Chains or other antiskid devices are needed whenever the truck, properly driven, cannot proceed for want of traction, or whenever the danger of skidding makes tha truck other than perfectly safe without them. . They should not be applied until they are actually needed and should be removed just as soon as the necessity for their use ceasea This latter Is Important, and It Is perfectly natural that unless It Is easy to apply and remove them the driver will delay putting them on until tho truck Is stalled, and will not remove them, once applied, until he le forced to do so. It Is quit as Important that tho chains be removed when they are not needed as that they be applied when they are needed, for if they are not the chassis needless Jolting is -- subjected to and vibration and the tires are quickly cut to piece As for the kind of chain to use, tho mistake of using chain of too largo a slso ta common. It Is true that large chain last longer and may give better traction In snow, but It is equally true that It quickly racks tho truck to pieces from vibration and Jolting, due to the fact that every time, the chain comes under the wheel It has to rise and. fall aa much as two Inches fn some cases. -- Jolting Bad Feature." , 1 , Tbs owner must resign himself to chain that wears quickly.

The rural districts of the United State purchased 0 per cent of the 1920 motor vehlcla output. Of the cars In this country, 13 per cent are owned in communities of 1000 population or under, and 65 per cent are ownad In dlstriots of 5000 population or under. This o be a year .of conservatism, when the weak will go to the wall and the strong will add to their strength. People will want cars. But they will not ask as In year gone by: How much speed? How much comfort? How much prestige? The test will be: How much economy In transportation? How much gain to for business? Let u examine the fundamental business conditions The country is rich. Products abound, Eventual prosperity Is 1929 Inevitable. The harvests have been better than average. Labor ta more plentiful and more efficient than during the war and post-wyears.
