flow Cost Ton Mile"
of Garford Origin

A new phrase which defines accurately
the standard for determining the service
capabilities of the motor truck, is finding
It's way into general usage.
This phrase lis Low cost ton mile II
originated with the Garford Motor Truck
Company and was recently given to the
pubiic-at-large IN full page advertisement
in national periodicals OF broad c:rcula-
ton.
No words could sum up more definitely
the dependable performance OF a motor
truck than do these. In combination they
give the motor truck owner a comprehcn-
sive standard by which he may rate the
amount of work his truck or trucks are
doing in direct ratio to his investment
Numerous factors enter into figuring
Tow cost ton mile" There is the origina.
investment, the cost of operation involv-
ing the consumption OF gasolene and oil
and the wages of the operator. the cost
of upkeep. the amount OF tonnage hauled
on each trip and the distance travelled.
Many elements are to be considered in
the original investment. There is the de-
sign and construction of the motor truck.
the quality Of materials used, the process
OF manufacture and the standards or work
manshp. Added TO these are the maun-
These elements naturally have a direct
bearing also upon the cost Of operation
and the cost OF maintenance.
Working upon the theory that ultimate
costs and not initial costs should be given
first consideration the Garford Motor
Truck Company has, since its inception,
produced trucks designed 10 give the ma x

Oversize Bearings
in National Sextet

Exceptional resistance 20 wear is sttrio-
uted to tho new high efficiency overhead
valve engine of the new National Sextet
through the use OF greatly oversize bear
ings throughout the design, an improved
system of pressure fabrication and er-
tremely fine workmanship, insuring accu-
rate alignment.
That the larger a bearing tho less Its
load per square inch OF surface. and con-
sequently the less It's wear. is a fact 50
obvious as 10 require no elaboration.
In the National Sextet Il IL sta ted that
the bearings are so large that they VIII
withstand successfully the most severe
punishment that an owner can give them,
with impcrceptibie wear over long periods
OF use. An idea OF tlc relative s.zc OF
inc National bearings may be gained by
comparing their diameter 10 that Of tha
cylinders. The crnnkshaft bearings, for
instance, measure eih inches In diameter
az against cylinder diameter Of ~
inches; in fact, their diameter is I0i per
cent or cylinder bore. Distributing the
force Of the cylinder explosions over such
a large surface leads logically to but one
conclusion, reduced wear and consequent
increase IN bearing life.

Largest Exposition of Commercial We

Worth Visiting, Despite Distance.

The fact that the National Commercial
Conference. in session in the Eight Coast
Artillery -Armory. Jerome avenue and
kingsbride road Bronx, is a trifle re-
moved from the Great White Way, should
not prevent people engaged in the various
lines OF business which require motor
methods. from making the effort to visit
It.
1t is by far the largest and most COM
plete commercial exhibit ever held in the
world and never before have these modern
carriers had ample space for proper dis
play. The Eight Coast Artillery Arnory
is the largest building in the United States.
IL not in the world, with such vast
ground floor unsupported by pillars. This
unbroken space, containing nearly 1850
ssquare feet, makes an ideal setting for
all classes OF commercial vehicles from
the three-auarter ton TO the ten tonners
'and they are all represented.
In the same building are other inn
inense rooms where the show manage
ment has arranged to hold daily trans
portation and better highway conference.
An interesting programme has been ar
ranged for each day this week. The first

| Automobile manufacturers declared yes

AS matter Of fact, il is declared by
Alfred Reeves, general manager of the

Imerce, to which about one hundred and
twenty-five leading passenger and COM
merclal automobile manufacturers of the

Iceptions the members have already taken

who may have been lax. but he declares
the legal committee Of the Chamber will
carry their claims 10 the highest court
and certainly win out ii there Is an in
arrangement in other countries.
There is no reason for alarm concern
ing the rumor," said Mr.. Reeves. such
methods have been tried before and with
out success. There are perhaps four or
five members OF the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce who have not
taken care of their foreign registration.
but a great majority OF the big manufac-
turers are well protected.
THE National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce has an excellent legal depart
ment to take care of the interest OF it's
members in just such matters. Amy mem
Der whose trade mark or patent rights
lare infringed will have the expert legal
aid and the matter will be taken to the
highest court if H. becomes necessary.
Manufacturers outside of the Chamber
will be able to obtain their rights through
legal aid and Washington To avoid any
fuss. however. it would be well for them
to register their trade marks at once il
they contemplate engaging in the export
trade"
