WHITTIER TAKES
LEAD IN NATION
Fire Fighting Trucks Win
High Place in Tests
Throughout Nation.
GETTING MANY ORDERS
Reiuvenated Company Begins
From Bottom and Builds
National Business.

Beginning from Zero" in produc-
ton facilities and plant equipment
last December, the WHITTIER Motor
Truck company has just reached
peak of national recognition which is
placing its product in favor through
out the nation, as result OF re-
organization of the company and a
change of policy and type of product
This was the encouraging information
that has been emanating from the Ke-
nosha plant on the north side of the
city for the past month following
steps taken to place a real organlza-
ton where it will become effective in
establishing a national patronage fol-
it's product.
The company, under the direction OF
Ralph D. Mock, in charge of opera
tions, has taken to manufacturing
largely a six-cylinder fire fighting
truck which from the first made a de-
cidely favorable mark upon its intro
duction to the automotive field.
Give National Franchises.
The WHITTIER Motor Truck company
has been establishing agencies in the
larger motor centers of the country
including Boston, Minneapolis, Port
land, Oregon; Baltimore and other
cities, including Madison, Sheboygan
Lebanon, Ono, ButleA Pei.si,, Meridian,
Conn, etc.
Several of the larger cities Of the
country are adopting Whittier fire.
fighting apparatus as standard equip
ment Kenosha has been pioneering
in this movement with WHITTIER
truck in every station in the city, and
local officials have been gratifed to
see that the city has been among the
first to recognize the value of the
WHITTIER product in it's fire stations.
The city council at Lebanon, Ohio, has
just placed a contract with the Win
Their company here for two machines,
one a double chemical and hose out
fit, and a heavy triple combination
apparatus, chemical, hose and pumper
Similar machines are located in Ripon,
Wis, Joliet, Ill, Kewatin and Virginia,
Mimi, Logan, w. Va, etc. The pumps
and chemical equipment are furnished
by the Peter Pirsch and Sons company,
of Kenosha.
Expect Biggest Seson.
Present prospects at the plant here
look forward to a most successful sea-
SON. With the establishment of more
branch sales offices in other cities in
the nation it is expected that the re-
nown of the WHITTIER product will soon
spread. The factory complement at
the plant is now working full time in
order to fulfill present orders on-hand,
and it is expected that before the
heavy spring season is over the num-
Der of employees and the present plant
facilities will of necessity be extend
ed to take care of all of the work of
the company in Kenosha.

CABBAGE MART.
TOBE BETTER
Stocks Of North and
West Are Light, Says
McDavitt

Material improvement in the cabbage
market within the next week was fore
cast today by w. f. McDavitt, Browns
willie shipper, the forecast being based
on government and private reports of
supplies on hand in New York and Wis
-consn.
'There are about 1900 carloads of old
cabbage in New York and Wisconsin,
Mr.. McDavitt said. THE Florida crop
of about 1900 carolads is now moving,
which means that outside of the Valley
there will be about 5000 carloads to
move within the next thirty days. Warm
weather may deteriorate the New York
storage cabbage to the point where
fresh cabbage may be deriarded.
1.-The normal consumption Of cabbage
is about $50 carloads a day, and since
only about 100 cars a day will move
outside of Texas in the next thirty
DAYS, | believe the situation indicates
a much improved market for Valley
cabbage, provided our own shippers are
careful not to glut the market"
Mr.. McDavitt's information is that
the Mobile crop of about 1000 cars will
continue to the close of the early sea-
son. about May 10. However. by that
time. he predicted, all storage cabbage
will be out of the way and the market
will be open to the new stock.
Under date Of February 18, Mr.. Nc
Davitt wired j. Austin Hunter. govern
ment market news specialist at Austin,
as follows:

only forty cars of storage cabbage are

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 2l.-The
Airship Los Angeles, which flew to Ber-

left on her journey at 1910 o'clock
this morning, the navy department was
informed by radio. The great airship
did not attach herself to the mooring of
the tender Patoka as had been intended,
owing to weather conditions.
Arriving in sight of Bermuda at 4:45
o'clock, the Los Angeles cruised about
over the islands for several hours. The
sky was overcast and it was found that
difficulties in the war of mooring were
too great.
In returning without mooring, the of
ficers on the Los Angeles followed a
previously mapped plan, navy depart
ment officials said, which provided for
a quick return if weather conditions
were not favorable to the program
originally outlined.
