myself. and, to be candid, was amazed at what could be done with it. During the course of a fairly exacting run the most searching test possible was applied, that of slow hill climbing on top gear. A fairly severe hill was found, about three-QuarterS of a mile in length, having a number of hairpin bends and a very bad surface. The climb was begun at two miles an hour, the engine pulling with extraordinary steadiness and sweetness. Little by little the throttle was opened, the car gathering way and sweeping up the hill until the limit of safety was reached. At a higher speed we could not have taken the corners.
 The engine is an example of per feet balance combined with astonish- ing noiselessness. The acceleration from any speed is so rapid that the throttle must be used extremely gin gerly by anyone unfamiliar with the car. It is one of the most inspiriting cars it has ever been my good fortune to drive. The general finish of chaS sis and coachwork is in keeping with its capabilities and price. It is a first class car n every sense of the word"

FEDERAL TRUCK
 COMP PANY PASSES
 DECADE PERIOD

On St. Valentines birthday, F'ebru- ary IA, the Federal Motor truck com pany celebrated it's tenth anniversary only a decade-yet placing this com pany in this comparatively new indus try among the pioneers in the eXclu sive manufacture of motor trucks.
 This is particularly worthy of note when it is considered that during the last six years more than 500 motor vehicle companies have. discontinued operations. Of the 109 truck builders listed in 1911 the Federal is one of the IS companies still manufacturing This gradual shrinkage in the number of motor truck manufacturing companies has taken place despite the constantly increasing demand for more trucks. As in most new industries there has been a natural process of elimination through the early years. The passage of this period finds the Federal stron- ger and bigger than ever.
 Since the Federal motor truck com pany began the manufacturing of trucks in the days when trucks were considered a novelty rather than a ne cessity, this company has produced $50, 100000 worth of trucks. It is one off the few companies which has come down through the first decade of the industry without reorganization and without financing.
 It has played a tremendous part in the popularization of the truck as an essential branch of transportation-so essential that at the present time it is not expected that the output of trucks this year will meet the demand, owning to the many uses to which the motor truck has been put in recent years.
 "Our mammoth sales represent nothing more than the reward to the fidelity of the directors and officials of the company in following the highest and best principles in motor truck production" declared M. l.. Pulcher, vice president and general manager of the company. "The business and engineering principles were right, else such confidence would not have been placed in the trucks which are merely the physical embodiment of such prin- ciples
 "Tse essence ef success today, in this as in any business, is contained in the belief that giving the greatest value in years of service, always in the long run, wins with the public"

TRUCK MEN WELCOME THE HORSE CAMPAIGN

We welcome the efforts of those who are interested in the horse as a source of power for hauling, to replace the facts before the public" says R. F. Chamberlain, freight transportation manager of the Packard Motor Car company. Detroit. "If they can prove the horse to be a more economical, de- pendable and reliable source of power than the motor truck for the transpor tation of freight, this company prob ably will abandon the manufacture of motor trucks and venture into the horse breeding field.
 "Other than placing the facts as to cost and operating data of our motor trucks before American business men, it is not our intention to combat the move of the horse interests. We are selling transportation, not trucks. When we go to a prospective customer, we first make survey of his business. That survey and an analysis of it de- termineS the answer as to the cuSto- mer's transportation needs. The an swer is not always more trucks, our trucks, or any trucks at all. In more than one instance we have recom mended encouragement in present transportation systems resulting in the elimination of one or more trucks. or the addition of a horse, or some loading or unloading device.
 Tn the course of our trans portation luN NeSllSdlIOIlS we OI course nave IOunQ many business men using horses and trucks. In a very large majority of these instances we have found that costs on horses and wagon equipment have been improperly kept so that they appear much less than they really should be. WDe put these facts before the prospective buyer. We also put all the facts as to motor truck costs before him, as well as the work the horse and truck will do. He gets the ton mile answer in both cases and that is the final answer.
 50 that the public will really bene- fit from the efforts of the horse in terests, this company suggests that all facts be made known. Let the horse people disseminate real horse costs; we are doing the same for both trucks and horses. Then the prospective buy CT of transportation will get the true picture.
 We commend the purpose of the horse breeders. We hope they will put forth every fair effort, then prove exactly where the horse is cheaper, as a source of freight transportation power. We will be glad to cooperate with their representatives in cases of transportation installation

PREPARE FOR RECORD
 DEMAND OF TIRES

AKRON. O., Feb. 2S.-Tire manufac- turers of this city, who produce more than 50 per cent of the tires of the world, are looking forward to an lffl- precedented demand for tires.
 Experts of the local chamber of com- merce place the number that will bc wanted annually at S0,000,000 tires, for pleasure vehicles and motor trucks. The output at present for the United States is about 45,600.000.
 Based upon figures of automobile makers that during the present year, 100000 pleasure cars and between 350.000 and 100000 auto trucks will be produced, the experts estimate at least 5000. coo tires will be required for 1920.
 The city of Akron, has grown be- yond capacity due to the increase in rubber manufacture here The ratio of industrial workers to the whole population is much larger here than in other cities because large number of men have come here for work, who could not bring their families along because of a shortage of houses.

The British government has decided to step on the oil profiteers. Gasoline sells for 72 cents a gallon over there. The government intends to force the price down to 62 cents And we kick at 25. The Automobile Club of Southern California has gone into statistics and has figured out that there are 99 tons of auto guide signs on the highways of its territory, and that the organi- zation has erected 6G,133 enameled signs which, if laid end to end. would reach from Los Angeles to Santa Bar bara, a distance of 99 miles. American motor cars and trucks are even reaching into China. Shanghai, Tientsin and Pekin will soon see the displacement of the jinricksha by the automobile.
 People who wonder how poor France will get along while burdened by war debt and taxation might be relieved some by the information that 100000 autos will be produced there, against 30,000 in 1914.
 More than 6,0OO,0 ,000 vehicles of all classes now use the ferries crossing the Hudson River, annually, with the
 
 bering all types but the two-horse truck.
 After looking over the wares of the auto manufacturers and the producers of access sorieS, at the auto shows of the country, these facts are brought out:
 Car and truck prices are going to be raised.
 Deliveries will be slow for the next few months.
 Every effort vii be made by the manufacturers to place their plants on a pre-war basis.
 Shortage of labor and the steel and coal strikes retarded the making and delivery of cars and trucks, also af- fected their prices.
 Present day buyers of cars and trucks want utility and sturdiness rather than mere beauty.
 The war caused thousands of per- sons to learn how to operate cars and trucks.

performing a service. It becomes a carrier and is earning its cost of op eration with interest as time saver
 we know from actual records that ninety per cent of all Maxwells sold are delivering service daily that is saving owners money and time. It may be true that due to the economy of the Maxwell it has a larger pro- portion of owners who use their car for service, but we do believe that eighty per cent of automobiles built are used for business more than for pleasure. So let's give the automo- bile its just due and call it a pas senger car.''

SHAUL|S ADVANCES
 NEW SELLING IDEA

Probably the best way to get motor ists to spend money in an establish ment is to save them money, according to J. A. Shauflis. sales manager of the Western Auto Supply company, and that can be done by recommending the best of goods to them.
 "One of the greatest services we render to our patrons is to give them an article which will stop great deal of their motor troubles,'' MT. Shauflis says, "and furnish much additional power and affect a saving in gas, oil and repair bills which to some might seem too good to be true. The best way to accomplish those results is to equip their cars with Peerless Piston rings.
 We have tried many makes Of rings in an endeavor to get simple fool proof, durable article which would truly perform the function of a real seal or packing for the piston. We have kept accurate account of the re- suits, based on the experience of many hundreds of mechanics and auto own CTS, and of course do not have to theor- ize or guess at results.
 'It is often said that the simple things are the best, and that surely has direct application to Peerless rings, for we find that whether it be a high school boy or a trained me-. chanic or engineer, all are immediately convinced of the merits of this article.
 "In keping with the rapid growth of this department we have found it ne- cessary to add an expert piston ring man who will give expert advice on motor needs and motor troubles. He will help get sizes right and save much trouble and expense by a proper an swer to practical questions"

That automobiles are still designated as pleasure cars" too often is the contention of R. D. Roper.
