    TRUCK SUCCESS
ONLY BEGINNING
Garford Head Declares Gen-1
eral Public Awakening to
Necessity of Trucks
The future of few lines of manu
facturing
discussed than xhat of motor truck
building. During the last twelve:
months, the increase in the commer- i
clal vehicle business has been thej
talk of the business world. Its sue-1
|cess has been well-nigh phenominal
<4Tid yet there are those who insist
thatthe success already attained only
marks the beginning of an era of
growth which will rival anything
which has occurred in the passenger
automobile field.
Among the men directly respon- i
sible for the development of the mo- j
•tor truck to its present high state of
efficiency-is E. A. Williams, Jr., head)
of the Garford Motor Truck Com
pany, of Lima, and he is among those
who refer to the success of the in- j
dustry as still being in its infancy. |
To-day, the commercial vehicle busi
ness is simply a healthy, growing'
child, he declares, and its tremen
douse possibilities are yet to be real
ized.
Williams has played no small part
in the building up of Garford busi
ness. In 1901. the Garford plant con
sisted of a shed at the rear of a city ;
lot. To-day it is the largest plant!
in the United States exclusively de
voted to the manufacture of a com
plete line of motor trucks.
Firm in the opinion that no com- i
mericial vehicle could be successful- j
ly built without the proper kind of
equipment for its building, the erec-1
tion of a model motor truck factorv
soon became Williams' hobbv. That
factory has been completed for sev
eral months and it is one of the prin-1
cipal points of interest for sight
seers in thethriving industrial citv
of Lima.
Every department of the plant is
now complete. There is the forge
shop with its gigantic steam ham
mers used in making the drop forg
ings. In the heat treating depart-)
ment, are the massive ovens for an
nealing, the furnaces for heating and'
the tanks for ail and water quench- !
ing, used in the process of properly
treating the metals before they are 1
built into the trucks.
Next, there is a model machine
shop with its vista of modern ma- j
chinery of every description that |
seems to display almost human un-!
derstanding. Then came the sheet |
metal building, the tire room, the
chassis assembling department, the.
wood working department, the test,
track for the finished chassis, the <
paint shop and finally the huge room :
for the finished products. Every do- j
partment is as complete as its neigh-'
boring department and all, combin
ed. tend to produce that thorough
ness in manufacture which has!
spelled success for the Garford.
"Although the advantages of the j
motor truck are more widely recog
nized to-day than ever before, there
are many reasons why we. who un
derstand their efficiency, believe that
the present popularity of that type !
of vehicle is but the beginning of a
splendid era of success.
"Several circumstances have com- !
bined during the last year to awaken 1
the public to the necessity of com
mercial vehicle transportation.
"For example, the unprecedented:
volume of freight which our com
mon carries were suddenly called
upon to transport last "year, in some
instances involving an excess of 50
per cent., was an ill-wind that blew
good to the motor truck business.
• "The freight car shortage resulted
in thousands of new owners of mo
tor trucks. Horses were discarded
in favor of the power vehicle, be
cause the motor truck would help
alleviate the freight transportation
conditions. An ever-increasing num
ber of trucks, engaged in intercity [
trade, resulted and trucks made
many new friends.
"Had the freight car shortage ex
isted five years ago, it is probable
that business conditions would have
been paralyzed. Motor trucks, how
ever. saved the situation. Necessity |
proved that they had solved the
"short haul" problem and every one
of those thousands of new owners
of commercial vehicles became
staunch supporters of that method
of transportation. To-day. they are
telling their friends about it. Their
friends are buying trucks and the I
original owners are buying more !
trucks.
"The advantages of the motor j
truck, from the standpoint of busi- !
ness efficiency, economy and endur
ance. have been most satisfactorily
demonstrated. The additional motor
truck service, during the last few
months, has been the biggest selling
factor in the history of the busi
ness."
Chile Enjoys Boom
Through War Supplies
Before August. 1914. Europe and
the United States looked upon Chile j
as a country which offered vast op- i
portunities for trade, a country which i
would absorb all sorts of raw and
manufactured materials, in short a |
country which needed capital and ma
chinery and railroads and mills and j
was willing to pay for them. Inci- ,
dentally, it was conceded that the j
nitrate beds of Chile might be of j

great future value in the manufacture
of ftrtilizer.
But when Germany began its
march through Belgium and the great
er part of the civilized world began
making ready to wage war on a scale
hitherto unheard of, the munitions
workerr of England. France and the
United States suddenly realized the
war would be fought to a finish with
explosives of which nitrates are an
important constituent. They turned
their eyes and ships toward Chile.
And since that time the amount anu
value of Chilean nitrate exports have
risen meteorically. As a result Chile
is enjoying a state of prosperity un
like anything in its Ijistory.
This condition, according to Senor
Carlos Puelma Besa. head of the
house of gesa and Company, dealers
in Dodge Brothers motor csrs at Val
paraiso. Chile, will be responsible for
a large increase in almost every line
cf business. He is particularly opti
mistic about the automobile situa
tion, and while in Detroit a few days
ago irranged for ?. much larger num
ber of cars than had been shipped to
his firm in any previous year.
The increase in motor car business
already has resulted in the formation
of several automobile clubs, eight ot
which hav.e had quarters in Santiago,
the capita! and three in Valparaiso,
th> Wading seaport. The Automobile
Club of Valparaiso was organized only
two months before Senor Besa left
for the United States and in that time
the fames of more three hundred
members have been written upon the
rolls.
The initiation fee for this club Is
200 pesos, a peso being equal to 36H
cents. The dues amount to 10 pesos
per month. Profiting by America's
example of the economic value of good
roads, the Valparaiso organization is
already striving for systematic fed
eral aid in building and maintaining
surfaced roads. Their efforts in this
direction have been somewhat sim
plified by the existence of a law which
compels the national government to
double any gift for good roads—for
example, if some public-spirited citi
zen offers 100,000 pesos for the con
struction of hard-surfaced roads, an
additional 200,000 pesos is automat
ically available for the same purpose
from the national government.
Numerofls difficulties presented
themselves to automobile dealers
when they began business in Chile.
For instance, gasoline sells for 62H
cents a gallon in the larger cities and
more in the less accessible places,
while lubricating oils are correspond
ingly high.
So unaccustomed was the average
Chilean to the use of machinery that,
when motor cars were first imported,
chauffeurs were employed to operate
them. These chauffeurs received sala
ries ranging from 200 to 300 pesos a
month. A Dodge Brothers touring car
with a uniformed driver and occupied
by but a single passenger was no un
common sight on the streets of Val
paraiso or Santiago.
More recently, however, a great
majority of the young Cliilean men
have learned to drive their cars ami
chauffeurs are becoming comparative
rarities, being restricted to wealth- !
ier families. Women drivers are al
most an unknown quantity, accord- I
ing to Senor Besa.
Motorcycle Equipment
For Machine Gun Co.
Businessmen of Portland, Ore.,
have raised a fund and purchased
twenty motorcycles, fifteen of which
are fitted with sidecars, to equip the I
machine gun company of the Third
Oregon Infantry.
The campaign to equip a company
with two-wheelers was started by
two members of the company. They
solicited funds for the purchase of
the equipment from businessmen
and houses the city over and met
with marked success. The five solo
machines are to be used for dispatch
carrying and signal corps work, and
will also serve the sergeant in charge
of range finding, while the sidecar
machines will be used for carrying
three members of the company each.
Machine guns will be carried on
one side of the sidecar, and en
trenching tools on the other. The
guns will be removed from the side
cars for action.
The machine gun company 1s
made up of Oregon's most famous
track and road racers, and they are
well drilled, all of them having been
on the Mexican border last sum
mer. The company is now doing
Patrol duty guarding the railroad
bridges which span the Columbia
and Willamette rivers and connect
the East with the Pacific coast.
Lemoyne to Give Reception .
to Machinegun Company

little doubt but Lemoye's adieu to
the machine gun company of the
Eighth Regiment on Monday night
will be a success. In the first day s
campaign for contributions a large
amount of money was secured from
the businessmen of the toivi. Sev.
eral bands will be engaged and the
reception is expected to surpass all
previous celebrations of any kind.
The machine gun company is com
posed largely of residents from the
entire West Shore and invitations
are being extended to other towns
to take part in the farewell.

CANNING RULES
ARE EXCHANGED
BY HOUSEWIVES
YOU with hundreds of other housewives have successful methods
of canning, preserving and drying foods and fruits which have
either been handed down to you from generations of your an
which you have evolved. Ths feature of the HAKRIS-

maximum amount of good.
PRESERVING CANNING DRYING
without previous experience, and with no other equipment than that
to be found in almost every home, anyone, adult or child should be
able to can food satisfactorily by the methods which follow.
They are a combination of the best methods fcund by the Gov.
ernment and the housewives of Central Pensylvania. By the methods
various vegetables, soups, meats, fish and practically any other food
or combination of foods can be canned, as well as fruits and tomatoes,
the products most commonly canned.
The simple, general rules necessary for successful canning, by
the one period, cold pack methods will be given.
In all home canning it should be born in mind that when hermetic
ally sealed containers are difficult to obtain, food products which
cannot be preserved easily in other ways should be given preference.
Ths would make inadvisable in most cases at times like the present,
the canning of such products as hominy, dried beans, potatoes and
similar foods.
The following table shows the ap
proximate number of cans or jars that
can be filled per bushel of various
fruits and vegetables:

in canning some vegetables. The ta

In seasoning foods it should be kept
in mind that most vegetables as well
as meats are injured in flavor an-j |
quality by an excessive use of salt j
for seasoning in the canning process.
A little salt is very palatable and its j
use should be encouraged, but it is;
better to add no salt in canning than j
to use too much. Salt can be added
to suit the taste when canned goods
are served.
Sirups
Sirups are employed usualUr in
canning fruits. A formula much used
in some sections for sirup is three j
quarts of sugar to two quarts of wa- j
ter. boiled to a thin, medium thin,
medium thick or thick sirup The
formula sometimes called the eastern
formula is three quarts of water to
two quarts of sugar, boiled to a thin,
medium thin, medium thick or thick
sirup. The first formula may be used
in canning all kinds of fruits delicate
in flavor and texture and when sugar i
is low or reasbnable In price. When i
sugar is high in price and the char-

sirups of the approximate densities'
desired may be made easily without
regard to the table of sirup densit.J
which will be given later, and with
out the use of an instrument for de-!
termining density if the following
points are kept in mind:
Thin sirup is sugar and water'
| boiled sufficiently to dissolve all of i
1 the sugar, but is not sticky. Such
j sirup has a density of from 12 to 20 1
per cent.
Medium thin sirup is that which;
has became sticky when cooled on
the fingertip or spoon. Density of,
from 20 to 40 per cent.
Medium thick sugar is that whicn
has thickened enough to roll or pile j
up over the edge of the spoon when ' i
lit is poured out. Density of from i ;
; 40 to 50 per cent.
Thick sirup is that which has be-1
, come so thick that it is difficult to I :
. pour out of a spoon or container, but
is not sugared. Density from 50 to 64 j '
per cent.
Thin sirups are used for all sweet I I
fruits such as cherries, peaches, ap
i pies. etc.. that are not too delicate in 1
texture and color. Medium thin sirups
are used in canning medium sweet
fruits, such as blackberries, currants,'
! dewberries, huckleberries, raspber- i
i ries, etc. Medium thick sirups are
used in canning all sour fruits, such
; as gooseberries, apricots, sour apples. !
I etc.. and delicately colored fruits such !
as strawberries and red raspberries.

Fisk Rubbr Co. Buys
Gibney Tire Interests
On July 9, the Fisk Rubber Com
pany acquired by purchase the plant
I of the Gibney Tire and Rubber Com.
) pany at Conshohocken, Pa., where it
j will continue the manufacture of
solid tires on a larger scale than has
| ever been purchased by the Gibney
concern, a triple or even quadruple
production being promised to con
sumers and trade.
By the purchase, users and the
trade generally are assured that Gib
ney tires will continue to be avail
able, and in increased quantities.
For some time Gibney affairs had
! been clouded so that a creditor's
committee was named. It was to
this committee that the Fisk com
pany made its offer, through its
president. H. T. Dunn, about two
months ago, basing its price on mar
ket valuations.
The product of the Pennsylvania
plant will hereafter be known as
the "Gibney tire made by the Fisk
i Rubber Company, Chicopee Falls,
j Mass."
i Fortunately, the Gibney service
j stations in a number of cities, in
cluding Philadelphia and New York
) city, do not conflict with the Fisk
system, and they will be retained
practically Intact, as will the Gib
ney organization, save for James G.
i and John Gibney, who have resigned.,
i The Increased output, however, will
! be marketed not only by the Gibney
I system, but'by the more than 130
j sales branches of the Fisk company,
! thus placing the latter strongly to
j the fore in solid tires.
| The big solid tire unit being or-
I ganized at Chicopee Falls is designed
I to have an output of 2,000 solid tires
. a day, making it one of the largest
solid tire departments in the coun
try. It is to be irt operation as soon

Are a man than to hire him. To re
fuse to employ a man probably doe
him no great harm, but to discharge
him may leave a permanent Imprint
on his character. He may regard
himself as having been tried and
found wanting—a failure. I would
seldom fire a man for a single mis
take. Many men are stronger for
having once made a blunder. They
have profited by It and are resolved
that nothing llice it shall ever occur
again. I should much prefer to have
a man make mistakes—as long as he
isn't a repeater—than to make ex
cuses. ,A little excuse is a dangerous
thing. It is a habit that grows on
one. A man gets to depend on ex
cuses for careless work Instead of
striving to do the work properly. Tno
fellow who never has an excuse,
even for poor work, shows that he is
trying his best to do it right and has
at least a clear conscience.
