South Side
PACKING FIRMS
FEEL COAL LACK
WITH COLD SNAP
South Side Taking Drastic
Measures to Conserve Fuel
as Thermometer Drops"
Several Degrees.
The effect of the coal shortage
was keenly felt on the South Side
Tuesday morniiiff as the thermome
ter took a sudden drop.
Judge Foster held court wearing
his overcoat and other court officials
and officers all kept on their winter
apnarel
' The sudden arrival of the cold
snap caused people to make hurried
appeal for fuel -and stores were
begged to sell their accumulated
packing boxes for fires.
Various smokestacks at the dif
ferent packing plants did not emit
the usual large volumes of smoke,
indicating that economy is being
practiced.
. - Where there have been numerous
switch engines steaming around the
stock yards, but two or three are
now being seen and the manage-
' mentsi of the several plants have
expressed an intention of co-operation
in handling live stock and food
products, '
' Every means possible to con
serve coal will be used at the Ex
change building and it has-been
planned to close up every commis
sion office in the building an hour
or two earlier in the afternoon.
According to announcements of
several managers of packing plants,
their establishments may be com
pelled to work on half time and
this will mean a considerable, loss
"in wages of several thousand'em-
. ploycs. 1 i , .
R. C, Howe, manager of the Ar
mour plant said Tuesday, a plan
was being worked out to apportion
the hours of various branches so
that every available pound of power,
will be ued without waste in any
department.

A nation-wide propaganda of edu
cation to automobile users regarding
the care of storage batteries was
the keynote at the convention of
Prest-O-Lite Storage Battery Dis
tributers at Hotel Fontenelle Mon
day arid Tuesday. A large number
of distributers attended the meeting
and similar conventions are to fol
low in other sections of the Coun
try.' "Storage battery manufacturers
cannot possibly provide the neces
sary batteries for 1920, in spite of
tremendous increases in output,"
said Mr. F. -A. Wilson-Lawrenson,
vice president of the Prest-O-Lite
company of Indianapolis, who is in
charge ot the convention. In our
own case, we shall turn out ISO per
cent more storage batteries than we
did in 1919, yet a very careful allot
ment to distributers must be made
to prevent failure in getting every
battery into the user's hand prompt
ly. There is only one possible an
swer to the situation. Battery re
placements on a large share of the
6,000,000 cars now in use and new
batteries for more than 2,000,000
new cars mean that the supply will
not go around. Therefore, car own
ers must be educated to' better care
of their present batteries and serv
ice stations must be required to give
a' higher standard of repair and re
charging service.
According to Mr. Lawrenson, the
output of the Prest-O-Lite com
pany for 1920. which represents an
increase of 150 per cent over the
present year, is already sold.
In addition and in order that
there may be available at all times
every facility for instructing the car
owner in the fundamentals of bat
tery care a special staff of expert
field engineers will visit the 3,000
Prest-O-Lite service stations
throughout the country for the pur
pose of educating the men in charge
in the higher standards of testing,
repairing and recharging batteries.
This is the first national compaign
of the kind ever launched by a
manufacturer of automobile acces
sories and it is expected that it will
ramify the whole motor can indus
try to the advantage of the car own
ers throughout the United States.
Among the interesting features of
this convention were addresses by
is. W. Llark, sales '. manager, OilU
' Factory Practice, and Robert
Frothingham, the .well-known New
York advertising . nian, covering
"The Salesmanship of Real Serv
ice," which set a high standard for
all battery dealers wherever found.
