THE SUNDAY OREGOMAX. PORTLAND. JANUARY 9. 1921
MORE MUM POWER
NEW YORK. Jan. 8 Tractors are
to be ued by the department of
street cleaning for clearing snow
from streets in the congested dis
tricts of lower Manhattan, and the
entire project marks a novel and very
distinctive advance in tractor usage.
Heavy blizzards last winter brought
traffic to a standstill in New York
and throughout the eastern and
northern states; heavy snowfalls tied
up business completely for days.
Man power, shovelers. teams, wagons
and trucks were all tried, but these
methods proved inadequate to clear
the streets. The city of New YorkJ
alone Rpent over $.000,000 trying to
keep the streets clear, not only for
jrrneral traffic, but for the general
safety. Officials realized the extreme
danger from fire, particularly in the
congested business district, because
the accumulated snow and ice on the
Streets practlcaly rendered helpless
the city fire-fighting equipment. By
rood fortune no great fires occurred
during this period, but the city fire
department, street cleaning depart
ment and other officials appreciated
as they had never done before the
extreme importance of being equipped
and prepared to quickly dispose of
snowfalls before the snow became
packed and frozen into solid ice, as
was the case last winter.
Reallzin-g that a fleet o "caterpillar"
tractors, equipped with proper snow
plows, would solve this problem, the
Holt Manufacturing company brought
these machines immediately before
the serious consideration of New York
city officials. The project was thor
oughly investigated by engineers
connected with the department of
atreet cleaning, fire department, also
the mayor and other city officials,
etc., and appropriations were made
for extensive purchases of this cass
of equipment. AH makes and types
of tractors were considered, and
while preliminary tests with snow
were impossible the street cleaning
department during the summer con
ducted official tests with various
tractors equipped with snow plows,
pushing sand, which was in fact more
difficult to handle than snow. The
five-ton "caterpillar' tractor, artil
lery model, met every requirement
In these tests, and even exceeded the
city's expectations.

1 vril tO RfttOT, Snow.
Bids were called for covering trac
tors of this size for the severe snow
removal work. Smaller equipment
was suitable for limited secondary
operations. Although the "caterpil
lar" tractor wa necessarily higher
In price than other machines pro-
rosed for this work, the city engi
neers unanimously selected the 'cat
erpillar" on the basis of Its particu
lar fitness for this work. Its military
nd commercial record for perform
since, as well as the stability and the
facilities of the manufacturers.
Since the war "caterpillar" trac
tors have been put into every class
of commercial and industrial work.
They have brought about new mo
torized methods in logging, both in
the southern swamps and In the frozen
northern woods. During the recent
great oil-field developments "cater
pillar" tractors pioneered in trans
porting materials and machinery into
roadless country and then built roads
for other traffic. These tractors have
gone into .farm work, road building
and maintenance, mining, etc.. so have
been playing a big part in the period
of industrial reconstruction.
Push riona Fall.
While attempts had been made to
Use trucks equipped with push plows
for removing snow, the results -had
not been satisfactory, due to a lack
of traction in snow and ice. It ac
cordingly remained for the "cater
pillar" to solve this, as it had pre
Tiously solved many other problems
In farm, road and military work.
Xany "caterpillars" had been pre
viously used for snow removal in
various northern districts, but the
problem in New York City was dis
tinctly different, as it Involved the
organization of a complete battery of
now removal and blizzard-fighting
equipment, fitted with all necessary
protection to drivers, so equipped
that no damage would be done to the
streets and capable of operating con
stantly, no matter how low the temperature.
The following message for the- new
year has been sent out to the auto
mobile trade by Harry G. Moock, gen
eral manager of the National Auto
mobile Dealers' association. Chicago:
"The daily press and the trade
journals of all industries are publish
ing the thoughts of these who have
been weighing the present and future
of business. Prophecy, warning, hope
fulness and optimism have all been
discussed.
"The National Automobile Dealers'
association, in bringing to a close the
past year's activities, has much for
which to bo grateful. Although busi
ness depression reflects itself In no
uncertain manner upon association
work, the third year of our existence
finds the association strong and in
the knowledge that it has been able
to protect the dealer industry and
show great progress. It has been
able to render service not only to its
members, but to the industry at large.
which has earned for the association
the reputation that it is an active and
virile Institution with a principle and
ideal that commands respect.
"To those who. in spite of personal
difficulties, have realized that the
association needed their support, we
credit with the attribute and virtue
of faith. To those who still feel that
the 'X. A. D.' A.'s' future is up to
their fellow dealers, we have hope. To
those who stand oi the side lines and
heave rocks and who offer nothing
but destructive criticisms, we have
only charity.
"Relative to the outlook for the
coming year and the years to follow:
There exists that Incontrovertible
fact that Just as su,re as two and two
make four individual transportation
will be sold in the future in propor
tion to the ability of those selling it
to realize that it Is a business of
merchandising and as such will gain
the public good will and patronage by
the service the seller and the com
modify renders.
The public be pleased' should at
all times be the underlying policy of
every establishment, whether it has
been a policy in the past has nothing
to do with the present and future. To
the extnt that this simple formula Is
exemplified by everyone selling and
distributing motor vehicles, substan
tial business will be built and main
tained.
In former years It ofttimes was
stated that the speed of the factory
was the speed of the dealer. Hence
forth It is the success of the dealer
that will determine the success of the
factory. Just as the dealer sells and
serves, so will the factory reap. As
the factory co-operates with ttfe dealer-so
will the dealer succeed. Recog
nizing in the past that room for im
provement could be made by all in
terested in successfully promoting the
industry, it surely will be to the
mutual advantage of all that the
rights and privileges of others are
at all times taken into consideration
with as strict adherence to the Golden
Rule as Is humanly possible.
"There were many dealers who did
not waver for a foment when all
seemed darkness. These men with
well balanced, financially solid organ
izations determined to secure their
share of business. By clear thought
and by constant intelligent applica
tion, they will be much stronger as
the result of their experience. A
homely philosophy telfe us that pros
perity tries men, but that adversity
makes them,
"From the spoken and from the
printed word and by observation, the
motor vehicle dealer has every rea
son to be hopeful and reassured that
the business of selling motor vehicles
will continue to function as a most
necessary part of the industrial and
social life of the country. There will
be a. steady demand fof honest
merchandise, honestly sold, which will
yield an honest profit to those who
conduct their establishments In ac
cordance with accepted ethics of good
business.
"Honesty of purpose, high ideals,
fair treatment for all concerned with
faith In God, government and in
dustry, there is. indeed, much to be
grateful for, past, present and future,
for those who will."

Rain Vision Windshields.
It is a simple matter to give any
tourist car a clear vision windshield,
which is not generally included in the
equipment of the open car. The upper
section of the windshield is simply
mounted on the top by means of
brackets that hold the part out at the
desired angle. In this way the upper
half of the shield keeps off the rain,
while the lower half protects the
driver from the wind.
Rust Preventers.
Vaseline in which a little powdered
gum camphor has been added, the
whole being heated over a slow fire,
will prevent the formation of rust on
tools. A mixture of one pound of lard,
an ounce of gum camphor and a little
lampblack will protect bright metal
work from rust.

One-third more brain power Is
made available for the business world
by automobile usage. This is the tes
timony of manufacturers in many
lines in reply to a questionnaire sent
out by the National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce.
The equivalent of 37,491 men of ex
ecutive caliber has been added to the
business world through motor trans
portation, a gain In saiary values of
$562,365,000. These figures are ar
rived at by applying the one-third
increase from car. use to the number
of men receiving $10,000 to $25,000
in the United States as reported in
the latest internal revenue figures.
The number of men in this class is
reported to be 112,473. averaging in
the neighborhood of $15,000 per year.
This gain to the individual official
and the saving in salary costs to man
ufacturing! establishments tells but
part of the story. The actual pro
ductivity of these men is presumably
in excess of their salary figure or it
would ot pay to hire them. Their
creative value is something which can
not be closely measured. Ther.e is.
however, a dearth of $25,000-a-year
men in the view of noted financiers,
such as Vanderlip. Consequently the
car, in extending the usefulness of ex
ecutives, is filling a sharply felt need
In business.

ritty of goods, but also car usage i

lire of industry receives creative aid
from time-saving of cars. The makers

businesses, including the following

The amount of aid which a manu
facturer gains from his car naturally
varies according to the circumstances
and his own inclinations. Many ex
ecutlves reported that their automo
biles aided them very little, if any
in a business way. On the other
hand, a manufacturer of ladies' waists
in Cleveland reports: "Enables me to
give two hours more time daily to
business." The head of an electric
plant In Saratoga, Wyoming, states:
"It saves the salary of a man." The
executive of a factory in Lakewood
Ohio, reports a 500 per cent increase
in efficiency from car use.

The improvement of home surround

is stressed by these witnesses:

"Live in healthier locality further

"Used every day going 13 miles to

house from Lexington, Mass.
The use of cars instead of trolley
or rail connection is higher in the
manufacturing class than in most
groups using cars. Forty-two per
cent of their mileage is employed in
this way. The cause for this is that
many plants are located in outlying;
districts of the city, served by crowded
trolleys running in half-hour sched

In using the power tire pump if the
rear wheel is jacked up, but not firm

pin and twist off the air tube from
