ELIMINATE WASTE
One of the largest developers of waste in any business
is the Delivery Problem. Time, energy, labor,' all enter 1
into the question. (
Big business to-day is eliminating every article that
means waste in their business and employing means that 1 |
will give them the result they want. I
International Motor Trucks are numbered among the ,
first means of remedying waste. They are economical and
serviceable and reduce labor to a minimum. Those are the
fundamental principles on which efficient delivery prob- |
lems are conducted.

FOFR BOYS SEEM TO HAVE
BEEN DOING SOME JOY
RIDING*
In the arrest last week of four
boys who have been creating con
siderable worry to automobile
owners, the police hope to clear up
a situation that had grown to alarm
ing proportions. According to their
own confessions these boys have
stolen at least twenty-one automo
biles from the streets of Harrisburg.
simply for joy-riding.
While all the automobiles werp
found and returned to their owners,
never-the-less these same boys are
guilty in the eyes of the law of
stealing personal property valued at
thousands of dollars. The question
Is whether they will be punished
severely enough that they will re
member that other peoples automo
biles are not for Joy-riding purposes
and can not be picked up at will,
used, and then left stranded by the
roadside while the owner is franti
cally hunting it high and low and
the police departments spending
good money in trying to locate it.
The tender ages of these boys may
possibely help them out of a very
serious situation but it is hoped that
what ever the punishment may be
it will learn these boys the lesson
of their sweet young lives.

TRUCKS AND TRACTORS TO
BE ON EXHIBITION AT AUTO
SHOW
It has been decided by the Motor
Dealers Association to permit
Trucks and Tractors to be on ex
hibition at the Auto Show to be
held here March 15 to 22. For
some time there was considerable
controversy between some ot the
dealers as to whether these two
motor vehicles would bo permitted
at the show.
Due to the fact that a large num
ber of dealers liandlo either a truck
or tractor, it was finally decided to
alot a certain amount of space aside
from that to be occupied by passen
ger cars, for the exhibition of trucks
and tractors, making practically a
i separate show for these products.
This is sure to attract a larger
attendance that might not come to
see just the passenger cars. Many
business men and farmers are in
terested in trucks and tractors and
will attend wher they know that
they will not havo to hunt around
all over tho building for the pro
position they are most interested in.
Membership in the Motor Club of
H*i risburg is sure to lie boosted
considerably *thtr coming season
by the large number of people who
have had their mind changed in re
gards to what a motor club really
Is and what It means to a cummu
nlty Quite a few people hnve been
under the impression that a Motor
Club was a social affair of some
sort and never took interest enough
in the matter to investigate. As a
matter of fact, a few of tho things
. . the Motor Club of Harris
burg will show tho skeptics just
what advantages this club is to
them. For instance you would still |
bo paying ten cents toll across the
bridges here if it wasn't for tho
Motor Club. You would still be,
running through the mud on the
river road north of the city if it
was'nt for' the Motor Club. Many
cases of illegal arrest and petty
graft has been eliminated by tho
Motor Club. They also erected toad
signs throughout tho surrounding
country. They offer a standing re
ward for the arrest of the thief who
steals the automobile of a member.
Many other things are to be added
to the credit of the club, and the
one big thing necessary to make
this club a real benefit to this com
munity Is a large membership.
MOTORIST LOOKING FOR
WARD TO BILL I'ItOVIDIN'G
LIGHTS O WAGONS
The present legislature Is ex
pected to pass a bill that will com
pel all wagons to show some kind
of a light when travelling on the
public highways at night. This has
'been a perplexing problem in the
past few years due to the large in- i
, crease In motor vehicles and the .
decrease in wagons. Many a ser- j
ious accident has been caused be- j
cause some one was travelling with- '
out a light. I
Every owner of an automobile In
Harrisburg knows the danger that
lurks along the river drive above the
city where machines travelling in
both directions make it practically
Impossible to see a wagon until you
are almost lnti it and then nine
times out of ten it is to late to
avert running into It. Especially
is this notlcable on Saturday even
ings when farmers are going home
from market. If these people would
only realize what a light on their
wagon would mean in the way of
protection they would be sure to see
that a bill of some kind was made
to compell every one to display a
light.
The Motor Dealers Association is
now 100 per cent of all the dealers
In the city. This organization is
conducted by the dealers to further
the automobile business and to give
better service to their patrons.
Working in conjunction with the
Motor Club of Harrisburg, big im
provements in motoring conditions
are expected the coming season.
BRENNER MOTOR CO. EXPECT
BIG SEASON IN SALE OF CARS
The Brenner Motor Company,
local distributors ot Kissel and
Briscoe Cars are looking forward
to a very prosperous season in the
sale of cars, according to C. C.
High, general manager of this com
pany.
E. C. Greib and H. B. Wall of
tho W. Clark Greib Co., of Phila
delphia, Eastern distributors of
these cars were visitors here this
week arranging for shipments for
the coming season. Both gentlemen
say that more cars will be sold this
year than any other year In the
history of motor cars.
Mr. Grlcb speaking of the Kissel
Car said that there would be very
little change in the lines of the car
this year and that the present price
would be guaranteed until June and
that the prospects on prices after
that date were very much in the
dark although if present prospects
for materials didn't change any
there would be an increase instead
of a decrease.
CHELSA AUTO WRECKING
SELLING USED CAR PARTS
During the past year the Chelsa
Auto Wrecking Establishment has
broken all records in the sale of
used car partß. The demand created
for these parts has been for two
reasons; the scarcity of standard
parts and the traffic conditions in
getting them shipped from the fac
tory.
..The firm bujys used cars and dis
mantels the parts, sorting out the
parts that will give further service
and junking all other parts. This
is a branch of the automobile busi
ness that has grown to large pro
portions and is one of the steps in
the great conservative moves if this
country during war times. There
are or rather was thousands of dol
lars worth of parts each year that
was thrown on the Junk pile that
would give practically as good ser
•vice as a new part. Sorting them
out and using them again is.not only
a conservative idea but one that
means the saving of thousands of
dollars to the owners of automo
biles.
