Very Different from Old Methods
CARS ALREADY SHIPPED
One of the latest single export ;
shipments o( high grade American-'
built cars has just been completed by
the Chandler Motor Carlcompany of
Cleveland. In this shipment were 217'
Chandler Six touring cars, all going1
to one foreign agent. These were de
livered and boxed within ten days,
ready for shipment to the seaboard,
where a waiting steamer took them
for their over-seas journey.
"The Chandler company now has
nearly fifty foreign agencies, all doing
a prosperous business," said James M.
Ounlap, sales manager.
"Within the last month large ship
ments have been made to Brazil, Den
mark, UruguayNew Zealand, Sian,
" Norway, China and other countries.!
Chile took thirty-two Chandlers in I
one month recently. ,
"Orders from Madrid Indicate that
the Chandler will soon be one of th;
most popular cars in the Spanish capi
tal. "Export orders come through tn
the factory dally. . Wherever it is in
troduced, the Chandler has met with
almost instant approval. An initial
order from any country has, without
exception, been the forerunner of' big
business.
"The approval with which it has
met in foreign fields, is substantial
testimony to the mechanical excel
lence of the Chandler car. These ex
port orders do not come as a result
of the wide popularity of the ear in
the United States, but solely as a re
sult of the eminently satisfactory
service rendered by the Chandler, and
because of Its desia-n and construction.
' and because of its marvelous motor." I
Boxing the Chandler Six for- its i

cially trained workmen, In packing

boxed automobiles are then placed
on flat ears two automobiles to a flat

each train.
Postmasters All Know
"Most Beautiful Car"
When the .Paige-Detroit Motor
Car company '-announced its new
models under the caption The most
beautiful car in America," President
Harry ,M. Jewett. declared that the
slogan had been presented to the
Paige by the public, t How well justi
fied Mr. Jewett was in this statement
seems to be proved by an innocent
little postal card that arrived at the
Paige factory the other day. The
card was mailed from the small town
of Charleston, -W. Va., on February
. 12. It was addressed Simply: "For
eign Sales Manager, 'The Most Beau
tiful Car in America,' Ifi S. A."
There was no individual's name, no
company name, no town, no state, yet
the card was delivered at the Paige
factory February 15.

Australians Claim Substitute
For Rubber Tire Solved
As in other countries of vast dis
tances and comparatively few travel
ing facilities, the advent of the motor
car in Australia has. to a verv con
siderable extent, solved the difficul
ties of transportation, says The Power
wagon, in many parts ot the coun
try the roads are merely bush tracks
or overland stock routes, on which
herds of cattle are driven long dis
tances to the city markets or coastal
freezing works.
The rough nature of the country
over which the cars travel and the ex
cessive heat often experienced have
made the coat of rubber tires a serious
item in maintenance, thereby leading
to many experiments in obtaining a
substitute for rubber at a moderate
cost. The invention and recent per
fection of the Australian "homing"
tire is claimed to have solved the
problem of producing an emergency
tire at a comparatively small cost.
Tests with tires made of various kinds
of fiber were made, with the result
that coir fiber was found to be the
most suitable for the purpose because
I of its lightness, cheapness, resilience
PH
and durability. The greatest difficulty
was to discover a method of joining
the ends of the rope to make a com
plete circle of the same size, but
eventually a new splice was invented,
and the tire as now sold in Australia
is perfect of its type.
When first placed on the market the
"homing;" tire was sold as an emer
gency lire in case 01 a puncture or
blowout, but it proved so satisfactory
that in the country districts of some
of the states the rope tires are fre
quently used on all the wheels of
motor cars, particularly for station or
ranch work and over rough and stony
country. . . -.' .
The tires are bullet, nail and glass
proof, and if a speed of sixteen miles
is not exceeded it is claimed that they
are almost as soft riding as pneu
matic tires. It should be understood
that the "homing" tire takes the place
of both inner tube and cover, being
attached to the rim by four or five
straps.

Delaware claims the distinction of
The present-day merchandising
plans for automobiles, asserts W. L.
Killy of the Noyes-Killy Motor com-'
pany, distributors of the Saxon and
King, is so distinctly different from :
the old methods of handling cars and
the methods pursued in other lines of
business that it is almost impossible j
for outsiders lo realize the enormous
growth oi the industry and the great
variety of problems that confront the
men in this industry.
"In the first place, there are so
many men with original engineering!
ideas and original ideas ot economy,
production methods, etc., that one
must be ever alert to catch the new
ideas and new arguments which are
being advanced in favor of different
types of construction and the effect
they will have on the rating of the
present models of the different man
ufacturers. "Countless new ideas are being ad
vanced for betterment some of these
are good and some of them are abso
lutely valueless hut owing to the
fact that so many improvements have
been made recently one must be on
the lookout continually in order that
the particular model which the dealer
has chosen to handle is the last word
in construction and finish.
"The dealers must, if they wish to
be successful, estimate very closely
the number of cars which they will
need for their territory. Owing to
the fact that the manufacturers of
motor cars have heretofore been un
able to meet the demand, it is a fight
for dealers to get nearly the number

forerunner of the present day motor
car in 1844. He was a steam engine
inventor, and one of his inventions, so
it is said, was a steam-propelled car
riage. The contrivance was in shape
like a boat on wheels and was pro
pelled by a walking-beam engine sim
ilar to those used on many steam
boats. Experiments Are Made
With Alcohol for Fuel
The ..development . of sawdust
through the newest scientific meth
ods, into a true grain alcohol, which
can be used as a fuel for automobiles
is now being worked out on the
Canadian' side of the; international
boundary, according to officials of the
forest products laboratory of the fed
eral forest service, which was a pio
neer in this line of experimenting.
"I am inclined ,to think, however,
said Howard F. Weiss, director of the
American labdratory, "that the Cana
dian foresteri who prophesied that
Canadian-nude alcohol will eventual
ly be distributed through under
ground pipes like city gas, is a little
too enthusiastic in his' views. He is,
however, on the right track in the de
velopment of alcohol as a motor fuel.

The Triumph of Real Truck Engineering
Look over alt the other truck
attachments then see the Truck
mobile and you'll know at a glance
why it really is "Biggest of Them
All." - Its extra length and extra
width, as well as its more massive
construction, . instantly impresses
you of its mechanical perfection
and bespeaks of real engineering.
Real engineers did design and
build the Truckmobile and these
points are the very keynotes of its
whole construction. Sturdiness,
simplicity of operation and attach
ments and nine exclusive features
of construction effectually over
come high upkeep cost
Note These Exclusive Points of Superiority

The Truckmobile works in
all weather. Slippery, icy roads,
rain, snow do not delay or
prevent your deliveries. The
Truckmobile will go along at a
speed of from 16 to 20 miles an
hour through it all. The cost
of operation is far less than
that of any other truck attach
ment, because it will give from
15 to 20 miles for every gallon
of gasoline.

When You Buy
and After You Buy
GMC Trucks are not the lowest nor the highest price trucks.
They are trucks of highest quality sold at prices which are reas
onable and consistent with their high value.
By actual performance, GMC Trucks have firmly established
the fact that, from the standpoint of pulling power low up
keep and dependability they are unexcelled. , (
If you buy a lower price truck than a GMC, buy it under-,
standing that it does not equal GMC in quality. Don't expect
GMC pulling power or low operating expense. Don't look for
the dependable service or the durability of GMC Trucks, for
trucks their equal can not be built and sold at lower prices.
In buying GMC Trucks you save at the start and later. You
get trucks, which have demonstrated their worth under every
conceivable road and load condition, trucks which, with reason
able care and attention, will render years of satisfactory ser
vice, operate at lowest cost per ton, mile and require the mini
mum of repairs and replacements.
The GMC. line is complete, ton to 5 ton capacity worm
and chain drive. Write us for complete information regarding
'.the, GMC line. t
