buyers and competitors alike. Within
the past year the correctness of our
principle has been eloquently acclaimed
bs countless limitations and to-day the
principle has been even more eloquently
acclaimed by the ultimate judge--the
truck user himself--as the production
figures for the first quarter OF the year
clearly prove. We manufacture but a
single model; but with that one model
we are building more trucks than any
other manufacturer-whet he have
one or r dozen models.
Il would not attempt to forecast the
future But this I will say. We shall
not voluntarily relinquish the position
of dominance We have thus far acquired.
To maintain that position, we must in
crease our truck output to keep pace
with the constantly increasing demand
and even now our production Is running
more than 80 per cent. stronger than the
record figures for the first quarter.
with all that, II must not be sup
posed that we intend to abandon the
passenger car field. War conditions.
and our feeling of what was due from
us to our country in war time, curtailed
our passenger car production for the
past twelve months. That curtallment
was temporary. We purpose to build
more passenger automobiles In the
twelve months beginning August l, 1919,
than IN any similar period in the his
tory of this company"

Mr.. scotts statement. which is based

Stores Doing Big business.

Just as was forecast by one OF the
directors of the keystone Tire and
Rubber Company. the drop in the price
of tires has had a tendency to increase
the business OF keystone stores.
Not only is .he distribution OF tires
greater than ever from the headquarters
at Broadway and Sixty second street.
but the Batavia factory also is working
at full speed to turn out the necessary
number of tires required to fill all tho
orders.
Tho latest addition to this popular
and successful company is the OPEN

Portland. Ore. This will be n distrib-
utng point for Keystone and Batavia
tires. and also twenty-one makes OF
tire seconds which are now distrib-
Ited by this company.
1t is estimated that the branch in
Portland, Ore. alone will add $4,000
TO the volume of tho Keystone business.
The Keystone Company plans to have

ROUTE OF WEEK END
TOUR TO WATER GAP
Present Road Conditions In
vestigated by A. A. A.
Touring Bureau.

Every automobiles. plans tour to
Delaware Water Gap at least once a
season. To check UP on the very latest
road conditions l.. A. Dickinson OF the
touring bureau of the American Automo-
bile Association, sol Fifth avenue, has
just made the trip. and reports that
there is little to be desired In the way OF
good roads, attractive scenery and salts
factory hotel accommodations.
Leaving New York at the Forty-sec-
ond street ferry, the Lincoln highway Is
followed to Newark, where q left turn
is made into Broad street. At the green
bear right on Clinton avenue to Irving
ton then along Springfield avenue into
Springfield. Here bear right and follow
good macadam road. along which are
located many beautiful residences, to
Morristown.
The direct road between Morristown
and Danville Is under construction at
present, but a very satisfactory detour
over good maoadam IL provided via
Parsippany. From this point the route
leads almost due west through Dover
and Kenvil to Nctcong, then swings
around and runs In a northerly direction
through Andover to Newton, where a
stop is made for luncheon.
Continue north to Branchville and
then northwest through very pretty
wooded country to Layton then down a
long but easy grade on newly constructed
Delaware at Dingmans. Here begins
an unusual scenic stretch Of good hard
road, running for many miles along the
west side Of the Delaware to fitting
elimination in. the Justly famous Water
Gap. A number of very good hotels
are situated here, but on account Of the
demand for accommodations the wise
tourist win make his reservations in adj
vance to avoid the possibility of disap-
pointment.
tie very best views OF the Gap are
obtained just after starting on the re-
turn trip, for here the road winds down
along the side of the mountain, AFFORD
ing vistas of the Delaware winding
through the gorge between steep noun
tains.
The only poor stretch Of road on the
entire trip Is Just after crossing the So
called ministers Bridge" at Delaware.
Here there Is a four mile stretch of
rough dirt which becomes very muddy
in wet weather, but is always passable.
After this the road is winding but un-
mistakable through Buttsville and
Vienna to Hackettstown.
After leaving Hackettstown there Is
a long climb over Schooley's Mountain
followed by swift drop to the town of
Long Valley. formerly known as Ger
man Valley. The road over the noun
tain has recently been resurfaced and
banked on the sharp turns. SO that II
has now lost all of it's former terrors
and is really enjoyable.
Just before reaching Chester turn
sharp right and run through Gladstone
TO Far Hills. Here turn left at the old
fair grounds and shortly beyond turn
sharply to the right at the station. From
this point an excellent macadam road is
followed through the valley of the Pas
sale River to Summit and Springfield,
thence. back to New York via Newark
