Small Truck Has Its Decided Advantages The tide of the German advance in the battle on the Marne was stemmed only by the efficient transportation system evolved by the French, and it is universally admitted that Ver dun would to-day be in Prussian hands had not their system been ade quate to transfer troops, supplies and equipment to the point attacked in the shortest space of time. And the fact that motorized transportation saved defeat in two of the biggest battles of the present war entitles it to its position as one of the great est factors in the world's economic problem. The Government has not been slow to learti the lesson and has ordered over "5,000 motortrucks because of the tremendous saving they eltect in time, labor and money. As a matter of fact, the possibilities of the truck in either war or peace are amazing. Kverything we eat or wear has to be handled and transported several times, and every handling increases the price. So commonsense has en dorsed the President's views on na tional thrift and a more economical way of doing things. Storage charges, congestion in freight yards, expensive hauling all yield to the efficiency of the ever-ready truck, and each deals a vital blow to the high cost of liv ing. Particularly is this true in the case of the small dealer where big de livery costs wipe out the profit. The great fallacy here is the tendency to select too big a truck where great waste occurs unless It is kept loaded to full capacity; the other evil is the use of converted pleasure cars where repair bills eat up all the profit. The truck must be built to fit the need, and the Vim Motor Truck Company of Philadelphia was the first company to see this and act upon it. In this their views were supported by the parcel post officials at Washington, who are authorities for the statement that {ls per cent, of all merchandise Is most economically moved in loads up to a half ton. And It is in this smaller unit that nearly 25,000 merchants have found the solution of their delivery problem. GORSON'S The right road to aatlfi ftrtlon.

Dial 5660 £ I ZIEIE" SATURDAY EVENING, Cadillac Sees Biggest Enclosed Car Year "If the records of our business iiro any indication, the standing of tile Cadillac as tho country's favorite en closed car !s assured," says E. Ui Howard, Cadillac sales manager. "This statement is made on the busir ness done last year. This year we expect to exceed that and to have the greatest enclosed car business lit the history of our company. "Last year the Cadillac Company built and delivered to its customer* more than 4,000 of its enclosed body types. The full meaning of this fig-, ure becomes apparent when It ' known that it represented approxi mately 22 per cent, of the Cadillac production; and when it is further considered that it is greater than the total output of many factories, in cluding both open and enclosed cars. "The orders on hand now for en closed cars of the new model make It necessary for us to lay our manu facturing plans for a number of these types even greater than we produced last year. Of the shipments of the new model already made, amounting] to several thousand, fully one-third have been enclosed cars. "Each season we find an increasing trend toward enclosed cars. This, in n measure, is accounted for by the gradual breaking down of the old Idea that an enclosed car is neces sarily for exclusive winter use. En closed cars are now used as exten sively In summer as they are In the colder seasons." WOMAN DIES SUDDENLY Marietta. Pa., Sept. 2 9. —Mrs. An nie T. Bream, aged 61, died suddenly while talking to her daughter, near Highmount. She was seized with a stroke of apoplexy.
