For example—there are two ways of making a steel rod strong. One way is by making it bulky— the other is by scientific heat treatment —a stronger rod from one-half to one-quarter the size and weight. * * * Motor truck transportation must move goods at the lowest cost —you must be able to figure on the costs beforehand and depend upon their cor rectness afterward—or there is no science to it. Motor truck transportation as a science must start with an efficient motor truck. * * * To get to the transportation value of a motor truck, you must dig under the pretty paint which covers it. Just because a truck looks like a brute—built up with tons of extra metal is no sign it can go the distance or do the work. Motor trucks built to sell by the ton wear them selves out under their own weight. They consume nearly as much gasoline and oil without a load as an efficient truck uses when loaded. They are more expensive to maintain as they grow older, because poor workmanship and un even quality in material show up to a greater de gree the longer a truck is in use. ♦ ♦ # Packard trucks are built for transportation effi ciency.

Body Embalmed by New Method Is Carried to Grave by Airplane A now method of embalming will be demonstrated at a meeting of the undertakers of Harrisburg to-mor row morning at 10 o'clock at the plant of the Harrisburg Burial Case Company. This new method was used in At lantic City recently and the body held four weeks without showing any signs of deterioration. At the same time the National Funeral Directors' Association and the New Jersey State Association had a dem onstration of the possibilities of the airplane as a vehicle for funeral purpose usee. The body of the child embalmed by the new method was placed aboard a big airplane, ac companied by Theodore F. Maiser, representing the association, and was borne swiftly away across the meadows to the mainland where the friends and relatives had gathered at a grave prepared Thin is the first instance of a corpse being oarricd to the grave in nn aerial hearse. The Idea of the demonstration was to show the undertakers how bodies may be most quickly transported In cases where it is Important to take them from one place to another as j rapidly as possible. Blood-Iron Phosphate Makes Thin Folks Fat Or Money Back If you are weak, thin and ema ciated and can't put on flesh or get strong, no matter how much you eat. go to George A. Gorgn* or anv other good druggist and get enough' Blood- Iron Phosphate for a three weeks' treatment—it costs only 50 cents a week—and take as directed. If at the end of three weeks you don't feel stronger and better than you have for months; if your eyes aren't bright er and your nerves steadier; if you don't sleep better, and your vim, vigor and vitality aren't mora than doubled, or If you haven't put on several pounds of good stay-there flesh, you can have your money back for the asking and your trial of Blood-Iron Phosphate will cost you nothing. Where weight is needed for strength, we use weight—but where it is not needed, no expense is spared in replacing it with whatever science has to offer. For example, Packard represents the highest heat treating achievement as applied to commercial vehicles. Parts of a Packard truck, heat-treated, 6how from 35,000 to 62,000 pounds per square inch more strength than the average of other makes. Packard quality begins to show from the start off. It shows more and more as the mileage in creases. It outlasts the paint by years. There are a hundred thousand economical miles built into every Packard. Many Packard trucks have run twice that. • • • Packard efficiency counts in the science of transportation. Your business man wants, not only low costs, but dependable costs. Both these, the use of the Packard truck in v sure him. To business men who have hot yet begun to place trucking on a scientific cost-keeping basis, we offer the services of the Packard Freight Transportation Department.* You need not be a Packard owner to avail yourself of our aid. Packard Service in this re spect is without charge and truck owners may use it without feeling under obligation.
