TECHNICAL OBSERVER LAUDS MAXWELL TRUCK That the Maxwell truck has established a record for endurance and 'economy is the opinion of James J. Hemstreet, technical observer and director of touring A. A. A. of New York. '"Attaining a showing for durability, mechanical worth, correct weight dis tribution and economical running operation that has no parallel ,in the records of the American Automobile Association, and has no equal, in my opinion, in all the history of motor production in this country," said Hem- street, "a Maxwell one-ton truck which left New York December 1 for a demonstration "of its workabilities under the strictly business requirements of the American Automobile Association's -sanction 1080, completed its drive at Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue, New York, January 3, with a record that should mean greater enthusiasm, greater sales and more prestige for Maxwell dealers and distributors everywhere. "Having ridden with this truck throughout ils test run, which extended over 2,488 miles from New York City to Jacksonville, and return, and having previously—during fourteen years of association with motor car tests and contests—traveled by motor over practically all of this country, England and France,-I subscribe to,the statement that this Maxwell truck has outperformed and outdemon'strated anything in the form of a motor product that I have ever had any personal contact .with." The Consolidated Motor Co., 1230 Georgia Street, handle the Maxwell locally. Automobile history has been made so fast-and the advancement has been so rapid that the trials of the beginners and the reception of the motor car by the people, in the early stages of the industry, are interesting things property." to dwell upon. It is only a few years ago that the federal commissioners at Washington refused the application of a local firm who wished to run a motor delivery wagon on the streets of the capital .on the ground that "it would frighten horses, and thus'1 endanger life and DAVIE VULCANIZING COMPANY Auto and Tire Repairs Ship that toursted tire to us: we can repair it, and you car; get hundreds of more miles, for a small expense.'

It is urging all communities as far as possible to adapt the motor truck to their local needs and encourage its use in any way to help existing transportation problems.' To promote maximum results in motor transportation, the Packard Motor Car Company offers a total of $5,000 in awards to owners and drivers for greatest efficiency in hauling. The awards will be based on certified records of Packard truck operation over a period of three months/beginning June 1. Best results are obtained through full loads, careful routing and proper maintenance of the trucks. To win the awards records must be kept in accordance with the National Standard Truck Cost System. Transportation experts not connected with the Packard organization will be the judges. _ Full particulars will be furnished by us or any Packard dealer. Every Packard truck owner and driver is invited to compete for the awards. EFFICIENT HAULING is now a patriotic duty. It will release railway cars for government use.
