TER THIS TERRITORY. roortk I nit Jut Addrd to Fageol Factory at Oakland Assurance , of Prompt Deliveries. Word baa Just come of the comple tion of the fourth unit of the Fageol factory at Oakland, Cat, for use as a parts and supply department. This marks another step in the rapid ex pansion of manufacturing; facilities for Kageol motor trucks, and Is assurance to the prospective truck buyer of prompt deliveries. This is the fourth section added to the Fageol factory in the past year. When it is remembered that the entire plant has been built since June of 1917, and that the first Fageol truck was constructed and marketed the same month, some realisation of the value obtained by purchasers of Fageol trucks, and the esteem in which they are held by buyers, may be Rained. The new parts and supply department Is to become the central building of the industrial group on the ten-acre site. Other units, with the machinery equip ment, have entailed the expenditure of more than $750,000 in the last year. A carefully planned machine room was opened early this year and has been quipped with the highest grade ma chine tools. Western business men, in the effort to adapt motor trucks and haulage ma chinery made for eastern roads and eastern climatic conditions, have suf fered through delays, breakdowns, and the physical inability of the machinery to -standup" under the wracking tests on western roads. The average inter-city haul in west ern territory presents problems in dis tance, climatic and road conditions, mountainous country and extremes of temperature, unconsidered in the con struction and design of many eastern trucks. Consequently, when a truck Is designed and built of the best stan- .4, It.H n..t with .n..Ull.. ri ami i features to meet western requirements or, roaas, cnmaie, miles or naui, etc.. It Is only natural that an almost In stant popularity is achieved by the product. Such has been the case with the Fageol truck. Butler-Veitch. under whose sales management a widespread California representation for the Fag eol has been made possible, is now planning. In cognizance with the grow Ing factory production, an extension of sales arrangements to include Portland. 6eattle and Spokane, and can assure truck dealers and buyers of prompt deliveries on any of the three models. Here is a western factory, enjoying a preferential rating from the War In dustries Board for the shipment of ma terial, making a truck built to meet the especially trying western conditions. which by reason of its central loca tlon is in a position to make deliveries at once. ' whatever the condition of freight-line congestion or roads. Drlve-aways. as a means of delivery for automobile machinery, so much talked of In eastern factory centers, is the customary method of delivery on western made trucks, and It has been almost universally used In the case of the Fageol product. While the North west territory is further removed from the Oakland factory than Central and Northern California, it is little further than points in Southern California to which Fageol trucks have been sent under their own power. Consequently, no delay need be feared In the delivery of Fageol trucks Into the Pacific Northwest. If freight cars cannot be had. the Fageol will start out under Its own power, prob ably loaded to capacity with Fageol tractors, also under the sales manage ment of Butler-Veitch. and come through on schedule time over our northern roads, as they have In Cali fornia. ROYAL CORD GIVES LONG WEAR Tire Runs 2 5,000 Miles on Florida Stage Line. Twenty-five thousand miles on a United States Royal cord tire Is no longer an unusual performance, but the manager of a bus line operating in Florida has turned in a record of a Royal cord which has made 25,421 miles tinder exceptional circumstances. This tire was part of the equipment en a 4400-pound bus running between Tampa and Lakeland, 165 miles a day over brick, asphalt and clay roaas. It ran 1052 miles on a rear wheel before front wheel for a run of 7700 miles and again back to the rear, where it lasted for 9669 miles more. The owner of the bus states that he has nine United States tires which have been In use several months and have averaged 15,000 miles each. The Royal cord which made the 25,-421-mlle record has been replaced by another Royal cord that has already run 20,000 miles. GRAPHITE SAVES REPAIRS Proper Lubrication Secret of Keep ing Car in Condition. One of the best rules for keeping a car out of the repair shop is the proper use of lubricants. The most sensitive TACK STREWKR AT WORK. After remaining quiescent for quite a while, the tack-strewing vandal is again quite busy in Multnomah County. While driv ing over the Craig road the other day from the Sandy to the Base Line road. Frank Van Duyn got 30 roofing nails in his four tires in a few minutes. No sooner would he repair one puncture than the car would pick up an other nail. Now he is warmly in favor of lynching the culprit if he is found. In the meantime motorists who have anything short of armor plate on their tires had better steer clear of the Craig road.

This bit of advice is given by a re pair man who has seen hundreds of cars come and go at the repair shop. "Next to proper adjustment," he says, "a good lubricating system and the right kind of lubricating grease for each bearing are necessary to keepa car in good running order. If an owner has not been careful of these things I can sense it the minute he drives In the door. "A good grease, mixed in the right proportion with selected flake graphite, forms the best lubricant for bearings. The Joseph Dixon Company put it up already mixed, a different grade for each purpose. A good car, well taken care of. can be kept from the repair shop for whole seasons at a time.

This long, stream-line bevel ac centuates the length of the car and gives it a low, rakish appearance.
