Sharman, manager of the Automobile company, dealer and distributor for the Cadillac and Oakland automobiles, furnish s some Interesting information and observations concerning the organization behind the Cadillac automobile. "Probably the most v Rally impoitant part of any industry," he savs, is made up of those men who have been connected with it during a long term of jears, and whose cooperative effort have resulted in a suot t ssmn of achievements "A recent distribution of service medals in the plant of the Cadillac Motor Cnr company brought to light an astonishnumber of men who have ingly-huge been with the company for ten and fifteen years and a great body of men who have served five years or longer "Most remarkable, however, is the way e men N Jn which this list of long-srdivided up among forenun, worknen suof officials the and plant, perintendents indicating the degree in which not only the mwi the skilled artisans, but ai0 whose creative abilities directed them, have worked together toward a common end.

In view of rapid taking place in our whhh are transportation fabric, it is little wonder that a state commission, organized for the regulation of public utilities, should turn Its attention to the regulation of highway motor transport. thing Many against regulation If that changes can be said for and by public service ommi&slon will always render decisions which are just and based m equity, then notning but praise can be expressed for its cf foils In regulating this ite tm in of transpoi tation, but if d are in anv wav controlled by other fotcfs, it ceases to be a benefit to the public and only stifles and hinders the 1 North Carolina, with a percentage of gain In registration of 61 per cent, leads All states in automobile buying. which development of the community, will continue to grow, for at this point the motor owner will not fund for this and by asking for only fair ness, we combat any movement that tends to hinder our progress of development. As educational campaign was carried on by the motor users of California and conditions and noticeaoly have radically changed. Think of the value of motor transport operating in and out of Indianapolis hauling livestock from farm to stockvard. In one day 6oO trucks entered the yards, They hauling hogs valued at 5200,000 traveled a total distant e of 25oO mile, m a truck numbering 663,549 hogs by year. This was more than by rail, because faster and less shrinkage. Aside from hogs, 45,081 head of cattle, 56 345 calves, 47 898 sheep, and some davs 100 trucks enter the yards in twelve hours Highways Interconnected. In 200 different lines of business the Oldsmobile Economy Truck is cutting transportation costs. If your business calls for the hauling of medium loads and if speed and economy are important to, you, then YOU need the Oldsmobile Economy Truck. Ready for Immediate Perhaps it Is not long before our trunk lines will overlap from state to state and it is predicted for more tlian one ue to have heavy traffic road built in each state from north to south and cast to we&t. It is predicted that some cities Wslll build subways for fust tru k travel, using inclines at each end When the connected trunk roads have been used they will be by she intei state commexe regulated When that time arrives commission. highway transport will have mode Mich strides that no power on earth can stop Its progress. Firestone and Goodyear have long inns for the transportation of their products which Is far superior to expiess service in that they have their trucks specially built and have a berth l.l.e a Pullman for the relief of the driver and make faster time between Akron and Poston than express. The truck dealers generally have neg lected the benefits of the highways, for m of the national educational campaign some did not realize nor see the benefits to themselves and to the The public generally lias to community be educated, though few business i en have overlooked the importance of tru k, but the tendency has been to buy cheap equipment. The legislative bodies have a tendency to penalize the motor, saving that thev tear the roads. If the motor is penahzed It should only be in the form of pav for the repairs. The state should furnish a suitable highway built for future use, s.w the next fifteen years, borne cities have been sued for the breakage of motors caused by the neglect of street iepau also some counties have had to pah out trucks because the owner just left the trucks where they were stuck.

The same skill and care that went into the first Crolide Corn- pound Tire goes into every Thermoid Tire produced.
