Incident Bears Out Theory of
Olaude Boberts That Values
on Used Car Market Really
Show Vehicle's Worth.
After twice crossing: t lie United
States from Seattle to New York, a
©ne and one-half ton GMC truck lias
entered on a new life in the service of
a private truck owner. Moreover on
resale, even with the Ions mileage rec
ord of a double transcontinental Jour
ney, the truck brought within $600 of
Itsoriginal selling price.
This splendid example of GMC sta
bility and the .way In which GMC
trucks do hard work and continue to
do it has Just come from the factory.
The truck in question is that driven
from Seattle to New York by William
Warwick with a load of condensed
milk and then driven back again by
Warwick. This truck made one of
the most remarkable and memorable
runs in truck annals.
ABILITY FOR HARD WORK.
"The record made by this GMC in
Its journeys from coast to coast." says
Claude Roberts, Jr., of the Randall -
Dodd Auto Co, Ltd.. dealers for GMC
trucks," was conclusive evidence in
itself of the ability of GMC trucks to
do hard work and to surmount the
greatest obstacles of overland travel.
After more than 10,000 miles of the
most gruelling travel which the truck
;had in its two trips across country.
,tt would have been no disgrace to the
(construction and, ability of the truck,
if it had required considerable over
hauling and revamping before it was
sent out on any other work. As a
matter of fact. T am told, the truck
rame through in such splendid shap«*
that nothing was needed for it except
such a going over as any truck should
have once a year
'For this truck to he sent back to
New York again and there be sold to
a truck user for every day work speaks
even more for the truck's ability and
for its stamina. And on top of that to
have the selling price only $600 below
the original list of the truck is the
most convincing evidence of the regard
in which GMC trucks are held every
where by truck users who know Of
course what sets the price on a used
truck is the value that remains in the
truck, estmated in the light of expe
rience and in a survey of the truck's
mechanical condition.
USED GMC'S KEPT IN USE.
"What a used motor truck will do
for the buyer as against what a new
truck will do determines the difference
in the price of the used truck and the
pew model. And for that reason, the
•mailer the difference, the better the
used truck. While the example of the
transcontinental GMC is a mighty
good case in point, the same condition
prevails all over the country GMC
trucks are not often on tlie market
used cars. Their owners seldom have
occasion to sell them because GMC
trucks give service, year after year.
• nd arc able to compete with the new
er models in efficiency and ability tc
do hard tasks. ,
"Personally 1 believe that the stand
ing a motor vehicle has in the used
car market is often tin* best evidence
of its real standing, in other words,
the number of motor trucks of any
make for sale a« used trucks and the
price is a good Indlcatiion of the way
these trucks are performing for busl
pess men and of their value in terms
of longevity"

Hundreds of Craftsmen Remain
With Company Long Periods
—One Inspector Has Fol
lowed Line Quarter Century.
No one realizes better, or even, so
clearly, as manufacturers themselves,
the great value of a factory organisa
tion that remains Intact year after
year. Consequently, manufacturers
strive to hold their workmen together.,
after thev have been painstakingly
trained. In this respect, the records
show that the Cadillac Motor Car
company occupies a particularly' ad
vantageous position.
The Cadillac record of employes loy
alty is unique in the automobile indus
try, which has been marked through
out its relatively short history by fre
quent changes. Quite the opposite is
shown In this instance. There Is at
st one workman whose continuous
employment under Cadillac auspices
antedates the beginning of the com
pany Itself. He is an inspector who
has followed the same line of work,
with the Cadillac and its predecessors,
for 25 years.
Five other workmen have been asso
ciated with the same interests for 18
to 23 years and a man who is now
générai foreman has had 23 years' con
tinuous employment. A recent canvass
of the shops revealed the fact that 142
superintendents. department heads
and others, had records of 10 to 15
years of Cadillac employment, and 427
men in the same classifications point
tc periods of employment /anging from
5 to 10 years.
EXCELLENCE IS AIM.
"The proportion of skilled Cadillac
craftsmen who remain with the com
pany year after year, is very gratify
ing." said R. H. Collins, president and
general mai ager of the company. "Ths
spirit of pride and personal Interest
which the men associate with our
product, is in >aluable. We know, from
reports which sri constantly reaching
us, that the fteling is widespread Mat
the man v.h works under Cnd'llao
traditions mil standards Is reeeiv
the best tro ton? America affords,
this, of course has Its effect on
fineness and the accuracy with which
all Cadi !»•; cpotations, even to these
which appea- tc be trifling, are exe
cuted.
• It ts nV te.-> much to say that «very

Excellence ol work is the aim and the
Ideal. The natural result of Ionr as

organisation and with the company

which are sought above all else by
every manufacturer."

During the expedition, we were able to
make a good map. examine the char
acter of the country and the inhabi
tants and form some Idea ot their
numbers and resources. The tillable
laid on the east side of the lake be
tween it ami the foothills is capable,
if properly cultivated, of maintain* at
least 100 . 00 ft souls, and by using; avail
able land in the foothills, a greater
number could be maintained. To con
struct a wagon road for permanent
ure at all seasons of the year cause
ways would bave to be built across
thf* lowlands, the greater part of which
arc practically flooded during the
rainy season, and substantial bridges
wouid have to be thrown across the
four larger rivers.
•Our human purpose was Impressed
ipon the people by contrasting this
purpose with the opposite determina
tion to severely punish all who inter
feted with us in the proper execution
a duty to the government and to
them, and while there are still a few
who will retain feelings of resentment
and revenge for a time, there can be
no doubt hut that the effect will be
lasting, and when considered in con
nection with our present knowledge of
the country and the Inhabitants, it will
give us an advantage in the future
management of them which they, as
whole, will be as quick to recognize
as we are.
