Then we knew wc would have facilities second to none in the world for rendering complete service. So while our building was under way we began a thorough and exhaustive investigation of motor trucks. With the advantages that our organization offers to any manufacturer, you can understand that the truck we decided to represent is the one of our choice. In lending our indorsement to any motor car, either passenger or commercial, we give to it the support of all that the Gomery-Schwart. name carries. Naturally, then, wa based our selection of the truck wc would take on when we moved into our new building upon an inves tigation that considered only the actual perform ance value of the truck. Names of manufacturers meant nothing to us if their present product was not up to the standard we had determined should be the basis of our choice. We wanted no truck until we were in a position to back it with the same character of service that accounts much for our present posi tion in the passenger car field. Here wc have a modern plant, the largest retail automobile and service station in the world. Think of the assurance such an institu tion gives to all users of its product! Hudson passenger car owners in Philadel phia and throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware know what it is to have their cars in uninterrupted service. No user can possibly be as vitally interested in the performance of Stewart trucks as we are. We have given our complete indorsement to it. We are sure every truck user is warranted on that account in relying upon our choice as being ihe choice for him.

J faBhfmJH Jnkit I lJyTl fiiMMi m7 jfcfli TliMi dflWUKediHI1 Sugar and Ships In the interest of the public it serves, the Franklin Sugar Refining' Company is earnestly supporting the Government's policy to regulate the supply of sugar so that it shall be sufficient for the needs of all our soldiers, our Allies and ourselves. With the new crop of cane sugar coming in, the sugar situation is more favorable than it was a month ago. There vill be sugar enough, according to present indications, if extrava gant use and waste are avoided. Race 2355 War has disturbed the whole world's sugar supply. It has not only wiped out any available surplus, but it has put all nations on a hand-to-mouth basis. The European Allies were the first to feel the pinch. Before the war, enough sugar was produced on the Con tinent to supply all Europe. Today, two-thirds of this sugar-producing area is with in the battle lines. England, France and other nations have had to turn elsewhere for a supply of this indispensable food. And they came to Cuba the main source upon which the United States depends for its cane sugar. During 1917, Cuba sold and shipped to Europe nearly 1,000,000 tons of raw sugar one-third of its crop. In'addition to the normal increase in the consumption of sugar as food in this coun try, the nation-wide move ment to save the fruit crop last season greatly increased its use. But this increased con sumption of sugar has been a real factor in combating waste. It enabled the Ameri can housewife to add to the store of the food of the na tion at a time when fruits and vegetables were plenti ful and cheap. The sugar is not only in the fruit jar, but it has carried into the pantries of the coun try a vast supply of fruit and vegetables which would otherwise have been lost. Sugar itself is not only a food, but it is also the great pre server of other foods. As the demand for sugar grew, both here and abroad, Cuba's supply was exhausted last fall. Every available ton in Porto Rico and other cane sugar countries was ac quired. But this was not enough, and the shortage came. At the same time, an abun dance of sugar was and still is locked up in far-away Java, as unavailable as unmined gold because ships cannot be spared to transport it. Every 5,000-ton ship which can be saved by giving England sugar from Cuba means the release of a ship which can make three trips and take a total of 3,000 sol diers from the United States to France. If we can save the Allies from taking any Java sugar in 1918, we will release for transport purposes enough ships to carry over to the Western front and supply about 150,000 to 200,000 soldiers. At the same time, we will also be giving the Allies the necessary sugar. Therefore, it is to the interest of the common cause to save ships and semi soldiers. The Franklin Sugar Re fining Company has put forth every possible effort to keep up the supply of sugar for the United States, even in limited quantities, and to stabilize the price to the consumer. In order to enable thewidest possible distribution of sugar so that all may have some sugar we distribute Franklin Cane Sugars in convenient size packages. These small -unit cartons and cotton bags enable gro cers to limit their sales so that waste and hoarding may be prevented. It will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch carefully their distri bution and purchases during the approaching period of re adjustment. The refineries are now starting up and sup plies of raw sugar coming for ward, but it will take weeks, and possibly months, for the return of normal conditions. Housewives can cooperate with this plan by buying these package sugars. In war time and at all times it is our aim to safeguard the interests of the public we serve.
