FRENCH MANUFACTURER
TO MAKE CHEAP CARS

Automobile France is still per-
turbed over the activities Of Andre
Citroen, the automobile manufac-
turer. who. following the war. an
nounced the turning over OF his
enormous munitions factory in Paris
to the manufacture OF a cheap car,
Of which he prepared to produce 100
per day.
The Citroen car is the nearest ap-
proach Of any French manufacturer
to a Ford, but the Citroen does not
quite measure up to Ford capacity.
It Is a satisfactory light car for two
passengers, but general sentiment is
that it is not suitable as a four
seated car.
There is no denying the fact that
Citroen has had a very marked in
fuence on the automobile industry
in France. One example Is that of
Advertising.
When Citroen came out with his
large advertising program he got
away from the old French view of
advertising. This advertising made
q strong appeal and Citroen has been
able to get in heavy deposits at the
rate OF 1000 francs or $3.50 per car
This Is a particularly heavy deposit,
when the reported profit that a
dealer makes from the sale OF a car
is 900 francs or $13O.-Automotive

CITY HAUEAGE IS

After reading the widespread dis

"As anyone knows, the E'ouping to-

restricted area creates a tremendous
problem in the supplying and dis
tribution OF foodstuffs, clcthlng. fur
niture, fuel and all the necessities Of

cities via the railway lines is easily
understood. But there are no private
railways to each warehouse and
wholesaler and retailer and consumer.
So after merchandise reaches the
freight terminals, the real problem
begins.

seen that there has been an enormous
increase in traffic OF this kind, and
that such an increase has BEEN due
solely to the better method OF hauling
materials by shipper and receiver,
which became a reality with the in
of the motor truck.
During my observation I found
that ton after ton Of incoming food
stuffs was moved every day to q

ALL TRUCKS NEED
CONSTANT CARE

Motor trucks need regular atten-
tion. While on a higher plane than
railroad engines in design, construc-
ton and material used, trucks are
given much harder tasks to perform
than the engine -on the rails and re-
quire an equal amount Of attention.
The railway locomotive travels hard
ly more than $50 miles, and then goes
into the roundhouse to be looked over
thoroughly, while careless drivers
will pound the motor truck through
many hundreds Of miles without a
thought Of the necessity Of an in
spection to see that the working
parts are in good order, nuts tighten

for more hard work.
DRIVERS of motor trucks are too
often not engineers" said William
Fulton Melhuish, president Of the Full

Of a motor truck would never abuse

played executive ability and, after

PUBLIC REALIZES
GOOD ROADS VALUE

Public conception of good roads
has undergone a radical change in
the last two years" says Mr.. Pardoe,
of the General Auto Truck Company,
local distributor Of the made-in-Chi-
caEo Master trucks.
prior to the entry Of the United
States into the war, the nonmotoring
public, more often than not, thought
good roads were advocated chiefly for
the use and beneft Of those who own
ed automobiles. There was an incli-
nation generally to look upon such
movements as class legislation, for
people did not believe in lending
their financial and moral support to
good roads laws which provided for
something in which they could see no
direct advantage to themselves.
To-day this conception has changed,
and the change has been brought
about through universal recognition
of the motor trucks value as a means
Of transportation, demonstrated I'M
der the stress of war. War merely
FASTENED what leaders Of the indus
try had seen for years; it furnished
the conditions which enabled the
truck to establish itself as a factor
IN the economic life Of the country.
Motor Trucks Essential
'Nonmotoring citizens no longer
look upon good roads as speedways for
what they once were pleased to term
the motoring aristocracy.' Instead
they have come to a complete realiza-
ton that motor trucks are essential
as factors In transportation and that
good roads are necessary to their ef-
icient operation. Their vision has
broadened; they see the advantages
and benefits which accrue from :
combination Of these factors-bene-
hts which have a direct bearing upon
the economic conditions Of the COM
munity in which they live.
Trucks virtually bring the farm
to the table Of the consumer, with a
consequent decrease in the prices of
food, and, further, those with a keen
er sense Of the future see the ever
expanding range Of possibilities of
the truck and its ally-good roads
