TRANSFORMATION
 COSTS AFFECTED
 BY DEPRECIATION

In line with lower transportation costs, perha S nothing has more to do with the subject than car pro- lection. according to Donald Dun bar, of the Metropolitan Fireproof Storage Garage. '"The fact that the public can now rent Ford cars for one cent per minute is proof posi- tive that transportation costs are being lowered" he declared. This is possible by reason Of several things. and one of these is that de- preciation must be hold off through the propec care of the car. The biggest cause of deprecation is ex- posture to the weather, and the Metropolitan Fireproof Storage Ga- rage had this in mind when it built it's mammoth establishment for the care of cars. Attention to the equip ment of the car while in storage is vitally necessary and is one of the features of the Metropolitan

TRANSFORMATION COSTS COMING
 DOWN RUDOLPH

@The cost of transportation these days has more to do with the cost of living than any other one thing, , stated Ed Rudolph several days ago. "Take the matter of freight for in stance, it's high cost and long de- lays. Then consider the cost of ope- rating the motor trrck for short hauls. While it is much more econo- mical than the freight car. still it's cost is more than it should be.
 'aThe cost of passenger transpor- tation is also higher than it would be in the near future. Cars are going to be made lighter, stronger, more durable and less expensive to replace. When I state that thesa are some of the reasons why Ford has stuck to the light car and has standardized on one chassis, my meaning will be seen. Only through such standard ization has it been possible to pro- duce car and truck that will do the immense amount of work they will do and still hold up under it. The use of the best steel is possible only through the utilization of vast quan- titles of it. Ford could not afford to produce such genuinely good cal or truck if forced to go into the mar ket and buy steel in small quantities The best and the best. only is, there fore put into Ford cars.
 aAnother economy reached only by standardization is the saving in labor There is no Juggling around tryins to make this part go in place ant that part fit here. Everything Is cut and dried, so to speak. and every mans work is second nature to him Thus wastage in labor is eliminated

 Manufacturers have bored holes in the frames of cars for the install lation of Gabriel SnubbcTs. They ksve recognized this snubher as the nest efficient on the market. The difference it makes ir the riding qualities can hardly be imagined ln- less one has ridden in a car equlp- ped with them.
 'The Fords used by the Ford Liv- erv are being equipped with Gapr!ei Snubbers, thus adding greatly to the pleasure and comfort the patrons will receive from them. The price Of a set of four gabriel snubbers IS so low that any car owner can affof to have a set put on his car. The saving in wear and tear alone q a years time will more than pay the cost of them, besides the saving in energy consumed trying to stick 10 the seat of a car over a bunpy roac-

with it's consequent saving in price to the purchaser of the car.
 T might go indefinitely" stated Mir. Rudolph, showing the reasons why standardization has had so much to do with the enormous success of the Ford organization. But suffice it is to say that by reason of it. Ford has become the .'Universal Car" and is today found in every country on the globe. Economy of transpor- tation is vitaIly necessary in this age People cannot waste the time amb- ling about on foot when they should be riding, and with such service as the Ford Livery has inaugurated five passengers can take a Ford cal and travel around all day at a cost to each of about one dollar. Can you beat 1t? This would not be possible with a car other than a Ford. ] firmly believe. It merely emphasizes what have said about the results oi standardization and continued effort toward economy"

B|G FORD FLEET
 WILL RIDE ON
 MILLER TIRES

Miller tires have been selected by the Ford Livery as exclusive tire equipment on the fleet of cars ope- rated by this firm. This selection was made after many days of inves- tsgation and from previous exper- iesce with Miller tires. We are certain that we have the best tires money can buy" asserted George Moody, one of the proprietors of the Ford Livery. ''One reason why we selected Millers is the fact that nothing but long staple cotton is used in the fabric which goes into these tires. and we are willing to gamble on the worth of fabric of this char acter in the tires we use."
 The fact that Mile. tires are rep resented in Phoenix with a full fledged factory branch is also an in surance against inconvenience to dealers and all motorists who use Miller tires.

PACIFIC COAST LAYS PLANS
TO INCREASE FOREIGN TRADE
Start Excursions of Business Men to Mexico
and the Orient.

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-There is
hope. coupled with indications, of a
fairly prompt improvement in for
eign trade from the Pacific Coast.
particularly with Mexico. Certain
far-seeing missionaries of COM
merce, however, are asking them
selves and their friends whether
the new foreign trade is going to
be haphaZard like the old; whether
American business men are going
to be passed in the race by other
nations.
The Pacific Coast ports are the
channels for a vast amount OF i'm
ports and exports; and the problem
is OF vital interest to them as we'll
as to the producers and consumers
Of the East. The great trouble here
in the past has been a complete
and usually contented ignorance of
the foreigners viewpoint. We have
preferred our own ways-and right
ly, because they are the better-but
we have overlooked the foreigners
inclination to buy according to his
established customs. And he usu-
pie who humored him.
In China. for example. the bulk Of
the population is illiterate. For a
long time an American packer ex-
ported a certain brand of fish to
China. 1t was a good fish and the
cans bore a red label. Hence to the
Coolie red labels meant good fish
And then the exporter changed the
color of the label to a lighter shade
of red. That particular shade of
red did not mean good fish to the
coolie; and if fish is not good, why
buy il? Nobody did. 1t cost a lot
of money to find that out.
Foreign Trade Excursions.
Now a series of foreign trade ex-
cursions has been started by G. Mar
shall Dill. chairman of the foreign
trade committee of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce. His
idea is fast gaining popularity.
The first excursion was to Mexico
and it was a complete success. A
special train filled with San Fran
cisco business men and their fami-
lies started for the South a few
weeks ago. They stopped a day or
two at several important Mexican
towns Al the CdplIdl lney were en-
tertained by the president and Mrs.
ObregOn.
There was a great deal of hand
shaking. Doubtless several oppor-
tunities were enjoyed for register
ing protests against prohibition
And il would not be surprising If
there was a bullfght or two thrown
in for good measure. Superficial, OF
course. But it gave those business
men a different idea of Mexico than

high record, of monthly incorpora-
ti0ns reported in October, 1919, of
$2,363.635, 200. The decrease shown,
therefore, is only natural, particu-
larly on account of the continued
liquidation in various branches of
business or trade. and the fact that
complete readjustmeRt in all lines
of industry has not yet been ef-
fected.
The following are the compara-
tive figures, as specially compiled

any they had before. They have
first-hand knowledge now. Nothing
else can take the place of that. And
a direct contact has been estab-
lished. There has been laid the
foundation of a real understanding.
Plans Tour of the Orient.
Mr.. Dill is making plans for a
1OO-day tour Of the Orient. II Is
proposed to charter one of the new
Shipping Board vessels. The cost
per passenger is to be about $40 a
day. There will be accommodations
for 225.
The itinerary provides for a two
day stop at Honolulu, five days at
Yokohama, side trips to Tokyo and
other nearby cities; visits to Kyoto
Osaka and Kobe, giving about ten
days in Japan altogether; FIVE days
in Shanghai, with visits to Pekin
and other cities; a week in Java;
two days at Singapore; another two
day stop at Saignon; then back to
the China coast with one day for
Canton and five for Hongkong, and
a week at Manila on the way home
In the meantime the California
Industries Association is arranging
an excursion to Mexico City and the
principal West Coast ports of Mex
leo. 1t will be limited TO business
men-no families. That will be the
first excursion to Investigate trace
possibilities between the West Coast
of Mexico and the West Coast of
the United States.
MethodicnI Plans Laid.
The idea is taking root in the
Pacific ports that America must do
in a few years what other nations
have taken generations to accom-
plish. Production must be main
tained and the surplus must be mar
keted IN other countries. This can
not be successfully done by hap
hazard methods. so business men
are laying methodical plans by get
ting acquainted with prospective
customers abroad.
These trade excursions are i'm
mensely popular, and it would not
be surprising to see the chambers of
commerce in other ports following
San Francisco's example.
An interesting example of the
rising public interest in shipping
and foreign trade generally was af-
fOrded on the waterfront a few days
ago. The Pacific Mail held a public
reception on it's new steamer Creole
State, which has just arrived here
In two days 10000 persons visited
the ship. And for another two
days. when no count was kept. the
crowds continued to come in spite
of a heavy dOwnpoUr of rain.
When the revival of foreign trade
does come the Pacific Coast will at
least be better prepared for it than
ever before.
