Tighten Credits Feature
Trading of Week In Market
New Tork, April 17. Developments of
tho week Iq the securities market were
governed largely by tighter credits, and
the railroad etrlke. Neither of these fac
tors acted as a deterrent, however, to tc
aggressive operations of bull pools.
Call money rose -to 15 per cent, -wh'V
the demand was at Its height albeit, iuoi
of the week's loans were i made at
8, marked" relaxation being shown when
Interior banks came into the market. Time
money lost none of Its stringency, slight
ly higher bids being made for short time
accommodations, with few acceptances.
The railroad strike had little or m ef
fect on transportations beyond reducing
dealing In that quarter to a minimum,
Sut reports from Industrial centera In
icated curtailment of production, due to
scarolty of coal and other materials.
- On the surface the lnveatment market
derived further strength from the success
of the Pennsylvania Railroad bond offer
ing, this being followed by an announce
ment by the Standard OH company of an
additional Issue of $100,000,000 preferred
stock. '
The effect of 'these new undertakings
upon previous issues -with less attractive
Interest returns was most obvious In
Liberty bonds and Victory notes, nearly
all of which suffered depreciation, to new
low records.
Additional reasons for the weakness of
the government's war flotations were
found In the higher Interest rates at.
tached to new treasury certificates and In
voluntary liquidation from sections of the
country where Industrial unrest has been
inoi t conspicuous. , j

"General Inconvenience and no Incon

from the railroad walkouts, and some
time must necessarily elapse before the
deleterious effects will be wholly elim
inated. "With transportation disorganised and
movements of raw materials seriously Im
peded, shutdowns at many manufacturing;
plants have been unavoidable and last
months more ravoranie production results
cannot be, repeated in April, wnne con
sumption of goods Is also diminished. "and
tnougrn unemployment in various indus
tries curtails the publlo purchasing power.

some prices, as Dun'a list demonstrates,
have risen sharply. Such a tendency has

High Wheat Prices Cause
Rise In Com During Week
Chicago. A-prll 17. Extraordinary high
prices for wheat have .stimulated brisk
new advances this week In tire corn mar
ket. Compared with a week ago. corn
quotations this morning ranged lrom 2 He
.to 4i,3 up, oata showed gains of lo to
i He and provisions a also varying from
17o to $1.60. '
Although at times' the measures taken
to bring the railway strike to an end led
to sharp setbacks in the corn market, the
dominating factor en the whole . was
,w(rat at $3.00 and upward a bushel.
This Influence was ascribed In turn to
i sudden exnanslon of European demand for
breadstiiffs, a circumstance due partly
to likelihood of lessened production of
wheat In the United States this year and
partly ttO chances that India, Australia
, end Argentina might declare embargoes
sgatnst the exportation of wheat. The
MpWsrd strain of the corn market was
partly- rellevedi Kowever. by big resales
of oats which 'had' been purchased for
Trance. A motive for reaelllng was ssld
to be to provide Increased vessel room for
.wheat and rye.

An OpportunityAnd An Invitation
The press recently carried the announcement of the recapitalization -of the Hebb Motors Com ,
any from a Two 'and a half million dollar company to an institution with an authorized capital
stock of Ten million dollars, and the change of name to'the more appropriate one of Patriot Mo
tors Company. ("Patriot being the trade name pf the 'Motor, Truck manufactured) ; and through
the mails th$ Company's stockholders have been fully advised of the proposed expansion program. ' ,
partake of the harvest of experience, as indicated
by the above capacity business being done by this t
manufacturing concern at the present time. J"
Market Guaranteed by Law of Averages
In the history of the United States there has
never' been a general crop failure, and there never
will be, , because there is invojved too wide a scope .
of territory. In some sections the seasons are bound
to be favorable and the law of averages will insure
good crops HERE, even tho there is a total failure'
THERE. On the same basis, the manufacturing coh'"j:
cern, rightly directed, producing needed articles, and
MARKETING IT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, can
not fail, because too much territory is involved. .
There willJbe a market every month, somewhere
between Canada and the Gulf; between New York.
and San Ffirrjcisco. , .
Reasons for Expansion
Life is progression or the reverse; manufac
tories go ahead or go backward. Nature will harbor
nothing stationary she abhors a vacuum. The
Hejrfb Motors company has gone ahead in a manner
that, while not attracting so, much attention a$
home,, it has been universally ascribed the "dark
horse" in the automobile industry the country over,
especially among-the manufacturers. That a major
truck manufactory could be built out here in the
middle west wajs thought by them, only a couple of
years ago, a thing impossible, incredible. ,
i
Factory Ground Broken Less
Than Two Years Ago
Less than two years have passed since the con
tractors, with teams and scrapers, entered a corn-,
field west of Havelock and broke the ground for the
site of the present Hebb Motors factory. Today
Patriot Trucks are in wide and very general use in
every state west Of the Mississippi and in most of
the eastern ana southeastern states. Now the New
England States are being covered. More J;han 60 per
cent of the Company's sales for 1919 were made to
people who had previously purchased Patriot
Trucks, and came; back for more. With the hun
dreds of Patriot Trucks irTuse all over the United
States and most of western Canada, there is not
one single dissatisfied Patriot owner; This speaks
eloquently for the superiority of this motor vehicle.
We confidently believe that this record is unmet in
motor truck manufacture. And the Commercial
Body business has l;otally outgrown present Quar
ters andmust have new buildings. r
Eight Millions in Orders on Books
The first- of the year the Hebb Motors Com
pany held convention of their dealers from Texas,
Louisiana and Oklahoma, and these men during the
convention signed orders and put deposits on over
$4,000,000.00 worth of motor trucks for shipment
as quickly as the factory could deliver. Since that
time the Company has received orders amounting to
several millions more, and now have bona-f ide ship
ping orders totalling something over eight millions
of dollars. To take care of this tremendous volume
pf business, which is growing month by month, and
coming as it does from the entire country, requires
additional capital. Fox, that reason an issue of the
Patriot Motors Company's common stock is offered
the investing-'public at this time. While the capi
talization has been authorized to be increased to
ten million, only one million dollars worth of its
shares are being offered the investing public, at this
time. It is confidently expected that the present ofr
feting wfill be subscribed within a very short time. .
One Thousand Dollars Invested in Hebb
Motors in 1918 Now Represents
; N a Value of $3,630.00
. , ( In 1918 a limited numbfer of investors were for-
tunate enough to secure stock of the original issue,
although they knew not of their good fortune then,
and had to be urged to invest. One thousand dol
lars invested then represents a value today of
$3,630.00 an increment of 263 per cent on the in
vestment. Investors then were offered participation
in the fruits of the business, whose1 founders had
traveled every inch of the distance of the road lead
ing to a large body jobbing manufacturing business.
Those founders had kept an ear close to the ground
for six years, so far las the motor truck demand was
concerned, and they knew beforehand just what
could be accomplished by a modern, good-as-thebest
factory here in the section of the country vwhere ex
ists the largest possiBle market for motor trucks. It
should be remembered that the sixteen middle west
states produced in 1919 two-thirds of the country's
grain wealth and three-fourths of the country's live
stock wealth. More than half of the twenty-eight
million horses and mules in this country are owned
on the farms of these sixteen middle west states.
Just so today, investors of 1920 are privileged 'to
Freight Average Favors Lincoln
ki art
j.
If all the motor trucks manufactured in this,
country last .year could have been shipped from
Lincoln to the points where they were purchased
by the user, the amount of freight saving involved
would have amounted to 23 compared with the'
freight charges that were actually paid. Most of
the trucks sold last year were, as everyone knows,-.-manufactured
east of the Mississippi river. In
other WQrds,,Lincoln is more favorably located,
from the viewpointNof the )truck absorbing territory,
than any other city in America. This will always
give Lincoln a marketing influence in this line of f
manufacture not enjoyed by other cities east or west."
And the body business goes hand in hand vvith the;
truck business naturally and logically. s"'J
Figures Presented Two Years Ago
i " t
Two years ago a good many investors in Lin
coln and surrounding trade territory were told what
.$1,000 invested in different motor companies in the
early days of their operation had earned. It was
estimated -that history might repeat itself in con
nection with an investment in the Hebb Motors Com-
. pany. There were scoffers and doubters who looked
wise andaid nothing. History HAS REPEATED
and investors of two years ago and even one year
ago, have enjoyed an increment of from 60 per cent
as a minimum to 263 per cent aa a maximum., AA
reminder these figures are again quoted: . ': 2
