Expensive To Buy Motor Trucks
By the Ton
Look at the Use of a Motor Truck from
the Transportation Angle and the Economy
of Packard Efficiency is Apparent
STRENGTH is not necessarily a matter of
weight in motor trucks or anything else.
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.
