MIDVALE "SLUMPS"
TO LOWEST WAR PRICE
Stock Sells Today at 4Wt,
Against "Pcuk" of 08' o
in 191o
Mldvale fe'leel stock was tho sensation of
tho markets In Philadelphia, New York
nnd elsewhere today, slumping to tho' low
est price It has reached since tho beglnnlnc
oi the war 43. The highest prlco It lias
over leached was 98'j In 1915. Other Phil
adelphia stocks fell way off, also. '
All sorts of wild and weird repbrls and
rumors wero offered In explafiatldn of the
Mldvale phaip decline, but efforts to estab
lish their truth and trace them lo respon
sible sources were unavailing
Krlr weeks Mldvale has been tho object
of bear lepoits. which havo been steadily
dtlvlng the stock dovvnwaid One of these
has been Jo the effect that Alva C Dlnke.v.
first vice president of the company nnd con
sidered U RUldlnR Renins, vvai about to
reslRti. ninkcy denied this today
The denial, however. lCBiilted in no re
covery of tho stock early V,,!flr,'rnT,,
Another report was that Mldvale
seeklnR moro money for expansion, and vvas
llkelv to use earnings for this purposo nnd
do away with dividends. This report could
not ho verified.
Still another report this from New York
was that pence negotiations wero eccretly
under way. nnd the blR earnings from war
vvcie soon to bo cut oft. Neither could this
bo -verified.
Yet another report was that Mldvale was
sulTeilnc with labor troubles, but its trou
bles can be no gicater than thosn of other
blR lndusttlal concerns, and the Mldvale
slump vvas far moro pronounced than that

World's largett
riXZiufacturers of thaft
driv unit! for the con
veriion of motor car
into trucki.
The large proportion of repeat ordets from leading Philadelphia merchants and
manufacturers affords convincing evidence of the quality and performance ?f
TRUXTUNS.
The fleet of 12 TRUXTUNS driven by the Atlantic Refining Company is
a. doubly valuable endorsement because of the intimate acquaintance of these
great gasoline and lubricating oil refiners with the entire commercial car field.
To convince such experts that TRUXTUNS would increase the efficiency
and cut the cost of their deliveries required the same kind of demonstration
that we will be glad to extend to you.
We ask that you allow us to analyze your hauling problems without
charge. We will prove by actual demonstration that the small first cost
of TRUXTUNS is matched by their low up-keep and operating cost.
TRUXTUNS put Ford economy and Ford efficiency to work for you.
Formed by attaching a TRUXTUN (formerly Hudford) Unit to the rear
end of a Ford chassis, they combine the recognized low maintenance cost
of the Ford engine with the efficiency of the internal gear, shaft drive
TRUXTUN Unit.
The many points of TRUXTUN superiority, with the facts and figures to
prove them, will repay investigation. Will you 'phone us for a demonstration
or may we see you at our office? r
