of speed
with safety is most important feature
IN the delivery of merchandise
The car is particularly in favor with
florists, grocers, dairymen, bakers. dry
goods stores, in fact any stores that
handle merchandise of this character
1t is also largely used by manufacture
"ers for stock chasing or carrying par
eel goods"

When the government early in III.

Warren-Nash Motor Corporation, whole
sale distributors for New York and adj
jacent territory of Nash products, after
leaving his position as sales manager
of one of the large automobile manufac-
tuners in the Middle West, came to New
York as head of the New York branch
of a large truck company, and for five
years. until the formation of the cor

he directed the destiny of these trucks
in this territory.
This means five years of intensive

gathering data from various sources
and studying out the application of
them to their own needs. They could
not help being convinced. The entire
world is now sold on the value of the
motor truck.
"Onc big industry or business after
another has standardized its hauling
equipment with trucks during the last
five years and none of them have the
slightest intention of returning to old
methods. The year just beginning will

Five Years Ago the Output

By H. F. Harris,
General Sales Manager Republic Motor

General Sales Manager Republic Motor
Truck Company
The optimism of truck manufacturers
who have held on and handled their
business carefully has not been mis-
placed. The use to which the truck
was placed in connection with the war
brought results, and the freight con-
gestion at the great terminals and the
necessity of providing transportation
for merchandise to assist the railroads
did much also to emphasize the value of
the truck.
The economic status of the motor
truck as q means of transportation is
now permanently established. The
motor truck has now arrived" There
can be absolutely no doubt about that.
Now the demand for reliable trucks of
all capacities exceeds every expecta-
ton, and the only question the indus
try has to meet is that of delivery in
quantities desired.
1t Will probably be some months

mot only that, but the tendency to
overload is almost beyond belief. AL
though these buses have seating ca
pacity of from sixteen to eighteen per-
sons, it is not uncommon to see during
the busy hours, when workmen are
going to and from the factories, thirty
five to forty people packed in and the
bus going at full speed"

wonders to bring the motor truck into
its own. No test which could have
been given it in business could possibly
have been so severe as the labor it was
put to in the war. And everywhere it
proved to be most reliable method of
transportation.
I'VE know that business men with
hauling problems have been watching
