Penny Ante Business of
Making Loading Blocks
Grows Into $7,000,000
Corporation in 20 Years
By Wiley .valoney
United Press Btaff Correspondent
DETROIT, Aug. 21. (UP) E. 8.
Evans told today how a penny ante
business mushroomed with the auto
mobile Industry and In 20 years be
came a $7,000,000 corporation.
Evans, who Is the 57 year old head
of the Evans Products company, said
the entire corporation of nine manu
facturing units was founded upon the
success of an auto loader.
An auto loader la a device used for
packing automobiles In freight cars.
It la a part of the "f. o. b." you pay
In Portland, Ore., Atlanta, Go., ' or
some other city besides Detroit.
Started in 1015
"In 1915," Evans said, "I became
Interested In loading blocks. At that
time there were IfiOO accredited auto
mobile manufacturers and 18 differ
ent types of shipping methods. The
blocks were Just wooden wedges or
some other arrangement to brace an
automobile In shipping.
I was out of a Job, and It was
when a set of shipping blocks. Invent
ed by Charles O. Grimm came to my
attention. It wa a simple Invention,
but effective. He had scooped a groove ,
to fit the contour of a tire out of a i
six by eight pine block. These were
nailed to a floor of a freight car and
acted as chocks to keep the machine
from slipping forward or backward. A
hold down strap of burlap kept the
macnine from jouncing up and down.'
svana rirst job waa salesman for
the small company In the Detroit
area.
Grows Rapidly
A little bualness at first," he said.
"but it grew. I waa earning 150
montn, ijou expenses and five per
cent commission. In the first month
I made Si 500 on a commission basis.
"I reinvested the whole amount in
yard engine and three flat cars.
That was my first experimental lab
oratory None before had treated the
problem of shipping automobiles as a
scientific problem."
"At that time the railroad were
forced to pay an average of $5 per
car damage In shipping coets in the
United States. They were taking It on
the chin. Our wooden blocks were al
most Instant success, and we were
soon selling up to 10,000,000 of them a
year.
"After the war the bualness contin
ued to grow. But the wooden block
method was expensive. Bealdes eight
wooden blocks to each auotmoblle, It
took 16 pounds of nalla and drive
screws to load one freight car. The
method waa wasteful in another way
because In time the railroad was
forced to repair the cars,
"It waa then we developed the per
manent metal device for shipping au
tomobiles which Is used today."

CHICAGO (UP) Excavations on
the ruins of sn ancient Pueblo vil
lage led Dr. Paul 8. Martin, curator
of anthropology at Field Museum of
Natural History to believe that the
Mecca of the Holy Land had Its
counterpart a thousand years ago In
southwestern Colorado.
"Lowry Ruin," shrouded In mys
tery for hundreds ot years, was re
built six different times. Dr. Martin
found, a phenomenon not encoun
tered In studies of other southwest
ern prehistoric ruins.
"It indicated," he said, "that Lowry
may have been a holy place to which
pilgrimages were made."
The underground klvas, chambers
for religious ceremonies. Is one of the
largest ever discovered, he said.
It was deserted by Its builders
hundreds of years .before the coming
of the first white men, the archeolo
glst found, the tribe presumably mi
grating out of Colorado In the face
of a stronger Invader.
The people probably were ances
tors of the Pueblo Indians found In
Arizona and New Mexico, Dr. Martin
believes. The Invaders who drove,
them out probably were the stronger ,
Navahos.
The great kiva, with certain struc-1
tural modifications, was preserved
through all the occupancies of Lowry
pueblo.
Dr. Martin, who spent four sum
mere examining the ruins, said he
believed the population of Lowry and
Its surrounding area apparently waa
sparse at all times, not more than 60
or 00 persons living In the pueblo at
any one time.
There were no fortifications
signs of fire or battle. The populace
presumably fled peacefully before
the Navajos.

FAULTY NUTRITION
Obstacles In the way of progress In
the treatment of arthritis are, first,
the obsession that exposure to cold
and dampness Is
a factor of the
disease, and sec
ond, the obses
sion that acid
haa something to
do with it uric
acid, fruit acids,
the acid ash of
certain klnda of
food. Too often
proper treatment
la neglected for
long periods
while the victim
pursues fads and
fancies baaed on these obsessions.
Much harm haa been done In chronic
arthrltles by ill -advised attempt to
exclude from the diet certain desir
able foods which some charlatan tells
gullible people will produce "acidosis'
or leave acid ash.
There Is no good reason why one
with arthritis should not have meat
regularly. In fact most competent
authorities agree that the diet should
Include a liberal amount of meat and
fat. If anything Is to be restricted It
Is the carbohydrate Intake, partlcu
larly refined carbohydratea white
flour, sugars, syrups, refined corn
meal, polished rice, the things of
which most people take too much for
the good of their health anyway.
Many physicians have found that
diets liberal In protein (meat, eggs.
cheese, milk, peas, beans, fish), If
supplemented with optimal ratons of
vitamins, especially vitamins B, C
and D, favorably Influence the course
of chronic arthritis. Patients seem to
do badly when they take too much
carbohydrate, and restriction of the
carbohydrate Intake alona will' often
relieve swelling and discomfort In a
few days.
Arthritis sufferers should take
whatever fresh fruits are In season or
available, and especially the so-called
"acid" fruits or fruit Juices, or fresh
or factory canned tomatoes or tomato
Juice, It Is a serious mistake to avoid
these healthful fruits In the attempt
to prevent Imaginary "acidosis." for
the fruit acids (except large amounts
of prunes, plums or cranberries) are
alkaline In their final reaction In the
body. Moreover the fresh frulta are
the best sources of vitamin C and
good sources of vitamin 'A and vita
min B. This applies to fresh or fac
tory canned tomatoes or tomato Juice
as well as to fruits.
There Is some experimental evi
dence that a habltuAl Insufficient In
take of vitamin O may be a causative
factor not only of acute Infectious
arthritis (rheumatic fever) but also

Value to Producers
of Blue Goose Trade-Mark
Our Blue Goose trade-mark is a familiar emblem in America and
in the homes and market places of many foreign lands. It
represents an accumulated consumer and trade good-will, worth
many millions of dollars. It has even larger potential value
dependent upon the volume of first-class products available for
marketing under it.
For example; a local chain in a leading market, under an intensive
advertising campaign, sold 79 carloads of one Blue Goose fruit in
ten days at the top of the market, with satisfaction alike to itself,
its patrons and to the growers. This illustrates the benefits of
mass selling of trade-marked, nationally advertised fresh fruits
and vegetables to supply the needs of mass retailing today.
In other lines of merchandise, the big volume buyer receives a
substantial discount in one fomi or another. In fresh fruits and
vegetables, the distributor able to supply the market regularly
with large volume under an advertised trade-mark can command
a top price; because standardized produce is worth more in large
volume to the mass distributor than otherwise. The grower or
shipper who is allied with such a distributor places himself in
position to secure this premium for his own brands.
When growers and grower groups add the Blue Goose trade-mark
jlo their own private brands, they are giving those labels the most
convincing endorsement that can be stamped on fresh fruits and
vegetables. Blue Goose means to housewives the best that can
be grown. It means top grade and quality. It means immediate
acceptance of private brands the housewife may never even have
seen or heard of because the Blue Goose insert is on the grower's
label and the Blue Goose wraps on the contents of the package.
