Manufacturers of Peerless
Utilize Carrying Capacity of
Truck Ch'assisDelivered
Under Own Power.
J. Schmunck, general sales man
ager of the Peerless Motor Car com
pany, . lias given a great deal of
thought and study to the matter of
overland shipmei of cars during
these times of coi -tion. A happy
combination of circumstances permits
exceptionally economical handling of
trucks and passenger cars for the
Peerless company, even to far distant
points. '
This consists in the delivery of
truck chassis and passenger cars in
one trip. Company officials state that
this has been accomplished during the
severest weather at a good average
express shipment time and at prac
tically freight cost. This system of
delivery was carefully considered by
Mr. Schmunck and the passenger cars
grated, and secured to the truck chas
lis. By this method of shipment, deal
ers have been kept supplied With
trucks and motor cars, all of which
v Have arrived at their destination with
out hitch or scratch. This system has
tdone its part in aiding in relieving
congestion . and helping to free the
railroads from the great burden
thrust qpon them by hitherto un
-known , shipping demand brought
about by the needs of the war.
In delivering passenger cars over
land where trucks are not included
in the order, the finish is preserved
by a protective coating of oil, which,
when removed at the point of destina
tion, leaves the high g4oss finish as
perfect as when the car left the fac-

Connersville Factories
Open Washington Office
Connersville Ind., is the home of
the 10 large industries which sepa
rately contribute to the success of
the Lexington Minute Man Six; AH
of these industries are run under their
own specialized management and
grouped together under one central
ized board headed by Frank B. An
sted," the youngest executive in the
country to assume such great respon
sibility.. Mr. Ansted, like all true
Americans, is heart and 5041I in the
great struggle .for democracy. The
greatest evidence of this spirit on the
part of these associated industries of
Connersville is evidenced by the es
tablishment of a Washington office.
The purpose of this headquarters is
to form a central branch where active
and efficient co-operation may be in
stantly given to the government in
all war matters. This office will also
serve to. represent the interests of
these manufacturing plants at the cap
ital. ,
These new offices are known as the
Ansted Associated Industries nd are
located at 22 National hotel building,
Washington, D. C.
Overland Plant Has Total,
Of 64 5-Men Bowling Teams
So great is the interest in bowling
among the employes of the Willys
Overland company, that the 64 five
men teams which compose the bowl
ing organization, cannot arrange a
schedule to allow each team to play
the other and decide the champion
ship for the plant. The club is in
charge of Overland men and they
have private alleys of the most mod
ern type installed at the factory.
There are eight of these alleys. The
pin setters are supplied by the Over
land company. At the annual ban
quet given recently, $4,000 in prizes
was distributed. This money was
raised by the men through sale of
advertising space in their annual pro
gram, from entrance fees and from
money received from a charge for
games. The balance in the treas
ury which was left after the awarding
of prizes was contributed to the To
ledo War Chest fund.
Charles Krantzenburger, a member
of the-league holds the distinction
of having a perfect score of 300 points.
R. R. Scott, secretary of the Willys
Overland, who was the principal
speaker at the banquet, dwelt upon
the necessity for keeping in perfect
physical trim during the present
period in the nation's progress. He
brought out the' fact that the feeling
ot comradeship and sportsmanship
gained in bowling should be helpful

indicate "the popularity of the auto

Is it too much to assume that the
automobile will yet become sufficient
ly practical to be something besides
a rich man s plaything? We hope so.

'CAMOUFLAGE' IS
AN INDIAN ART,
SAYS AUTO MAN
"That the art of 'camouflage,' as
now practice 1 in Europe, is an Ameri
can institution and orieinated bv the
American Indians was recently proven
10 me anvers ot the camouflaged
Kissel Kar, while touring the Indian
reservations of the Pacific coast
states," says W. E. Foshier of the
Kissel Kar.
"A squaw., reported to be over 100
years old and to have livel in the
days when the white man was a com
mon enemy, through an Indian inter
preter, explained how the Indian chil
dren were taught to place flowers
in their hair, as well as twigs, leaves
and other bits of foliage, and were
able to move along the ground in such
a stealthy manner that they were not
discemable to the rest of the tribe.,
"Before a vrmncr hnrtr rrtnM hrrnm.
qualified as a warrior, he had to make
ins approach to the Indian camp al
most ill ttlf mirUr nf th accrmMorl
warriors without being detected. The
real origin of paint on their faces, as
well as on their wigwams and horses,
as claimed by authority, was for the.
purpose of making them blend in with
rocks, trees and dirt, so that they
could approach their prev or remain
hidden without detection.' '
