Analysis Indicates Small Trucks Lead
 In Price Raises

The motor truck industry in 1920 exceeded the 1919 production of motor trucks by 43,000 vehicles. giving a total of 34S,000 trucks. The greatest single factor in making the 1920 production of trucks greater was the tremendous increase in the manufacture of small speed trucks of three quarter to one ton capacity. In previous years trucks of one ton capacity and under general ly did not exceed so per cent of the total production: but in 1920 almost T5 per cent of all the trucks made were of one ton capacity and under Speed wagons of the Rec and Oldsmobile ne are perhaps the best examples of
 lis classification of vehicles which 1Ns had a very wide sale during the paSt year, on account of it's ability to be used economically in practically all classes of light haulage work Of course, the Ford one-ton truck, of which approximately 150,000 were pro- duced in 1920 has aiso had very important bearing on the increased production of the small, light weight, speedy trucks as compared with the heavier vehicles up to five and seven and one-half tons in capacity.
 According to an analysis made by The Commercial Vehicle the average increased only per cent up to Jan unrv 1. 1921, as compared with Jan .,3srv 1. 1920. Trucks of less than one Ae4f ton capacity increased most in snrice. Trucks Of less than one-half ton capacity have jumped 25 per cent in ,rica Three quarter tonnerS increased 10 ner. cent: one -tonners. 101a per cent end one and one-half tonners, 12.3 per cent.

Ancestry Of Truck
 Makers Full Of
 Ups And DolUns

According to set of statistics there have been 69S motor truck manufac- turing companies who have entered the business. Of these 69S, only 259 or 37.1 per cent, are listed as being in busi- ness in 1920. Of the 259 companies listed for 1920
 39 or 151 per cent are new compa- nies in 1920; 67 or 25.9 are less than l year old; 125 or 4S.2 per cent are less than years old; 166 or 64.1 per cent are less than 3 years old; 1s4 or II per cent are less than years old; 197. or 76 per cent are less than 5 years old.
 Of the 439 manufacturers who dis continued business, some lacked capi- nomical manufacture, many rushed on to capitalize the demand for motor trucks without equipment or without previous experience, and some found that they lacked the resources and or ganization necessary to fulfill the moral obligation to provide the service facili ties which attended each truck sale.
 Of these 439 manufacturers who are no longer in business
 2S9 or 65.7 per cent lasted less than 1 year; A or 16S per cent lasted less than 2 years; 26 or 5.9 per cent lasted less than 3 years; 14 or 3.2 per cent lasted less than years; 13 or per cent lasted less than years.
 Motor trucks are an investment. Rightly used, they should earn divi- dends large enough and long enough to write themselves off the books and then make clear profit. The investor in bond is as keenly interested in the soundness and stability of the is suer as he is in the terms of the bond. So the purchaser of truck should be interested in the permanence and sta- bility of the maker.

MOTOR TRUCK RIDES RAILS
 IN LOUISIANA

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 13.-> tSpeciaD-A motor truck has replaced a passenger train of the New Or leans & Lower Coast railway on the 60-mile run from A1giers to Dura, La.
 The new train" on a regular and standard truck chassis, has steel Hanged wheels for the rails and car body built in the railroads workshop. There is a "cowcatcher'' in front and an automatic coupler, for hauling trailers in back.
 The locomotive truck also has its own heating and electric lighting sys- tenn. It has been calculated that the truck has been saving about 25 per cent of the ordinary railroad service cost.

SAR[ES ADDED
 TO BIC LIST

INDIANAPOLIS, March 12-(Spe- cial)-Roscoe Sarles who is always a contender in speed events. especially on the Pacific coast, will take another whirl on the wheel of fortune in his native state by virtue of his entry in the ninth international 800 mile sweep stakes race to be held at the Indiana polls motor speedway, Monday, May 90.
 It was only few years ago. as mere youth, that Sarles was promoting and piloting cars in race meets over the half mile tracks at county fair grounds in Indiana. He was confident he would graduate to the big league of racing and within a short time was rid ing with several of the best drivers as mechanician.
 Then he got car of his own and went right out and made good. Prob ably no other driver has taken so many spills as Sarles and come out of the melee smiling and unhurt.
 Sarles halls from Lafayette, Ind. just a hop-step- and jump from the In dianapolis motor speedway, and the home folks flock in droves to see their native son flirt with fame over the bricks of the historic speed course of the Hoosier capital. But something always happens and many believe he is jinxed in his home state-but he always gives the natives a run for their money while he is in the race.
 Two years ago Barney Oldfield thought so well of Sarles that he nom mated him to pilot his Golden Subma- rine" but before the race was well un- der way broken cam shaft put the car and Sarles out of the running.
 In the event last May Sarles drove three of Louis Chevrolet's creations. The one in which he started the race went out with a broken steering knuckle, but Sarles brought it to a standstill on the green beside the track on the back stretch without a scratch and after deciding that the car could not be repaired in time to reenter the competition he ran across the infield to the pits and climbed into another car that was making a short stop at the pits.
 This car went in the ditch within a few laps but Sarles came to bat again and with some marvellous driving put the car on the side lines without injury. Then he had the nerve to enter the race as a relief driver for one of his team mates.
 In a road race in California Sarles swerved his car off the course and hurdled wall of sandbags to avoid hitting a woman and child who were crossing the track. Thrills have played a great part in his racing life. But off the course he is gentle and unas- stunning. He is married and his wife is his companion on all his racing ex- petitions.
 Sarles will pilot Duesenberg in the coming race.

Sabra Says Credit
 Plan Working We'll

John Sabra, manager of the Coates Tire house, in talking over the gen eral business situation, states that the new credit plan of his concern is work ing out admirably. "We were eau toned by many before putting the plan into operation Sabra stated. that it would not be a success. However. we have many prominent individuals and firms on our books, as a result of the plans and it is working out just as We expected it would.
 ''The average man who needs tires doesn't always have $40, $50 or s60 handy to pay out on the spot, and as has had to buy old rebuilt tires or second grade products when he knows he is not getting value for his money. Many have found relief from this condition by using our. serv- ice along this line. and have thus equipped with first class high grade tires. I want to say that this credit policy of ours is appreciated

 After considering several proposi- tions in the automobile field here.

The service fea- lures and capacity of the distributors on these lines also appealed to me"

AIR TAXI CHEAP
 IN GREAT BRITAIN

It costs about as much to take an airplane in London as il does to ride in a New York taxi.
 That's the calculation Of Prof. F. P. Warner of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the national advisory committee for aero nautics.
 "The charge in England for an air taxi" says Warner, Ifs A cents a mile for two persons. and an airplane can usually be had at an hours notice.
 That is approximately the same as riding by taxi in New York"

Particularly is this so in the Ford sizes, the Braendcr brtng a very large tire of great air capacity for use on Ford cars.

in view of the new evidence furnished by the Rec Motor Car company, none of which had been before any higher court on the former appeal-the circuit court of appeals has just decided not only that the Rec mechanism does not infringe the Barber patent, but that the patent itself is invalid.
 There being no appeal possible from that decree, the litigation is prob ably now at an end. for the only case still in court Is the Michigan suit gainst the Rec Motor Car company of Lansing which will doubtless be dis missed
