Vaudeville and Moving Pictures at the Davis = ANNOUNCEMENTS MANY ADVANTAGES IN LIGHT DELIVERY Farmers and Dairy Merchants Use the Pullman in Making Direc-to- Consumer Sales in Large Cities. John B. McDuffee, Putnam, repre- sentative of the Pullman line, believes the greatest fleld for the sale of light delivery cars lies in the suburban farming _districts. His opinion is borne out by recent sales of the Pullman delivery car, 80 per cent. of which have been made in the outlying sections of the cit- fes, thelr purchasers realizing the many advantages of the 1000-pound vehicle in making direct-to-consumer deliveries of their farm products In fact, the Pullman representative explains, ' the day when th brings his products to the ci kets for resale to the consumer is dying hard, for the efficiency of the delivery car enables him to make di- rect sales to the homes, reaping the middleman’s profit and at the same time operating his delivery service at reduced_cost The Pullman_ delivery car, capable of carrying a 1000-pound load.” said Mr. McDuffee, “is admirably suited to the needs of the farmer and small merchant because it performs many more functions than the horse-driven vVehicle as well as being a biz mone saver and conservator of time “A few years hence it will be fm- possible to do the cartage of the country by means of ho It is fast becoming recognized horses cannot do the work that is called for in the delivery of merchandise fr: stores, In hauling truck from th dens—the day of be motorized is fast approac “It has taken vears of fizures and demonstration to show big merchants the economy in time and money that would come to them by the use of the light delivery car, but the educatio has been complete, and the deman has never been so great a Present time. Even the zre of the earth—the United cluded—have e to recognize the fact that horses canrot possibly do the work the light dellvery car is called upon to perform. “Little by little the small merchant | 1s becoming educated to the use of the power-driven vehicle that best suits his needs, as gauged by the size of his business or by the extent of the hauling he is compelled to do And once he has given the motor truck a trial he seldom goes b the slow process of using hors the consequent drain upon his re- sources throuzh p for v of men who a not produci Dobbin is sauntering along at a snail's pace.” AT THE AUDITORIUM. Dustin Farnum in Ben Blair, Para- mount Feature, Friday and Satur- _ day. Pallas Pictures Corporation will present today and tomorrow on the Paramount program Dus 3 In Ben Blair, a western picture i beautiful reels. A short synopsis of the story follows Ben Blair, the boy, a quivering, ter- ror-stricken mite of humanity, alone on_the prairie, c with fear of & drutal father, while overhead the sky glowing red in reflection of his home, fast crumbling to ashes—an- other mark of his father's cruelty, and the grave of his only friend—his mother. Then— Ben Blair the m mined and resourcef: only Dustin Farnum can depict him, a wonderful fllustration of the man who fights lite's battles alone, and who has the courage of his convictions Ben Blair is a play, unusual in its skilful contrasts of life on the prairie and on Broadway. It possesses ac- tion aplenty, a theme that will hold and thrill. 'The Ben Blalrs of real life will find a marvelous counter- part in the Ben Blair which Dustin Farnum has created for the screen The seventh episode of the Mys- terfes of Myra in two reels will be shown today and tomorrow as well as Napolian the Great and Sally His Mate in new monkeyshines.
