SATURDAY EVENING,
throughout Central Pennsylvania.
Mr. Crispen, the head of this tirm
has bee® connected with the sales
of cars since Its infancy and is well
qualified in handling a sales* and
service of any kind of car.
Recent events in the world of mo
tor cars have changed conditions
jconsiderably, especially with passen
; ger cars in view of the fact that the
I government have curtailed the man
jufacture of these cars after the first
of the year, and a large number of
concerns have taken- over some kind
of truck to take the place of the
passenger car.
The Crispen Motor Car Company
have purchased the rights of the In
ternational for this territory. The
ilnternational is backed by one of
the largest manufacturing concerns
lin the United States who have fac
tory branches and distributing points
iall over the country. Harrisburg is
lone of the factory branches.
| These trucks need no introduction
jin this territory, there being a large
'number on the road at the present
I time. Several of the large depart
jment stores and wholesale houses of
this city and vicinity have been using
international for a number of years.
I The Crispen Motor Car Company
have opened salesrooms and offices
at 103 Market street, and a service
station at 29 North Cameron street.
They will carry a complete line of
parts and supplies and will be back
, ed up by the factory branch here.

NAVY NOW USES
•'DRY LAND SHIPS'
Motor Cars Are in Service
From Maine to' Cal
ifornia
(By B. p, Bnrker. Mgr. Miller Auto
Company.)
In the early days of the Naval
Militia, which was formed from the
ranks of the State Militia, our pres
ent National Guardsmen, it was not
an uncommin sight on the occasion
of Decoration Day and Fourth of
July parades to see the embryo naval
officers, mounted on horses with
arms extended, and bumping up and
down in the saddle, endeavoring to
lead their divisions. Of course, it
was never intended that any one
connected with the navy should ride
horseback. The legs of a sailor are
sea. legs and out of place around a
horse's belly. What a funny sight it
would be for the civilian to observe
the commander of one of our battle
ships, riding fore and aft, on horse
back reviewing the activities of the
ship's crew. Well it was just as
funny to the officers in the regular
service to see the Naval Militia offi
cers on horseback in a parade.
However, with the advent of the
motorcar, it is seldom nowadays that
you find a naval officer above the
rank of junior lieutenant walking.
The motorcar is the horse of the
navy. Thousands are in use at the
great training stations, nav;j yards
and mobilizing ports. The use of
the motorcar for transferring offi
cers and men has steadily develop
ed until motor trucks, called by the
navy "Dry Land Ships," are prov
ing invaluable in this service, both
for transporting men and mater
ials.
One of the most popular makes
of a motor truck with the Navy De
partment in all branchess of service
is the dependable Diamond T, made
by the Diamond T Motor Car Co. of
Chicago. As is seen in the illustra
tion, Diamond T trucks have been
placed In service by the Navy De
partment virtually from Maine to
California, and from the Twin Cities
to the Gulf of Mexico. We llnd them
in Hawaii, and large numbers have
recently been sent to France and
Japan for the Army. As a rule, we
And where good engineering prac
ticess are a determining factor in the
purchase of proper equipment the
Navy Department naturally is more
discerning in its selections than any
other branch Of the government.
There is no gucswprk permitted in
the Navy. Every part of a ship is.
of course, a problem in engineering,
and so much depends, upon correct
assembly and scientific practice, that
the education to" qifality as an offi
cer in the Navy is one calling for
constant concentration and applica
tion. In the selection of Diamond
T trucks for navy use, it is natural
to suppose that the perfection of
construction, developed through
eleven years of practical motor
building experience and the satis
factory service of the truck in over
land transportation had a "great
deal to do with the decision of the
purchasing department.
The business of the Diamond T
Motor Car Co. has steadilv increased
and legitimately so, until their plant
is the largest exclusive motor truck
factory in the United States.
