Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1920. EXPERIMENT IS Frank Predicts Rubber Product Prepared Late Shipment of Truck Season to Withstand Oil, Says Shows Great Deviation g for Closed Car Models. Ogden Automobile Man. From Usual Construction. Botterill Record-Breakin- ! "We have eotne good news this week for the family of Dodge said Frank Bot-terBrothers enthusiasts. "There will be several yesterday. carload shipments of various models arriving within a few days," he declared, "which will take care of the orders of customers who have waited for their cars to come. These shipments will be followed Immediately by " others. Mr. Botterill said that the visit of Mr. Defrom Booth, factory representative of this troit, had so changed the aspect sltuatl'on that season's Dodge Brothers' what had looked blue a month ago now appears as a very rosymepromise. "Mr. Booth assured yesterday," said Mr. Botterill, that not only will we receive siseable shipments right away to take care of our orders, but we will receive during this season more Dodge Brothers' cars than we did last year, which set a local record. This will make It possible for us to make deliveries on Dodge cars In any model with but slight in delay, even on orders placed now and of the Immediate future. The popularity an to such this automobile has grown extent that we feared we were going to be unable to take care of orders already placed, on account of the conditions at the factory Incident to the switchmens strike. Mr. Booth assured me yesterday, however, that production has been advanced so that It Is greater each day now than at any time In the previous history of the factory. "It Is highly pleasing to be able to make Immediate delivery to a customer when . he selects his car. I wish conditions were such that this could be the regular way of conducting the automobile business, but I presume the day when it can be done Is far distant. But today we have some models In closed Hudsons and open and closed Essex cars on which we can make Immediate delivery to customers. These cars should appeal strongly to Intending that the buyers, for there Is no question own.

There Is nothing. In my opinion, that equals the of good c osed car, from the standpoint car, and It is sense. It Is an the sensible car for both city and crosscountry driving, I expect, with the Increased demand for closed models, the few Hudson and Essex cars we have In our salesrooms will be quickly disposed of." ever-growi- ly Packard Expert Says Horses Prove Costly Figures are presented by G. D. Lichfold Packard company, who has Just returned fr m a school at the University or the benefit of automobile of Michigi men, to show some peculiar facts which he believes are not generally known By people in the market for cars.

In the manager of Browning Brothers company of Ogden, possess certain characteristics not found In rubber, no matter hfw pure nor how carefully manufactured. Yesterday he explained the reasons back of hls assertion, saying, also, that every motorist should study tire economy in this period of high prices from this standpoint. "Automobile driving has reached such proportions In cities that the pavements have become thoroughly oil coated. In many portions .of all larger cities, oil sprinkling has been resorted to on unpaved streets. Now, there Is no more active foe of rubber than oil. Ordinary rubber Is attacked and ruined In a short time. It Is a popular belief that rubber Is not harmed by water. As long as it does not penetrate Into the minute pores, that is largely true but In the case of an automobile tire. If it is porous, as nearly all commercial rubber Is, it does penetrate Into the tiny pores and cause a rapid and continual breaking down. The same Is true with fine dust. It works Its way through the rubber and a little at a time cuts its way even through the fabric. In ordinary automobile tires, oil, water and grit do more than road wear to bring the tire's useful days to a quick finish. "It was In the realisation of these facts that the Thermold Crollde Compound tire was developed. The decision of the Thermold factory was that a tire would have to be perfected that would combat each of these destructive agencies. In other words, the pores In the rubber would have to be closed. The chemists were set to work and after many tests the croliile was at. The search for arrived compound the right tire ended there. It was known that the formula had been found. That Is why today thS Thermold Crollde Compound tire Is the perfect shoe for automobiles. It withstands the action of oil, water and grit. That means mileage multiplied. In turn, there Is the answer to the question of tire costs. Two more Mack bulldogs arrived in town during the week. For a few ' days they can be seen at the Bichards Motor company salesrooms, 67 South truck and State street.

The trucks present a new hood of the Renault type, designed to give a clear view of the road, and an entirely nety type of copper tube circular radiator incorporated with the dash. seats with The trucks have vertically sliding doors, steering gears, a removable pressed steel combination front eross member and bumper, and are provided with an extension countershaft for the attachment of pulleys, sprockets or gears for driving auxiliary power devices. Electric starting and lighting system can be installed at small additional expense. In the radiator is found the most radical departure from standard practice. It consists of two semicircular sets of copper tubes expanded into headers and surrounding a centrifugal The radiator and cowl fan blower. dash are one aluminum unit, incorporated with the eab. Although built for very heavy duty, the steering gear bas a rake almost equal to that or a racing car. The gearshift operates by one pullrod, the shift lever being on a . The crankshaft of all Mack motors is made of special aluminum alloy. FoB4he smaller models the crankshaft is made of alloy steel, while for the heavy duty trucks a special steel is used. Motor gears number three crankshaft, cam. shaft and one gear which drives both the magneto and water pump. The water pump is of cast irbn, navy bronze and special steel. Pressure balance is attained in the water pump by introducing the water on both sides of the motor, and, by having open vanes, the water passage is always open, so that , the water may even with the pump stationary. This is imr portant where any amount of work is likely to be encountered, as it allows the motor to cool off rapidly. The oiling system is practically dual. Cylinders, piston wristpins, crankping, camshaft, rams, valve lifters and oil pump drivjng gears are lubricated by splash. Crankshaft main bearings and the three timing gears are lubricated by gravity. that there is literally no transportation undertaking in any line of business in which they have not had a part. 3Mi-to- in Long Mileage Records There are numerous owners records of 100,000 miles, many of 200,000 miles, and some of 300,000 miles. all-ste- in High Earning Power front-mounte- ball-join- TEXAS OIL GETS m Pile uses of White Trucks are so varied and widespread The earning power of White Trucks results from low costs and high performance, without a parallel in motor trucking so far as we have any records. in Fleet Installations N No fleet record of truck owners has ever been published which compares in extent or progressive growth with the White Annual Roll Call. . t. in Service to Owners Millions have been invested in White owner service and factory facilities built up throughout the country, which have taken years to perfect. a; thermo-syphon- T low-gea- Government Awards Texaco Manufacturers Rare Opportunity for Products. $-to- n, We now have a complete stock of White Trucks in and including Dump Models. 2-to- 3-t- n, 5-to- on n, the green For the year 1919 and again for the ypar 1920, the United States government awarded to the Texas Oil company the contract for furnishing practically all the lubricating oils used in the United States navy, according to an official of the Electrie company, local distributor of the fa-- ; mous Texaco lubricating and motor oils.

E. Tourssen, distributor for Duplex and Oldsmoblle Mr. Tourssen believes there Is trucks. an Impending freight-ca- r due shortage this fall when crop moenients commence and that It will be up to the motor truck to relieve the situation as much as possible If we are to avoid a serious tleup. "Trucks are not competitors of the railroads, said Mr. Tourssen, "but are adjuncts to them. They assist along the routes of Overcrowded freight llnm by jobs and then, handling the short-hatoo, they go beyond the railroads Into territory that depends upon the truck for Us development. "The practicability of the motor truck for overland hauling has been demonsrat-e- d by the many successful trips taken recently In connection with week. A good roads and notable example of this was the trip of the truck caravan from Salt Lake to Boise in ten days. "Farmer are depending more and more upon the motor truck for marketing their crops and also for harvesting them. A large per cent of all the Duplex trucks which we sell go to farmers, many of whom consider the truck a necessity on the farm. That trucks are a distinct saving to farmers Is shown by the widespread use of them on the farms and from the fact that farmers Increase the number of their trucks a their hauling needs require It. "It Is not In the least unusual now to see trucks In th field. The Duplex drive seems to be extremely popular with the farmer who have cause to take them into the flelde because of the fact that power Is applied at all four wheels, which makes them adaptable to any kind of roads or rough land. Special bodies ar furnished for practically nary purpose. Many farmers buy the standard body and then as the seasons change they mount their hayrack on the truck chassis and go right into the field with IL Some also attach tha loader on the back of the truck and go up and dow-the windrows, picking up the hay with ease Then when beet season comes they change to another body and again go Into The truck the fields after the beets. hat proven to be an r-altogether handy -d rU s as roo a r wn That truck Drive This Sedan For Economy High QmoBxm Mileage; Low Upkeep Cost; Greater Comfort; Because cf Triplex Springe 355-mi- low-co- le Angclo-Yosemit- st Touring, 965; Roadster, $985; Coupe, $1535; Sedan, $U7S Fdes t a. a.Tl4.wb.)ctta change art thaw canriaq BROWNING AUTOMOBILE COMPANY DISTRIBUTORS Salt Lake City Ogden Twin Falls Idaho Falls r 'c3 & Horseshoe Auto Tire Co. 66 West 4th South St. Salt Lake City.
