VANCOUVER DAILY WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1919. 32 TIIE THE WORLD'S NEW DELIVERY CAR Seattle Built Cars for Future FIRESTONE MAINTAINS SHIP BY TRUCK BUREAUS building a "Simplicity 12" factory here in a short time. Until the buildings are erected and machinery Installed, the different parts will be manufactured by lornl shops that were fitted up for different kinds of war work with the finest of modern equipment and assembled In a building already secured. This method was not contemplated If ,11 None but the highest grades of steel will be used In the construction. Aluminum alloys that have been developed to such a high state during the war, are being used extensively for many parts.

The first cur to he completed in Seattle will bo finished In about sixty days and ft number of the leading business men and prominent women will test it out on the hills and boulevards. At that time one of tho largest automobile agencies in Seatlle will distribute this car for western Washington. by the people who are backing tho Pelivery in sixty days of a Made In Srnltle "Simplicity 12" is the promise made local automobile enthusiasts. Subsequent manufacture of 1000 cms of the same typo in tuht city is also a prospect. The plan, which Is only in the first stages of development, proposes to make Scuttle automobile manufacturing city by 1 1 rV project but lie demand from tnose that have seen the car In the east, has been so insistent for a delivery, beginning tho first of tho year, that they finally agreed.

The ship hy truck movement has heen promoted ly Mr. Firesti ne principally to convey to everyone interested the Importance of Uio motor truck as ti ansportatlon medium. Particularly is this movement designed to entago the attention of merchants and manufacturcm who have merchandise to ship in small quantities to outlyinff districts or nelRhhorlns towns and villages. It is a movement to promote ercater efficiency in the haulinir of shipmrnts through tho use of trucking nireneics. The plan as it been developed embraces a ship by trurk bureau In evry branch Pity.

Kach bureau that had been established has an expert In charge. These bramh bureaus in turn are under the jurisdiction of a central bureau nt Akron. The aim of each bureau chief Is to obtain all the trucking data possible in his territory, to list and nrraiifte that data so 1hat it ran be efficiently referred to and tabulated for the benefit of merchants and traffic managers vt local industries. Truck routes are listed alone with he schedules maintained over those routes and aa a result the truck owner and those who have occasion to ship less than car load quantities of merchandise are mutually benefitted bv this altruistic service established by the Fire store Company. The whole idea as it has been fostered and worked out will tremendously stimulate the volume of tonnage handling by trucks nil over the countrv.

To dale over fifty ship by truck bureaus have been established at as many Firestone branches. This shows better than anything else the impetus this hie movement has gained, the stride forward that ft. has made and it has been such a Photo by Leonard Frank.

These information folders will be of tremendous value to the local shippers and will greatly stimulate the business of truckers and motor transportation companies. The ship hy truck movement Is a vital, stimulating impulse for both the motor truck and the transportation business," said H. Wood, Seattle Firestone representative. "It has been launched at the logical time to interpret and bring the needed attention to the economy and efficiency of the motor truck ns a transportation means to the business men who have merchandise to ship, ns well as Unking up the country producer and the city consumer.

"The, response to our Invitation to use the facilities of this bureau has been extremely gratifying. Both shippers and operators are using the service to advantage." which, though more serious than some of the other symptoms can be righted in a very few minutes by the liberal use of coal oil and, I venture to say, the motorist who will take the trouble to use coal oil on his valve stems about twice a week will cut out dozens of little troubles. "When there is the least doubt in your mind take my advice and leave the hood hooks alone and do your diving in the lake, not under the hood. In this way you will prove that you have something under your hat besides hair and you will, as a general rule, have a better opinion of your choice of motor; and, at. the same time you will make It much easier for the service man to keep your car on the road at the least possible expense and inconvenience." You can't buy a truck better than the Giant for any amount of money; You can't buy one on a par with the Giant for the same amount of mone', but you can buy many that are not as good for the price of a Giant.

"A carburetor, mechanically correct, will not get noticeably out of adjustment; and, I advise, unless you know exactly what you are doing, leave It alone," saya VV. Henry, head of the International Motors, 1129 Howe Street.

"A proper adjustment necessarily means that the motor must run a few minutes before It warms up to its greatest efficiency. An adjustment that starts right off the reel In the morning might suit some of these would be drivers, but it also means greater expense and more or less trouble all the rest of the day. "Quite often a miss 1s located In the distributor points where, after many miles of travel the fibre block on the distributor arm becomes worn to such an extent that there is no break or gap in the points, hich causes no end of trouble, but which Is very easily remedied. Then again a miss might be located as a result of badly spaced spark Plug points. It Is as necessary to have these correct as any other part of your motor.

"tin one of my journeys out of town to a popular resort I noticed a beautiful roadster run up, and commonly expressed, it purred like a cat, but not satisfied, the driver Jumped out; opened the hood and dove in up to waist with a monkey wrench and a pair of pliers and started adjusting his valves with the result that he had to spend the best part of the next forenoon in the garage paying someone to do what he apparently knew nothing about.

The physical properties are Increased from 50 to "5 per cent over those obtained by the use of the non alloy steels. "The cylinder block is cast from a carefully prepared 'mix' which produces a lose grained, exceptional wearing semi steel casting.

The transmission shaft Is made of particularly high grade chrome nickel steel to insure against any twisting of the splines under the severe torque. The pinion on the rear axle is of the same material. The differential Is also made of case hardened chrome nickel steel.

"The rear axle drive shaft of the new Studebaker cars are of the best alloy steel rolled to shape in our own plants and heat treated to give physical properties such that a seventy ton locomotive could be suspended from one of these shafts without serious consequences."
