RURAL MERCHANT
IN TRUCK GAME
Storekeepers Add "Ship-by-
Truck" Departments to
Their Service
Is the rudal merchant, using his
own motor trucks, in the best posi
tion to make rural motor express
a big thing in American life?
Transportation experts in the
Chamber of Commerce at Indianap
olis are inclined to answer affirma
tively.
"That the rural merchant is in'a
position to give the first big impetus
to the rural motor Express and the
great things it will accomplish is in
dicated by the experience of Gen
try Brothers, general merchandise,
of Monrovia, Ind.," writes Joe Kelly
in the current issue of the trade jour
nal published by the Chamber of
Commerce of the Indiana capital
city.
"They have a fleet of four trucks
which are kept busy hauling mostly
to and from Indianapolis. The trucks
make money for Gentry Brothers.
They serve to enlarge the business
service of Gentry Brothers and to
take rnaney of the hauling burdens
off the community.
"Leaving Menrovia every morning
the men in charge of the trucks get
all the orders for goods in Indianap
olis the other merchants have and
on arriving in Indianapolis one man
goes to the various wholesale houses,
places these orders to be filled, and
then later in the day, after the loads
for Indianapolis have been delivered,
goes to each of these places, loads
the merchandise and starts the drive
home.
"Of course it is important to Gen
try Brothers that their own freight
from Indianapolis be handled prop
erly. Around their own transporta
tion demands all these other .ele
ments of service are built.
"The Gentry Brothers' store serves
as a sort of clearing house for de
liveries. If there is a full load the
the Gentry Brothers' truck goes to
the farm after it or to deliver it.
If it is but a small part of a load
'it is generally brought to the Gen
try Brothers' store by the farmer to
be hauled to Indianapolis. Or if the
order is lor a part for the farm
tractor or for other farm implements
Gentry Brothers haul it to their
own store and the farmer drives in
l and gets it."
Several other instances of rural
motor express curried on by mer
chants in Indiana towns are then
cited by the writer.
"Jap',' Jones, at Waverly.'t he
says, "has a motor truck, which is
a big investment for him, hauling
merchandise and provisions to and
from Indianapolis.
"At Louisville, Ind„ Lewis Broth
ers, merchants, utilize the motor
truck to carry the products of their
community to Indianapolis and take
back supplies from the Indianapolis
wholesalers. The same thing is done
in Eminence, where Eliot Brothers
and V. A. Reitzell, both merchants
wit hplenty of initiative, find not
only that this motor truck hauling
is porfitable, but that it enlarges the
influence of their stores."
In calling attention to this phase
of the ship-by-truck movement, the
Firestone Shlp-by-Truck Bureau at
Akron, 0., writes as follows to J.
H. Dutch, manager of the Harris
burg branch of the bureau, at 212
North Second street:
"We believe the Indianapolis
Charnber of of Commerce has offer
ed a valuable suggestion to rural
merchants and one well worthy of
consideration by your branch. By
presenting the possibilities suggest
ed in the rural communities of your
territory you shoU|d be performing a
real service not only to country
storekeepers but also to the com
munities at large. •
"The rural storekeeper is a bus
iness man. He will not give the
ship-by-truck movement a Jrtack eye
by taking unwarranted chances. He
will figure costs closely and pro
ceed cautiously. Starting with a
single truck he will Jbvelop a fleet
as the need makes itself evident.
The people of the community know
htm'and will not hesitate to trust
their goods in his hands. At first
liis own business will engage most
of his truck capacity. With this
business as the backbone of the
new undertaking, he can develop the
motor truck express business as one
of the d*t>artments of his store, with
profit to himself and to his com
munity."

HARJ USBTJttG flFflftfkl TELEGRAPH
SENATE FINALLY
CONFIRMS PALMER
Approves Selection as Attor
ney General After a
Long Session .
Washington, Aug. 30.—1n an ex
ecutive session , which lasted two
hours an<t a half, the Senate lest
night without a record vote con
firmed the -nomination of A. Mitch
ell Palmer to be Attorney Geneial.
Confirmation of Mr. Palmer's
nomination terminated a fight
which began last session and which
grew out of criticisms of his ad
ministration of the office of alien
property custodian.
Opposition to his nomination re
sulted in blocking action upon it at
the close of the last session but
when the present session convened.
President Wilson again sent it to
the Senate. At the request of Sen
tor Frclinghuysen, Republican, New
Jersey, it wa# referred to the ju
diciary committee which appointed
a subcommittee which held exten
sive hearings and later by unani
mous vote favorably reported the
nomination and exonerated the At
torney General of any wrong doing
in connection with the office of alien
property.
At the executive session last night
most of the time, it was understood,
was taken up by Senator Frcling
huysen in an attack upon Mr. Pal
mer during which the New Jersey
Senator read extensively from testi
mony taken at the hearings y in an
effort to show he was unfitted for
the position. Senators Stearling,

* New Reo "Six" i

S A llll mechanically it is the epitome of Reo experience—the ripest in the industry—as it is also the J
£ crowning achievement of Reo engineering. a
% We are tempted to use up a lot of space telling you of the many points of superiority of this latest
£ Reo, but we purposely refrain—for v/e want merely to whet your appetite and excite your curiositv * 3
so you will come in and see it.
% For only then can you appreciate the tremendous strides that have been made in design and <
construction and finish of a motor car. ' r s
I I We will say this —in one regard this Reo transcends all others—even its own predecessors. |J
I That is in the lubricating system. I
Can you imagine—you experienced motorists—how much longer the life and how much greater 1
the satisfaction of driving an automobile if you could be certain that every moving part everv
part not only of motor, transmission, and axles, but of chassis as well—were constantlv and oosi- 3
tively bathed in oil? J *]
Well you will find in this new Reo Six a lubricating system that guarantees just that. §
Need we say more to induce you to come in at your earliest Convenience to see—to studv in detail
—to ride in—and to yourself drive—this latest product of the Reo laboratories.
This is the "Six" you asked us tp-build—a six of that quality that guarantees satisfactory oer- i
formance with longevity and low upkeep.
