In speaking of this shock absorber which may be somewhat new to Phoenix, J. A. Shaulis, manager or the Western Auto Supply company, says:

26 hours elapsed time. D. Gerard Chessman, southern California dis tributor for the Haynes, had the fol- lowing to say regarding the remark able run:
 The party left Oakland pier at z o'clock on the morning of April and made Corning, Calif., for the first night. The roads as far as Corning were found to be in splendid condi- ton, so with no trouble to the car they departed from Corning the next morning at a chicken rising hour and hit the road for Medford, arriving there in time for supper and bed.
 ''The run from Medford to Portland was made in one day, leaving Med ford at o'clock Sunday morning, April 3, and reaching the Multnomah hotel, Portland, by 9:30 D. m. Benell and his companions believe there is mo reason why tourists desiring to visit Oregon should defer their trip, awaiting better weather, as many people are coming and going over the worst stretches. The Haynes came through in good condition and, after a wash, looked as good as new. The car averaged 16 miles to the gallon for the entire trip"

SAYS SECRET IF SUCCESS FOUND
 TO bE SERVICE

"Tvhe secret of success in the pres ent day tire merchandising is in serv- ice," declares A. s. Hogan, service manager for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California
 Only those organizations that make a fine art of service, of making their customers satisfied customers, so that they will come back regularly for
 their requirements, may hope to gain more than a drift tide share of busi- ness.
 sTime was when merchants who displayed more than passing inter
 est in customers, after making a sale, were termer commercial idealists- To- day every great business enterprise worthy of the name flourishes on a foundation of service born of expert knowledge and skilled workmanship.
 ''The ideah sa come to stay, that tire users may come to their deal CTS for advice, help and service; that a dealers obligation to his customer
 only begins with the sale of tire and
 ends only when that tire has rolled it's last mile.
 "The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of California has capital ized this idea in the establishment of service stations throughout the west for the benefit of tire users, so little by little the motoring public has come to associate Goodyear with service. Tn adopting such policy this l company has steeped itself in tht spirit of Charles Goodyear, dream l CT with his feet on rock, who liveo | his whole life in quest of the vul- canization secret-that he might bs of service to his own and future gen. | erationS.
 "The cost of distribution of tires 1 has always been a substantial par ] of the cost to consumers. In the early | days the cha nnels For distributors 1 were limited. Cars were used II man yplaces where tires and acces- socies could not be secured. Tire costs | were necessarily high. But the new l service idea has sin,piified all this | for as the industry developed mor'
 and more car dealers became interest l d in selling tires and accessories ant l rendering adequate service. "We have always reserved for our selves the privilege of selecting ou l own representatives to render thl l sryice, and have built up relations with dealers upon the representation that we do everything possible to en

 Traction authorities today regard the motor bus as a valuable ally" says Robert O. Patten, truck sales manager of the Pierce Arrow com pany. By running buses in streets parallsling street car lines. congestion in rush hours is avoided. Equally successful is their use in tapping newly developed sections, for it is costly matter to acquire new street cars, new trolley poles and wire. and new tracks at about S75,000 a mile. Then. too, the motor bus solves the problem of handling circus day, bah game and other unusual crowds.
 'In cities where trolley companies have added motor buses to their equipment, experience has shown that the bus service is comparable in headway, speed, earnings and econ omy of operation to the trolley serv- ice"
