all sorts of materials and supplies
every day in the year.
These trucks, because they are
mounted on pneumatic tires, are
capable of high speed. The Odds IS
also equipped with starting and
lighting system so that there is no
delay in that respect.
1.-THE average loads hauled by
motor trucks in quick delivery serv-
ice is about a ton or a little more,
according to figures gathered by
truck experts in many parts of the
country. There is a great degree of
waste necessitated by the use of
large units in hauling average
loads. When a heavy truck is not
loaded to capacity there is waste
because it takes considerable gaso-
line and oil and labor to haul an
empty truck through the streets.
1.-The demand for the Oldsmobile
economy truck is increasing day by
day and by the time spring comes
around there will be a shortage
From present indications 1920
promises to be one of the greatest
in the history of the industry, and
trucks will be in huge demand.

GOODYEAR COMPANY
ISSUES BOOKLET ON
AUTOMOBILE RACING

Automobile racing numbers its
followers by the thousands, so
great is the attraction of 10O-mile-
an-hour speed. Baseball, football
and other major sports have their
wild-eyed fans, but to thousands
of people in the United States there
is no greater fascination than the
fenced oval, snorting, distance
destroying racers. dirt and oil
smeared drivers, the aCrid odor of
burning castor oil and the gaily
bedeCked and thrll-loving crowd.
These have an attraction of their
own.
one of the most interesting de-
scriptions of automobile racing in
all its qualifications is contained in
the handsome booklet just issued
by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company. Starting with dedica-
ton to the daring drivers, who by
their racing have contributed to the
advancement of automobile devel-
opment, the booklet gives a resume
of the 1919 racing season, describ-
ing all the important races and
the thrills accompanying each.
The place of racing in automo-
mile development, how racing tires
are made and the terrific condl-
lions under which they are used
the wonderful timing apparatus
seldom seen, but in which men
work with demoniacal energy, to
save precious moments for the cars
and drivers are WILDLY described.

THE PAIGE CLIMBS
PLENTY RANGES IN
NEW SOUTH WALES

From far-off Australia comes the
report of a bit of mountain climb
ing of a Paige car that not only
establishes a record, but was deem
ed of sufficient importance to re-
ceive special mention in the news
papers. Walter Whitbourn, the
Paige representative in Melbourne,
New South Wales, is the driver
who piloted the car and won for it
new distinction for power, sturdi-
ness and reliability.
Mr.. Whitbourn's trip was to the
summit of the Plenty ranges sur
mounting the city of Melbourne,
and the Herald of that city, re
counting Mr.. Whitbourn's adven-
lures, said that the intrepid driver
had been warned before starting
that no car had yet succeeded in
mounting the range.
Before he had advanced very far
on his Journey MIR. Whitbourn real
lied why the feat Of climbing the
range in n motor car had been so
long delayed. when the mountain
track was reached after traversing
what is called the northern road
out Of Melbourne, Whitbourn found
it not only a steep gradient, but in
n very rough condition. An album
dance of scrubby growth and loose
earth made progress very tedious
and difficult,
After two miles of this rough
climbing the Paige reached set

GOODYEAR RUBBER
COMPANY GETS BIG
RECORD SHIPMENT

The largest single shipment of
crude rubber. in the world arrived
in Akron. O.. recently from New
York and was unloaded at the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber COM
pany. 1t would be sufficient TO
supply the world for three days.
The total value of the shipment is
approximately $4,412,200.
The long train of fifty-three cars
stretching nearly half a mile
brought $4,000 pounds of the
commo dity that has made Akron
the rubber center of the world.
The shipment consisted of $3.50
two-hundred pound cases, each
car containing 200 cases.
1t took forty-eight men about
six days to unload the train, and
more than half a million cubic feet
of storage space was required to
accommodate this huge amount of
raw material.
With the arrival of the train in
Akron ended a trip of nearly TO-
900 miles, lasting four months, in
which human, marine and railroad
transportation were utilized.
Some idea of the vastness of
the shipment may be gained when
it is stated that the 100000
pounds of rubber is equal to d
years production from 100000
trees, or from the yield of 10000
acres of plantation.
Although the rubber will be used
for various purposes, it would be
sufficient for the manufacture of
approximately 100000 tires.

STRAIGHT LINE is
PRODUCTION POLICY
FOR NASH FACTORY

"Straisht line" production,
wherein each operation follows
another in logical sequence. and
which has found it's highest express
sion in the automobile industry in
the big Nash factory at Kenosha,
is the thought that is uppermost
in the construction of the new
Nash factory at Milwaukee, now
in process Of erection.
The new Milwaukee plant, which
is to house production of Nash
four-cylinder cars, is a concrete
illustration of the growth of the
Nash Motors company during the
past three years. At the main fac
tory in Kenosha every inch of
available ground is being utilized
in the manufacture of six-cylinder
automobiles and trucks, a number
Of new buildings being in process
of construction. Nash manufac-
turing methods long have been ia
nous in the automobile industry.
C, W. Nash, himself, over a period
of years, has acquired a reputation
as one of the industry's foremost
opponents Of volume production of
value products.
When the plant of the Thomas
b. JeffCry company was taken
over by the Nash Motors company,
straight line" production methods
Immediately were installed; in fact,
one of the reasons Mr.. Nash Sc
lected the Jeffrey plant was be-
cause it lent itself unusually well
to the Encouragement that was
necessary for Nash production
methods.
Departments in the Kenosha fac
tory were relocated, individual ma
chimes We're switched from one
place to another, over a million
dollars worth of new equipment
was added and the whole process
of manufacturing was so laid out
that raw material entered the fac
tory at one end and moved in prac-
tically a straight line through the
plant, leaving as a finished product
With the decision to build new
factory in Milwaukee for the man.
dfacture Of cylinder cars, Mr..
Nash was in a position to lay out
the plant in conformity with his
production methods. Thus, in the
Milwaukee factory of the Nash
Motors company, "lost motion" will

The production of the new fac
tory ultimately will be as large as
the passenger car production of
the Kenosha plant, which, for the
current fiscal year, is scheduled for
40, 600 six-cylinder cars and 5000
trucks,
The new Nash four cylinder car
has undergone series of rigid
tests; it meets with every require

SHlP-BY-TRUCk IS
THE FIREST0NE SLOGAN
ADOPTED OFFICIALLY

Ship by Truck" the slogan
which H. S. Firestone, president of
the Firestone Tire and Rubber
company of Akron originated, and
which the company has given a ma
tional circulation by advertising
and general publicity, has been
adopted by the National Association
of Motor Truck Sales Managers.
The Firestone company's symbol
incorporating the slOgan-a wheel
in motion, with the slogan written
across it--has also been adopted
by the association.
This action of the association,
which is the organization that put
on the national development tour
of motor trucks last summer and
which is recognized as the official
representative of the motor truck
industry, was taken at a Conven-
ton it held recently in Detroit for
the purpose of considering ways
and means of prompting the in
creased use of motor trucks.
According to j. +. Tracey, pres
ident of the association, the action
of the convention means that the
association will concentrate the full
strength of its influence and pres
tige behind the ship by truck
movement.
"A review of the past activities
of your company" he wrote Mr..
Firestone, Indicates excellent re-
suits in the use of the slogan, ship
by-truck,' coupled with the work
of your ship by-truck bureaus
throughout the country.
your ship by-truck' slogan and
the design in which it is incorpo-
rated are looked upon as a most
apt presentation in the briefest
possible form. The three words,
ship by-truck,' constitute, in our
opinion, the keystone of all efforts
that have been made to bring IA
vorabIy to the attention of the peo-
pie of this country the great utility
OF the motor truck.
1--WE realize the intensive and
reaching efforts you have put
behind this movement. With full
knowledge of the strong impression
1t has made upon the commercial
activities of this country, we feel
the idea it conveys has grown even
beyond the limits of your great
company to continue to carry its
message to the extent it warrants.
For the benefit of the industry
and with a belief in the broad
minded policy that actuates your
company, our association asks you
to publicly endow the 'ship-by-
truck slogan to our association, to.
be used by all members, and to be
recommended for use by all indi-
viduals and organizations interested
in motor truck transportation"
In contributing the slogan and
symbol, the Firestone company,

companys ship bureau, isl

You remember way back, when
automobiles were things of awe,
