ers Says Day. sisa

That there is distinct possibility
OF the next five years bringing 3,000,-
200 motor trucks on the highways OF
the nation, is the view of Vance Day.
general sales manager of the General
Motor Truck Company. In substantial
ton of his assertions, he points to
the fact that there are about S,000,-
600 merchants. manufacturers, con-
tractors, farmers and individuals now
doing daily business which demands
some class of hauling.
is it not reasonable to assume"
he asks. that a large percentage Of
these persons are prospects for mo-
tor trucks? The majority Of the
trucks now in use have been sold to
the present owners within the last
five years, and it is within this time
that the motor truck has gained a
real foothold in the freight business
Of the country.
Before 1912 it is a fact that the
average motor truck, as an invest
ment, was questionable proposition.
Only few models were made and the
average person came to regard the
truck as cumbersome thing which
cluttered up the highways and was Of
no possible use to anyone. Again the
service given was not at its best.
Before this time the motor truck max
ers had very few service stations and
these carried a very small number Of
replacement parts.

slt Truck Continue at
- Record Pace. sss..Y

Some indication OF the increased de-
mand for motor trucks and the pres
emit country wide deartb of adequate
transportation facilities is seen in the
announcement BY n. L. Pulcher, vice
president and general manager Of the
Federal Motor Truck company, that
March was the second biggest month

Early last week an entire trainload
Of thirty eight cars. loaded with over
q quarter Of a million dollars worth
of Federals left Detroit for New Eng
land. This huge shipment is to be
divided on arrival in Boston among
Federal distributors in that vicinity.
~Perhaps it is not generally known
that three Of the largest railroads go

against carload shipments. This situa-
ton not only inconvenience manu-
facturers but practically shuts them
off from raw materials except from

MICHIGAN MAN is
LARGEST OWNER OF
BUICK CARS IN u. S.
Ernest Fuller Prefers Older
Models for Every
day Use. *;

Flint, Mich, April 14.-Altnough the
Buick Motor company has shipped
some Of its more than a million cars
to ell corners of the civilized earth,
it is admitted at the factory that so
far as the records go, no private indivi-
dual owns so many Bucks as Ernest
Fuller of Fenton, Mich, fourteen miles
from this city.
When interviewed by the corre-
spondent Mr.. Fuller was seated proud
~ ON the seat Of a 1906 Buick at
tached to a trailer laden with logs
with which to replenish the family
fuel supply. In his garage nearby
three more Bucks of even earlier vint-
age reposed in well-earned retirement.
Il guess they'd all 20 if 1 needed
EN-" declared Fuller.
The 1906 Buick is still serving its
owner regularly, was first sold in
Flint in 1906 and after serving three
other owners passed into the hands of
Fuller in 1915. Nobody knows how
far il has travelled, but 10000 miles
is a conservative guess.
A short time ago Fuller drove into
Flint with his old Buick Model-F TO
buy a ton of coal. He approached
Joe Oaks, q coal dealer.
rHow are you going to haul it,"
asked Joe.
In the rear Of the car" answered
Ernie.
That old bus can't carry it." as
serted Joe.
Cant eh?" was the answer. Well
I'll pay you for ton right now if
you'll let me put in all the coal that
she'll carry
The offer was accepted and Ernest
went back to Fenton with 1900 pounds
of coal in the tonneau of his Buick.
Il don't cars much about what they
call improvements" he declared. /
took 'em all off of one of my Bucks
and she ran a darned sight better.
They're putting too many new tangled
notions on the late ones"

EXPENSIVE PARTS
USED in BUILDING
OVERLAND TOURING
New Models Haze Features
Found Only in Higher
~ Priced Cars. ,s,s

Several features are incorporated in
the new Overland touring car which
are found only in cars selling for a
much higher price, according to 1.
d. Mckee of the San Antonio Over
land company, distributors for South
west Texas.
Zone of these features said Mr..
Mckee, -is the rear axle equipment.
The Overland is constructed with a
sturdy read axle with removable axle
shafts, a departure used today on the
most expensive cars in America.
These shafts can be removed without
disturbing the housing. The quality
of this important unit of the Over
land is enhanced by a liberal use Of
Tinker and New Departure bearings
five of them being used in this part
Of the car, and according TO Over
land engineers there is not another
light car in America that can dupli-
cate this sturdy and expensive con-
struction.
"The differential assembly is forged
in one piece, permitting the use of un-
ually large pinion gears. The drive
and ring gears are of the noiseless
bevel type. In this one piece differ
entail case which is of great strength
there are no bolts to work loose and
no openings for faulty assembly to
throw halves out of alignment through
dirt or other foreign matter working
in between the halves. The superior
design permits two exceptionally large
differential pinions. The Overland
ring gear is also unusually large, of
the spiral bevel type, exactly as in
stalled on the highest priced cars, and
with the accurately cut pinions runs
smoothly. quietly and without trouble

MOTOR OUTPUT OF
3 MILLION IN 1928
APPEARS CERTAIN
Industry Has Best Month
/ in March-346,3S3
Cars Produced. -

New York, n. Y, April 14.-Dur-
ing the month of March 346,3S3 pas
senger cars and motor trucks were
manufactured, according TO reports TO
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. This is the largest months
production in the history of the busi-
ness. as il exceeds by $1,000 the record
production of 2Se,01l made IN June,
1922.
Reports Of shipments made 10 the
directors meeting of the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce also
showed that the production for the
first three months of this year, reach
ing SCI, SOS, is more than double the
same period in 1922.
This confirms the belief that 1928
will be three million year. II is
rot expected, however, that produc-
ton will 20 ahead as rapidly during
the remainder Of the year. 1t is be-
lieved that 100000 is an outside
figure for the 1928 output and this
will depend on favorable conditions Of
the materials market.
Production facilities for the manu-
fscture of closed bodies are inadequate
to the demand and this is likely to
prove a limiting factor.
The extraordinary sales OF cars in
the spring is expected to have its modi-
flying influences toward a quieter con-
dition after the first half of the year,
although the popularity OF closed cars
has tended to stabilize the market for
motor vehicles, creating an all-year
demand. Closed car sales are averag-
ing shout so per cent OF total.
Another favorable indication for the
fall is the fact that rural trade condi-
tons, in the main, are much improv-
ed. Trade reports from Iowa show
that the farm demand for motor We
hicles is so to 800 per cent better than
last year. More cash buyers are re-
ported in Kansas.
Demand for light trucks Is re-
ported good in most sections Of the
country. There is a favorable market
for heavy trucks in Illinois, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and parts of Ohio. as
well as other points where there is
considerable industrial activity.

USE MUCH RUBBER
American Manufacturers Consumed
275,2S5 Tons in 1928.

Three hundred and seventy-five rub
Der manufacturers in the United
States and Canada reported to the
Rubber Association of America that
in 1922 they used 275,2S5 tons of
crude rubber. These figures show that
rubber consumption is still behind
production inasmuch as crude rubber
imports into the United States for
the year amounted TO 290,910 tons. A
large portion of all the rubber prod
ucts goes into tires.
Since the worlds output in 1922
was 36S, 800 tons, it will be seen that
production was considerably ahead of
demand even though restrictive meas
ures had been put into effect to a
certain extent last year,

chaser what model to buy but we also

BIG TIRE OUTPUT
Indications Point TO Production Of
$4,000 in 1928.

It is estimated by one of the large
rubber manufacturers that $1,000 900
tires will be produced in 1923. This
estimate is based upon the total num-
Der of cars in the United States, at
the average consumption a car year,
plus an average of four and one-hak
tires for each new car for 1923.
Last year, 100000 tires were
made. IL the estimate for 1923 proves
correct. manufacturers will produce
100000 more tires this year than
they did in 1922.

Mites are probably becoming

unless properly controlled. Two

For lice dip the flock in Sodium

Grasp the bird by the legs and
wings and dip. Be sure that all
parts of the body are we'll soaked.
Also dip the head Turn the birds

for a nice hot day.
Carbolineum is very satisfactory
in controlling mites. Paint the

WHY TAKE VACATION
Vacations Are Not Dissipa-
tons, But Necessary to
Every Person.

Vacations have become an estab-
lished institution in American bus
mess. Perhaps few of either en-
ployers or employees take the
time to consider why the one
group should grant the other a
week or more of wages without
work. Whether the vacation is
given as a reward for good work
already performed, or as an in
ducement to do good work during
the ensuing twelve months, may
not be worth discussing. The CIV
ing and accepting Of the vacation
with pay doubtless signify that re-
lations between employer and en-
ployee are amicable and are ex-
pected to remain so.
Nowadays in general the work
ing hours leave ample time morn
ings and evenings and at week
ends for the recreation needed to
bring the worker back to his task
each morning rested and refresh
ed. Right use of his more extend
ed annual vacation will, or ought
to, do something more than that.
1t should be a time of intellectual
house cleaning. For his own sake
the vacationer ought to get out OF
the routine of business, get into a
changed environment, subject him
self to new influences and enjoy
new experiences.
Somebody has said that man
does not stop playing because he
grows old but that he grows old
because he stops playing. Good
work and good health require re-
Taxation and recreation. 1t is a
physical and mental impossibility
to think on one subject all the
time. Routine callouses both mind
and body; recreation rejuvenates
both. Good work demands that the
business men shall at times get
his mind off his work in order
that at other times he may get
his mind on it.
After all, annual vacations must
be made to pay, for their cost
comes out Of business and indus
try. They must fit the vacationers
for good work, must add years of
efficiency to their lives. A week
or two spent in dissipation is not
a vacation, and so to misuse the
period set aside for recreation is
a violation of the terms ON which
it is granted.-American Lumber
man, July Z, 1923.
