Mayor Smith's own car carried away
milium m at numupr oi ures uscu dur
ing the six -month auto race. They
cost the city $010.51. During the same
period his car used 1250 gallons of gaso
line. The Mayor llvcd'at Glenside. His
office was at Ilroad and Market streets.
Then there were bis gait links. The
former Mayor seldom walked to the golf
links.
Director Datesman, of the Depart
ment of Public Works, set the high
gasoline mark. His car consumed 1405
gallons of gasoline. About $400 wob
ttpent for tires, and $1322 for repairs
during the six-month dash.
Tires for the 175 autos in the city's
service should have been purchased
through the supply department "except
in emergency.'' Apparently, nt least
the last six months of the city admin
istration was faced with one emergency
right after the other. Also, it appears,
that these emergencies always overtook
the city officials in front of' one certain
garage.
The motor methods of the city offi
cials leaked through toTJontrolIer Wal
ton in December, and as a result of a
conference, the store at whose front
door most of the emergencies arose,
gave some radical discounts to the city
on tire sales.

ACTS STOP TREASURY DRAIN
Mayor Moore took action today
ngalnst the mandamus evil' to forestall
further drain upoiTthe city's finances.
He sent to Director of Public .WorkB
Winston a list of 104 ordinances passed
by the old Councils during the last six
months of the Smith administration,
which provided for the condemnation of
property by the city.
ins instructions to Director Winston
were to check up- on the mandamuses
on the city treasurer growing out of
the ordinances 'of condemnation. They
provide for nn expenditure of $3,
000,000, "The city has more real estate than
It can profitably use," said the Mayor,
"and every precaution should be taken
agninst condemnation and the taking
over of more; property which may bo of
no service to it, but which will cost
millions of dollars through the man
damus route,
"We do not want to halt public Im
provements, but the city cannot go very
far with some big things i,t ought to do
If the drain for taking private property
continues."
The executive will appoint a com
mittee of ten citizens to plan action
for relief from tho present system.
Appointment of tnii committee was
urged at a meeting of business and civic
leaders yesterday at the headquarters
of the Philadelphia Real Estate Board,
1120 Walnut street.

toaay mat tno use ot nis name was
premature and that nothing had been
decided. It is understood that 'it he
will run he will be acceptable to the
administration. He admitted he had
been asked to become a candidate. The
name of the other possible candidate
was not disclosed.
'Mr. Delany lives nt J231 North Broad

He has business interests, however, at
209 North Third street, which is in the
Third district.
Following a conference with Mayor
Moore, James A. Savage, Republican
Alliance leader of tho Thirtieth ward,
today announced his candidacy for the
Legislature from the Seventh district.
In vlewijf the fact that Senator Varc
last night addressed a meeting of negro
citizens of the First Congressional dis
trict, which includes the Thirtieth ward,
at the Republican city committee head
quarters, and promised to support two
negro candidates for the Legislature,
the announcement of Savage is espe
cially interesting. It indicates there
will be a stubborn fight for the Legis
lature in the Seventh district. Savage
will run on a strictly "wet" platform.
Senator Vore told the ncgrocsthcrc
would bo no misunderstanding in the
future ns to their place in the Organiza
tion. He promised them the following
places: One Republican state commit
teeman, two candidates for the state
Legislature and one alternate to the Re
publican national convention.
The negro candidates for the Legis
lature will be either Andrew F. Ste
vens or Nathan Nuller. from the Sixth
district, while from the Seventh dis
trict the candidates will be either John
Asbury or Holcomb Collier.
Only one negro has ever been elected
to the Legislature. He was the late
Harry W. Bass, from the Seventh
ward.
Councilman William MeCoach. of the
Thirtieth ward, it is said, is not quite
satisfied with the selections made by
Senator Vare and favors Robert Mc
Elroy as a legislative candidate from
the Seventh district. Should McElroy
run, mejjgnc win dc consiaeraniy com
nlicatcd. '
At last night's meeting the negroes
indorsed Councilman Charles B. Hall
and Congressman William S. Vare as
delegate's to the Republican National
Convention from tho First Congression
al district.
Just as soon' as the candidate for
Congress is decided upon administration
leaders will call on John R. .McLean.

Everyman is a fighter, though he may not-bc a pugilist.
His daily task is his fight and he needs to-be fit and

Constipation to the business fighter is the "out-of-con-dition"

the business fighter dull and slow, and unfit for effort,
but it is the "lowered guard" that leaves the opening

The Salesman
A Vital Factor
TX7E believe in planning every advertis
v v ing campaign in close contact with
each department of the advertiser's organ
ization. There is always a thorough exchange be
tween an advertiser's salesmen and our
selves. We belieye "sales" to be a real force
in developing a successful merchandising
campaign.
Salesmen represent the points of contact
with the great distributing agents they
are the eyes the nerves active forces that
enable a comprehensive individual and in
telligent advertising treatment.
We secure our viewpoint largely through
the salesman. We hold salesmen's confer
ences in our Conference Room or at the ad
vertiser's plant. We get the salesman's
viewpoint and he gets ours. We go on the
road with him study his selling problems
at first hand. The success of the merchan
dising plan is largely up to the salesman
and we place our faith with him every time.
There is always a vital appeal in the cam
paign that makes success practically inevit
able. We search for that vital appeal with all
the thoroughness we are capable.
If it is a kitchen product our cooking
experts test it in our Experimental Kitchen
to bring out underlying facts for this vital
appeal our investigators study competi
tive methods of manufacture and sale in the
most exhaustive way with the same end
in view.
We do not exaggerate the public
quickly condemns an article or product that
has been misrepresented. We regard ad
vertising as a great economic force that
must be safeguarded.
The vital appeal must be the truthful ap
peal. We realize to arrive at it we must
depend on thoroughness and painstaking
care.
Our record of advertising service is
unique . . . the average life of our present
accounts is seven years and six, months.
The average life of accounts with agen
cies in general is eleven months.
Our business increased 150 per cent, in
1919 over 1918 ... and 96 per cent, of the
total volume of advertising placed with us
in 1919 was from clients who had been with
us for more than a year and in some in
stances, for twenty-five years.
This record we believe justifies the in
creased safeguards we throw around a
client's advertising . . . the greater care
we employ in getting out our plans our
"copy" and each feature of the campaign.
Perhaps this record explains the reason
we secure, greater returns on the advertis
ing investment than usual. -y
If you have any advertising or merchan
dising problem that you would like to have
clarified, we will be glad to give you the
result of our experience ... and to detail
any of our successes you might be inter
ested in if you will indicate when an inter
view, would be convenient.
An interview will not obligate you in the
least.
