He sces the abusing of women | and children by the enemy; he sees the country forced to pay tribute; he sees the nation's capitol in a vast jumble of | ruins, | Later the picture great ships of war ride the of the ocean; tralned forces drill the precision of grest machines; fleets of aeroplanes fly and circle overhead: a preparedness is shown of such compelling | scope as to defy any Invading force. 1 In the production are 2,500 National Guardsmen, $00 members of the Grand Army, 80 horses and 8,000 superumaries.

Jeffery dealers select a month when road condi- tions are exceptionally bad to demonstrate the amazi that drives, brakes ability of the Jeffery Quad—the truck and steers on all four wheels. ELEBRATING the world-wide acceptance of the Jeffery Quad as the w/fimate type of motor truck, Jeffery dealers this month are giving & series of remarkable demon- strations, Their pu se is to drive home more forcibly than ever before, the fact that this truck does everything the standard rear-wheel-drive type of truck can do, and then goes on doing things no other truck in the world ca do. They have chosen the month of December, because heavy snow-falls, thaws and rains make the roads particularly bad at this time—and because it is under the most difficult conditions that the uad most clearly demonstrates its superior ability. 1f you're not already thoroughly posted on the Jeffery Quad, see your dealer, or write the Jeffery Company for complete information, < World-Recognition Originally designed and built by the Jeffery Company to replace the four-mule team inthe United States Army, the Quad during the past year, by sheer merit of its per« formance, has met with tremend- ous success in commercial service in practically every part of the world. In this period, more than 2,000 Quads have been bought, built and sent into service from the Jeffery factory — a record never before equaled for trucks of similar capacity. Today the Jeff- ery Quad is known and recognized cured the services of Mr. Huster, who in the future will direct the musical selec- tions of this theater.
