MOTORTRUCK
RISEGRADUAL
Production Never Forced,
Giving Ample Time For
Large Improvements
The motor truck was not forced.
No extraordinary demand required
that manufacturers entering this
field of manufacturing, hurry their
production to stupendous propor
tions, as was the case with the pas
senger car makers, who found a
demand upon them long before their
product had rea'ched its point of per
fection. Truck makers developed
their trucks, made vehicles In small
quantities, and increased production
as fast as the demand required.
They found no great and pressing
necessity for hurrying, and did not
do so. W. B. Hurlburt, president of

SATURDAY EVENING,
pany, who entered the motor truck
field aa a manufacturer with $12,-
000 capital, turned oOt four trucks
and marketed them in New York.
That was his first year's work. His
output was added to year by year
until now the company Is manufac
turing 1,800 trucks for this year,
and doubling orders on material. Mr.
Hurlburt believes that the perfection
reached by motor trucks in service
to-day was due to the comparatively
I small outputs of the makers, the op
-1 portunlty pnasented in that way for
careful observation and correction of
• minor details, in some instances, and
| larger details in others, as the prod
| uct developed, and in many instances
j to the marketing of the product by
I makers close at hand, enabling the
j maker himself to more closely watch
I his trucks. Errors of construction
! with few trucks in operation did little
j damage. "When the war broke out,"
! said Mr. Hurlburt, "the truck came
I into its own. The war required the
j use of thousands upon thousands by
the Allies for years, and the number
; required now is multiplied through
the participation of the United
! States in war. The result has been
j the broadening out of production,
and this is due not only to the war,
but to the success attained by Ame
rican trucks at the front, and the
consequent advertising given to the
commercial car all over the world.
The American market has grown
amazingly since the war started, and
had shown most startling growth
previous to the American entry to
the great struggle in Europe. Suc
cess of America's trucks caused in
ternational demands upon the makers
of this country, and as a consequence
the makers of America, including
ourselves are broadening out in
business and entering upon greatly
increased production. Through the
careful building up of the industry
to the point of reliability of produc
tion, the motor truck industry has
grown to be one of the most Impor
tant American industries."
LIBERTY SIX
AGENCY IN CITY
Harrisburg Auto and Tire
Repair Co. Are the
Distributors
The new Liberty Six Motor Car
that has been creating such a sensa
tion in the city of New York, is now
being distributed in this territory
by the Harrisburg Auto and Tire
Repair Co., of 131 S. Third street.
This new motor is a product of
several notable engineers who have
made a study of motor car needs and
have embodied them into the Lib
erty Six. The motor is of the six
cylinder type and is built exclusively
for the Liberty Car, by no less a na
tional concern than the Continental
j Motor Corporation. This concern,
has a reputation for building/as near
perfect a motor as modern science
and ingenuity can be made to con
struct. They have put into the Lib
erty Six all that their complete force
of experienced engineers know about
motor cars.
For beauty and power .ease of con
trol and comfort in riding, it is
claimed that this new Liberty is the
equal of many of the higher priced
cars. It is economical in running
and is built for long service.
The Liberty chassis is marked for
its simplicity; it is sturdy and com
pact. There Is a noticeable difference
in its construction as regards rods
and - springs and complicated parts.
It also is a product of the best en
gineering talent and has been so con
structed as to eliminate many of the
heretofore 'necessary' complicated
parts.
For power and efficiency it 'gets
there." Hills and long runs are cov
ered with ease. Its conomlcal tire
cost together with many other prom
inent features make it a desirable
car of moderate price.

! WAR SAVING DAY
IS PROCLAIMED
Governor Issues Call to Peo
ple of State to Invest in
the Stamps at Once
Friday, June 28, was to-day pro
claimed as "War Savings Day" in
Pennsylvania in a proclamation is
sued by Governor Martin G. Brum
i The proclamation makes a
special call upon the people to buy
War havings Stamps and says it Is
Incumbent upon the people to buy
! | far In excess of the allottinent made
Iby the government to this Com
monwealth. The Governor makes a
special call for the* purchase of as
large an amount as possible each
month.
The proclamation is as follows —
"Ahereas, In compliance witli
the piiclaui.'kd wish of the
President of the United
States, it is determined that the
people of this Commonwealth
shall have in this month the ©p
. portunlty of expressing once
more their love and loyalty to
this Republic in its hour of su
preme need, by making, to the
point of sincere sacrifice, con
tributions to its support and
thus acquiring the habit of sav
ing and service, and providing
in a practical and effective way
the funds essential to a suc
cessful issue in this world war,
and,
"Whereas, True patriotism
will manifest itself only by mak
ing such t sacrifices and by deny
ing one's self the accustomed
good usually enjoyed. Unless
we give until we feel the giving
keenly, we have not given
worthily. Unless we love our
| country enough to suffer for it,
we are its unworthy sons. Un
less we give beyond the nations
urging we have not really sup
ported the government. Unless
we all sense theis war obligation
as our own, the nation will fal
ter and perhaps fail, and,
"Whereas, The War Savings
Stamps place before every citi
zen a simple and effective means
of aiding the Government, it is'
Incumbent upon us to purchase
these Stamps far in excess of the
allotment made by the National
Government, thus making mani
fest our solid support of the na
tion in its holy enterprise, and
securing to ourselves the con
sciousness of patriotic purpose
and national loyalty.
"Now, Therefore, I, Martin
G. Brumbaugh, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania, do hereby call upon all
our people, men, women and
children, to observe Friday,
June 28th, 1918, as War Savings
Day, upon ,which day or soon
er, at the place and in the man
ner directed by the State Di
rectors, let our people pledge
themselves to purchase, month
by month, as large amount of
War Savings Stamps as our re
sources, our sacrifices and our
patriotism will permit. Let no
one in Pennsylvania own less
than his allotted amount of
these evidences of national
fealty. I call upon all our peo
ple to make it a personal cb
llgation to urge this duty both
by pr?ccpt end by exam*>)c.
This splendid Commonwealth
should, as so frequently in the
past crises of this nation, lead
all the rest."

PRICES LOWER
THAN IN 1910
Large Tire Concern Gives
Tire Users Some Conso
lation in This Fact
Despite the fact that automobile
tires have recently been increased
ten per cent, in price because of war
conditions, the United States Tire
Company points out that these high,
war-time prices are substantially
less than tire users paid eight or
nine years ago for tires which were
in construction and materials much
inferior to the tires of to-day.
,„, Th ® records of the United States
Tire Company show that in 1910 the
company s plain-tread tire, size 34x4,
which is the standard of comparison
*? o l i re P r ' ces > cost the consumer
$48.30, and that the same style of
•of JT® acheß the consumer to-day for
Thls meana that the tire
.j * w hich would to-day be con
sidered antiquated, cost the con
sumer about forty-six per cent, more
than the splendidly constructed tire
of to-day.
The improvements In tire con
struction have taken place along
three essential lines; materials, the
preparatory treatment of the ma
terials, and the process by which
the treated materials are brought
together into the final product. A
great deal of progress has been made
with respect to each one of these
essentials.
The materials which enter into the
construction of plain-tread tires are
rubber-compounding ingredients and
cotton fabrics. The rubber—es
pecially plantation rubber—ls com
<on ma rket in a much more
uniform condition, which makes it
possible for manufacturers to turn
""t a tire of more uniform quality:
J l , respect to compounding In
gredients, a number of new and
better materials have been discov
ered. Cotton fabric is also greatly
uifl of to that which was used in
v. because better constructions
of the fabric have been developed
to suit the special needs of tires. In
addition, these fabrics are now built
according to very carefully drawn
specifications, which are very re
stricted and insure a uniformly high
grade material.
The preliminary treatment of ma
terials has bee.i improved through
the introduction of superior methods
of drying and mixing crude rubber
and through the development of new
methods of storing, drying and rub
ber-coating the cotton fabric.
The processes of assembling the
different parts of the arUcle and of
vulcanizing the tires, have been so
greatly improved since 1910, that
the progress made might be con
sidered revolutionary. Further,
labor-saving machinery and appli
ances have greatly aided-in bringing
down the price of tires.
j^^News!
Motorcycle enthusiasts are begin
ning to look forward with eagerness
to the pleasure promised by the Na
tional Gypsy Tours, June 22 and 23
Officials of the Federation of Ameri
can Motorcyclists, conducting the
tour, have completed all the neces
sary arrangements and done every
thing possible to make the event a
success.
The National Gypsy Tours are
pleasure tours in which every motor
cycle rider may participate, obtain
ing a maximum of enjoyment with a
minimum of effort and expense, and
the success of the 1917 Gypsy Tours
has made the event the biggest an
nual affair In motorcycledom. Last
year 22,000 riders took part, and In
dications point to at least 30,000 en
tries this year.
Each rider successfully finishing
the tour will be presented with a
handsome bronze medal, while rid
ers who are F. A. M. members and
who complete the tour will receive
a bar at the top of their medals, sig
nifying that they are members of
the national motorcyclists' organiza
tion. The three clubs having the
largest entry lists will receive spec
ial honor trophies in the form of
handsome silver loving cups.
But the real, honest to goodness
drawing card for the outdoor enthu
siast is the fun promised by the
event, and there will be plenty of
that.
The local Motorcycle Gypsy Tour
is being organized by the Keystone
Motorcycle Club of this city.
Riders who wish to take part—
and all local motorcyclists should
take part—are urged to leave their
names at the club or Heagy Bros.,

Flake Graphite Now
Used in Etagine Cylinders
The porfect librlcant for gas en
gines should either be consumed en
tirely in the cylinder or not at all.
An eminent authority on gas en
gine cylinder lubrication after many
experiments found that the lubri
cant that was not consumed at ail
retained its full lubricating value iis
long as it remained in the cylinder.
On the other hand, the lubricant
that is only partially consumed
leaves a carbon deposit, while the
lubricant that Is entirely consumed
leaves the cylinder dry.
Flake Mqtor Grkphlte meets the
requirements fully because the in
