Visualising the new possibilities ia
modern transportation, exactly 3fio
motor trucks took part la a Ship-by-Truck
parade ia Brooklyn, oa Colow
bus Day. They made, ap a Irala 5
miles long, which was three ' fcoura
winding its way through the streets It
ia estimated that a million and a half
persons looked on. v
Borough President Edward Belgel
maaa, who. ia quoted an saying the dem
onstration was "as eloquent an answer
to food profiteers aa could be given,"
and he wae well pleased with the par
ade after reviewing it.
Calling" attention to the fact that two
horses rode in one of the trucks as ex
hibits of a by-gou age, the New York
City newspaper' in its account of the
parade says:
"A trolley ear clanged defiance at the
long line of its menacing rivals, fore
runners of a new transit age. And the
uorsestpricked up their ears anoSaeemed
to grin mockingly at' the clamorous
thing on rails, as if realizing it was
doomed, as they were, to be swept into
oblivion .by a new era. The history of
Trackless Town was beginning.
' "It was a' picturesque spectacle, as
aa historical one. A eoa company had
soap cakes weighing 500 pounds each
oa one of iis trucks. A sugar company
exhibited a huge block of sugar. A
biscuit company exhibited forty trucks,
every one of them ladea heavily with
crackers and biscuits.- Aa ammunition
factory showed a huge shining torpedo,
surrounded by white-clad sailors.
Everywhere the people are most fc-
feeptive to the Hhlp by Truck idea, ac
cording to the Firestone Ship by Track
Bureau, which is fostering the demon
strations as psrt of ita campaigns, for
the trucking industry. The bureau has
branches ia 6.1 cities in the United
States, The Mills Tire Company on
Wilmingtoa and Davie streets .coven
this section. It conducta a return loads
bureau to bring shippers and truck
operators together. No- charge is made
for the services of the bureau.
NECESSARY LUXURIES
FOR BESTOF TOURING
. If you think quick acceleration and
quirk braking ate ear luxuries, ask the
traffic cop or the seasoned tour-fan.
They will smile at your artlessness
first, and then put you right, at eon
siderable length.
"The fact is," said T. E. Jarrard,
vice-president of 'the Appersoa Bros.
Automobile Co, the other day, "for
modern traffic conditions, quick accel
eration and quick braking are the main
' The number of motor vehicles in
Mexico City and suburbs that comprise
the Federal district, according to statis
tics acquired at different municipal
registration offices, follows: Pleasure
earn (private), 2,337; pleasure cars (for
public use), 1,916; jitneys, 1404; motor
trucks,' 1H6; total number of cars in
Mexico City, 5,493; the total (estima: -n
number of ears in the Mexican republic
is 18,000.
It is estimated .by dealers in Mexieo
City that 8 per cent of the- populatioa
of this city are able to purchase ears.
The roads are in a bad condition and
little is being done to improve them.
The number of motor trucks has in
creased in tea years from 4,000 to near
ly 500,000.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calomel
when a few cents bujfs Dodson's Liver
Tonea perfect substitute for Calomel.
TDodson's Liver Tone" la a pleasant,
! vegetable liquid which will start your
liver just as surely aa calomel, but it
doesn't make, you aide and eta not
salivate. ...
, Childrea and grow folks eaa take
Dodson's Liver Tone, .bcMuse it is

reliance of the man who, wants to get
about quickly. More and more it is
getting to be a esse of ahoot from the
hip or miss. The cop at the corner
won't intervene if a fast ear shoots in
ahead of you at the crossing.
"V'ou need a" quick acceleration " for
a qniek get-away, at the crossing and
a quick brake to alow down for a sud
den traffic jam. Of course, quick aeosU
eration and quick braking simply meaa
control mean ear quick on its feet

."And in touring, also, full control
is half the fun in going over the un
familiar roadup and down the grades
and round k air-pin turves.
The Appersoa acceleration and
braking it about the last word in those
two niotor necessary luxuries.- The
Apperson Eight accelerates from 1 to
40 mile aa hoar ia SO seconds and
brake from 40 miles aa hour to a dead
stop la 4 seconds 40 yards. .There's
control for you!

and you will feel weak, sick and nau
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone' instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No mora bilious,
ness, constipation, sluggishness, head

EASE of handling is comparative.
The ocean liner is easy to handle
, in the open ocean with leagues of water
in which to maneuver. But the Sil
houette Five i like the swift white
launch darting in and out among the
harbor shipping '
It is instantly responsive to the gen
tlest pressure. The Jordan arrange
ment of the steering apparatuses a
marvel of precise control. The perfect
balance of the car, the careful distribu
tion of weight, the length and strength'
of springs and the delicate suspension
all contribute to unerring forward mo-
1 Tqws
tion, with no side-sway. In its applica
tion of power, the Jordan Siljiouette is
supreme. Acceleration is not a leap
but a swift, plane-like glide. There is
no jerking or struggling the road sim
ply flows past
Women, appreciate the ease and
restfulness of driving the Silhouette
Five as they appreciate its fashionable
lines, its harmonious coloring and its
perfect appointments.
They welcome rdistinctly fine light
car a five passenger car in which qual
ity has been made the compelling ideal.

The War's Best Lesson
During; the war The American Motor Co.
made parts on which the chief demand was for
Accuracy and Quality. "
' Their entire organization was saturated with
these ideals Accuracy and Quality. ; ' ; V ;1! :
Their performance on Government contracts
was so efficient that they had no rejections.
Th Benefits Remain. ' " ',:-.-,
When they went back to their Truck produc
tion for peace purposes, they knew their lesson
perfectly Accuracy and TQuality. :- -
They realized that business had been lacking
in Accuracy and Quality, but that no perma-
nently good or profitable product could come '
out of a shop that didn't work to these ideals
Accuracy and Quality. So they made Ace
Trucks to the moral and ethical standard in--stead
of to price, 1 , ; ,v -
They went beyond the habitual requirements
in Truck manufacture and made a complete

J lie that it was foolish and wasteful to do things ,
half-way. "
. Now th Public Demands the Real Thing
V'i The Piibflc demands genuine high quality to-
day. .- The Public is the final judge, and the Pub
lic insists on absolute quality real goods bet-.

The Public knows that quality pays. The
Public is ready for prices that signify quality.
. The Public also has learned the war's best les
' son, and insists on examination, inspection,
tests, proof, and absolute.conviction as to Accu- :
racy and Quality. f
v On this basis Ate Trucks, completely
equipped, are '-reasonably and attractively v
priced, and the volume of orders booked by -deposits
