SEND MAIL BY TRUCKS “Give me 60,000 of the trucks that army has and 240,000 discharged | Tha! as personnel and I can give United States such a system of 4 mail delivery as no country in the world has ever had,” says Fourth | Assistant Postmaster General Blak» Tee. ‘This in itself ts startling enough, Dut Mr. Blakslee continues: “In ad- _ ition, I will not only guarantee to} have these trucks pay for the estab -Wehment of the service and them- gelves, but to have them contribute & sufficient revenue to turn every “one of the roads over which they| Must operate into improved high- ‘ways in the space of five years.” Mr. Blakslee goes on to point out the double advantages of his propo-| att in that it will provide a large of returned soldiers with im- jobs, thus solving one of our ding problems, while at the same it will fill an economic want Tecognized, in supplementing scant transportation system it is weakest. Three quarters our rural population is without adequate transportation system connect it with the centers of pop- “Wlation, the great consumers of rural uce. This rural post system em- motor trucks will alter this by serving the small communities off the main arteries of railed tr ortation, will bring vast quan- ities of foodstuffs into the markets, d of permitting them to be ed as is usually the case today. " The reason why the postoffice de nt is peculiarly fitted to han- this rural motor truck operation, that in the delivery of first class i, the trucks will be able to earn oney to pay expenses even if they a no other matter. Twenty ds of first class mail, 50 letters the pound, means $30 per day, will more than pay the cost up-keep and operation of a two- truck. In this way the first class iter postage acts as a sort of sub- , to make the rural motor truck i service profitable from the very ‘Phe whole scheme has been worked in admirable detail and would to offer a remarkably simple of providing our returning sol- with honorable employment, of extending our meager transportation and of earning a very large of improved highways with- one cent to the taxes of Nor Blow Out AYTON AIRLESS TIRES in the! past 6 years have been used by u ds of owners of light pas ser and de- cars 1 can't ture nor out, 3 ey ride as 3s amoothly as give much longer wear than the werage pneu- tie. fi wil t injure the car. ‘They have been med by 50 ly ch | ineer of the } Motor Com- "Nothing can happen but wear, ‘wear, wear. |For Fords, Chevrolets, Maxwells ‘ghd light Overlands, 30x3 and 30434. | Stocks of these tires are carried at | First ave., Seattle, and 175 8. , Spokane. fer Miustrated Rook and Prices to | | 8 “MORE CARS,” SAYS GRANT “The biggest February in history.” '# the statement made by H. P- Grant, manager of the Seattle Auto mobile Co. “If the record-breaking mark set this last month ts any tn- dication of the automobile business in Seattle during the year 1919, we shall be up against it for cars when the big months of the year come around.” The Chandler ine, handled by the Seattle Automobile company, is prov- ing more popular every year, and the requests for sub agencies from dealers in the territory controlled, together with demands for increaned avotments from dealers already sell ing Chandlers, have made neces sary an increase in contracts by one-third. At the present time a doubled contract looks probable, if the cars can be secured from the factory. While Mr. Grant was in the East he met Chandler distributors from all over the United States, and each one bragged of the wonderful de mand for the line in the territory controlled. “I didn’t say much,” ~vid Grant, “but they will have to go some to follow the trail of Chandlers put out in Western and part of Kast ern Washington, where we handle the line. “While on the subject of automo- biles which is very close to my heart, I might mention that our Sales manager is constantly at my heels for more Maxwells, altho right now we are far ahead of our regular allotment. The 1919 model Maxwell is surely proving its popularity in this neck of the woods. “At the show we wil have a Chandler dispatch model, and dther seasonable styles in motor cars, from both the Chandler and the Maxwell lines, We hope to see all our friends and customers at the Seattle Automobile company’s ex hibit.” ENGLISH DROPS IN ON LOCAL DEALER Full of enthusiasm for the truck prospects this spring and surnmer.
