"When t rtcoTered frejm my attempt at

"Aa soon as I hard that Mrs. Waltc

LOSS FROM BAD PACKING
United States Consul at Palermo Gives
Examplo of Damage to Thi3
Country's Trade
In spite of the many ndmonttlons to
American shippers, writes Consul Samuel
H. Shank from Palermo, Itnly, there are
still a few who seem not to comprehend the
Berlousncu of Insufficient packing. An Im
porter of the Italian city requested the
Consul to nccompany him to the Custom
House to attend tho opening of ten cases
of leather, Inasmuch as the Insurance and
steamship companies refused to accept any
responsibility for tho goods, because the
bill of lading was marked "old cases."
In the Interest of the American Arm, the
Consul went to the Custom House nnd found
that live of the ten cases had been broken
and reimlred. They were about 5 by 3
by 3 feet In size and contained about 1000
pounds of tanned hides wrapped In bundles
of eh skins each. Around each end was
a small Iron band, but ncross tho end there
were no cleats and no bands, nor were they
reinforced in tho centre From each of
the several boxes that were damaged there
were missing one or more bundles of skins,
a total loss amounting to J345.
Edch occurrences cause difficulties in ex
tending American trado, as they frequently
not only result In loss of the customer for
tho manufacturer concerned, but also deter
the Importer from buying from other
American firms.

everybody's saving time theso days.
Soma employers aro going efficiency
mad. Husbands aro catching it- They'ro
turning everything Into money and energy.
Everything Is automatic so nobody will
have to work; yet every one Is working
hnrder than ever keeping tho Inventions
In condition.
When It comes to saving tlmo tho busi
ness man gets the palm Instead of hav
ing his stenographer report to tho ofllco
Bhe reports to his homo nnd rides with him
In his car whilo he dictates letters to her
en route. On reaching tho omco she has
enough letters to keep her busy for the
morning, while her employer devotes his
time to tho moro weighty matters of In
terviewing prospective business victims.
Realizing that wives nre not enthusi
astic over the idea of having a fluffy-looking
"stcnog" rldo to the office in tho car,
some hubbies with a trace of conscience
have a dlstagraph In the auto. They tell
all their letters to the dl'ctagraph whllo
speeding from homo. Then when they
reach tho ofllco all they havo to do Is toss
tho record to Tllllo, the stenographer, and
Bhe pounds out the letters. At least half
a dotcn very efficient employers In this city
are doing this very thing with good ro
sults. Some havo reference books tucked
under tho seat of the car. This prevents
any mishap In tho letter and gives con
fidence. Another has a certain portion of his busi
ness letters sent to his home. Ho reads
them en route to tho ofllco, answers them
ono nt a tlmo In tho dlctngrnph nnd the
"stcnog" Instead of reading tho mall when
sho arrives, starts tho day by answering
tho letters which sho hasn't rend at all.
There are some letters, however, that the
"stcnog" doesn't get a chanco at.
Apropos of this hurly-burly, slap-dash
rush, many aro predicting that an cntlro
office on wheels will soon bo a popular
thing. They point out that tho boss could
use a small open-faced car with room for
just two as a prlvato ofllco nnd connect It
with a big, flat motortruck on which tho
clerks, stenographers, etc., could worlc In
addition to being efficient, It would bo
healthy, they say. While a great deal of
gaoollno would be used, it could bo easily
paid for with tho money saved In ofllco rent.
Book agents would havo to use motor
cycles to catch up and annoy the ofllco
force. To provent any such Interruptions a
general bouncer could be statlonod at tho
rear of the truck to side-track pests of; all
kinds, nnd bill collectors In particular. '
As to efficiency, It would go up fully 100
per cent, many bellovo. Tho ofllco would
bo out In tho open nnd tho fresh air would
keep down tho sick list. Umbrollns would
keep tho Bun's rays from tho workers. If
it rained It would be an easy matter to
spread an awning over the portablo busi
ness house, nnd an ample supply of bat
teries would supply necessary light.
As most bosses only like telephones when
they want to talk themselves, they could
stop and phono from a public pay station
nnd nobody on tho face of tho earth could
annoy them. They would bo free from tho
world's pests generally and business would
be a continuous vacation.

Vital Features
A
OILVERTOWN Cord Tires
f giant CORDS in them!
They are made in "Straight
side" as well as in "Clincher" type.
No Tires, of any construction, average
LARGER than Silvertowns, taken Type for
Type and Size for Size.
The Silvertown Cord Tire of 36x4j4
inch Size, and "Straight-side" Type, has
1240 Cubic Inches of Air-space. .
A thorough search of the Market failed
to discover any 36 x 4j4 'inch Tire, of any
Thread-Fabric, (or alleged "Cord") Construc
tion which had more than 1191 Cubic Inches
of Air-space.
Silvertowns are made with Safety
Tread, as well as in the original Silvertown
Rib-Tread.
This latter being closely copied by
Makers of other Tires we now identify all
genuine "Silvertowns" by the trade-mark
shown herewith.
Why not give it "Class, ' Pres
tige, and that SMOOTH RIDING
which feels more like gliding?
Silvertown Cord Tires can -now
be had through any Goodrich Dealer,
or any Branch of the Sole Manufac-.
turers, in America, who are, the
B. F. Goodrich Co., of Akron, Ohio.
Viz: a small double-diamond, in
red rubber, on the white rubber side-wall
of each Tire.
With Silvertown Cord Tires your Car
vrill COAST SOft further than on Fabric
Tires.
It will develop 17 more Speed from
same Motor.
It will Ride smoother, Steer easier,
and Start quicker.
And, in these days. of high-priced
Fuel, bear in mind that it will consume
25 LESS GASOLENE, per Mile of per
formance. That Saving alone pays for much
moro than the slightly higher cost of Silver
town Cord Tires.
So why not "Silyertown" your Car?
