NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1918 OLD GLORY TO FLY AGAIN ON PAGIFIC "New Shipping Concern Formed With $5,000,000 Capitalization New York, Feb. ping combination which ,1he American flag back into the trans- Pacific service was yes- terday by the firm of Wil- liams & Wigmore, Inc., well known in the financial district and abroad as buying agents for several of the _allled governments. The new com- pany will have a capitalization of $5,000,000 and a fleet of about four- teen ships to start with. porated under the laws of Delaware. While it is planned to have both an Atlantic and a Pacific route, it is un- derstood that the large share of the shipping will be in the Pacific. The Pacific route will be from San Francisco to points in Japan, China, and Russia. The port of call in Rus- #1a will be Vladivostok. In the At- lantic service the ships are to run 4rom New York to Archangel, when tnat port is open to navigation, and it is probable that shipments also will be made to English and European rorts in competition with English, | French and American lines. The name of the new company will | be the Gaston, Williams & Wigmore Steamship corporation, with George ! A. Gaston, head of the purchasing ! 'firm, as president of the new com- | pany. James A. Wigmore, N. J. Bud- , long, Willlam H. Williams, and R. H Lee Martin, all connected with the same firm, will be officials of the | company. These men will be on the | 24.—A new ship- is to carry announced Gaston, board of directors, and the only other Alrector elected is Charles H. Sabin, president of the Guaranty Trust company. This banking institution, it | nas been generally understood, has | financed Gaston, Willlams & Wig- more, Inc., fr-m the beginning of the war. All Stock Subscribed. i Details of the company’s organiza- iion have not been announced. It wus said, however, that there would be no stock flotation. All the stock, M was said, had been subscribed by those connected with the company, indicating that the company was a | ciose corporation. While the major part of the business will be derived | from the exports of Gaston, Wil- tiams & Wigmore, Inc.,, it was an- neunced that available shipping space would be sold to the general public. SWINDLER'S WIFE 1§ DEFIANT AT INQUIRY ! Séys Darned Questions Make Her Sick and Refuses to Reply New York, Feb, 24.—The possibility of Dr. J. Grant Lyman using the ad- Vertisement columns of the news- papers to get in touch with his wife was brought out yesterday at the re- nowed bankruptcy hearing into his affairs before Commissioner Alexan- der Gilchrist, Jr. Alfred Nathan, counsel for J. L. Lyttle, the receiver, made Mrs. Lyman admit that a cer- 1ain advertisement for an English valet might possibly have been in- serted by Lyman as a code message to her, but beyond that he was unable to get anything more specific from her. Mr. Nathan reminded Mrs. Lyman that such an advertisement had ap- reared and went o “Did you tell any one that you thbught that advertisement had been irserted by your husband.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Lyman, who, as often as she can, keeps her answers down to monosyllables. “Did you say you thought it had e:gnificance for you?” “¥ s More than Lyman would that, however, Mrs. not say. As Mr. Na- than pressed her with questions she ot swered evasively, and all she would admit was that from something her pusband had said before she went to Furope and he disappeared, she had been led to expect that some kind of ccde advertisement would be pub- lished As Mr. Nathan kept questioning ter she complained about being “per- secuted” and remarked with a deal of emphasis: Dhrned Questions Make Her Sick. “These darned questions make mo sick. You can arrest me and put me i+ prison if you want to. I should worry.” “You are Fusbead, T than. Yes, and I'm going to do every thing in my power to protect my hus- bend from cverybody.” As nothing more seemed likely to be brought out on that line Mr. Na- than turned off to Mrs. Ellen Peck, “the confldence queen,” cne tlme apparently a Lyman's.

It's about time you did.” Mrs, Lyman's examination centinued tomorrow. The information that has been re- cefyed by Mr. Nathan is that the ob- ject of the advertisement was merely 50 you will be It is incor- | 1e give Mrs. Lymon an address to w:bich she could write. I made up my mind to give you people the biggest possible automobile value for your money. I studied the situation from every angle. When I decided to hang the Chalmers Monogram over my door, I did so for salient, rock-ribbed reasons. I am convinced that Chalmers cars combine big value and sensible price. ’ Hugh Chalmers does not make them merely to sell— but to stay sold. Some automobile factories build their own frames, but buy their engines elsewhere in job lots. They are not factories at all—just big assembly plants. But the Chalmers car is built entirely in the Chalmers plant—from rough casting to final assembly. The great Chalmers plant comprises twenty-two great, clean, sunny buildings. If you ever get into Detroit, visit the Chalmers factory. In the chassis assembly room you will hear a din like the rivet hammers of twenty skyserapers crashing in concert—the compressed-air hammer squad riveting Chalmers chassis. In the physical testing laboratory, you will see up-to- date instruments of torture ingeniously designed to crush, twist, stretch, and bend iron and steel. Here all raw material that goes into the Chalmers car must first receive unqualified O. K. Samples of every shipment of steel, iron, bronze, and aluminum must be found perfect by Chalmers chemists. Their laboratory is the best equipped in the whole motor industry. Quality First WHY 1 HAVE HUNG THE CHALMERS MONOGRAM OVER MY DOOR You’ll see the great forge and foundry. There are more drop forgings—remember—in the Chalmers car than in any other car in its price class. The enormous fender press, which cost $90,000, turns out a graceful Chalmers molded fender with every 175-ton blow. Automatic milling machines bore and grind Chalmers cylinders—accurate to 1-1000 of an inch. In the Chalmers heat-treat inferno, the roar and smoke of thirty furnaces suggest Vesuvius at bat—batting 1000 per cent. Everywhere you’ll see inspectors—alert, all eyes, fingers, measurement—insisting on deadly accuracy— armed with micrometer, with scleroscope; 226 in- spectors all told; and inspection alone costs the Chalmers company over $300,000 every year. Every Chalmers car I sell ties up with the great Chalmers organization, year after year, by virtue of the highly developed Chalmers Service. There is nothing vague about Chalmers Service. Its universal coupon system provides for 100 half- hours of free inspection service every year, negotiable at any Chalmers dealer in the country. That’s the reason why I paid cold cash for a generous quota of these magnificent cars. E. G.
