THE TIMES.

800 WOMEN NEEDED BY SALVATION ARMY

Friday. November 1, 1918.

Commander Evangeline Booth Says War Relief Work Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, leader of the Salvation Army In the United States, has been suddenly called upon to furnish 800 additional war work women for France. The request is contained In a report just received by her from Col. William A. Barker of the Salvationist forces, whom she sent to France over a year ago to establish hutment and general war relief work with the American troops. "We will do nil o can to fill th!x demand," paid Commander Booth when discussing the approaching United War Work Campaign, "and the need Itself should Impress the American public all the more with the absolute necessity for sustaining and enlarging the war relief work of the seven organizations, besides the noble Red Cross, now merged for a drive for funds. Each Is a vital cog in a vast machine for human relief, and each Is indispensible, serving Its particular elements in Its own way. "The Salvation Army was born In hardship, reared in privation and trained to every phase of human misery and how to cope with it Perhaps that accounts in some degree for the success our work has attained and for which we are thankful. "We are of the common people, and we toil on a practical basis. We learned the lesson of how to do it in th Boer war, when we stood at the side of Britain's troops and weathered It out to the end. We have been tried by Are, and the mothers and fathers of America, as in other countries, trust the Salvation Army to do the thing they would like to do for their men If they hut had the chance. "With 1,210 trained workers at the front, operating from 420 huts and dugeuts, the Salvation Army Is doing, has done and will continue to do its best for the cause of humanity and Liberty."

Men who know our plant who have followed the steady growth of our company are buying Gary Motor Stock. They see Gary Motor Trucks on every street They have knowledge of the large shipments being made to different parts of the country. They are watching the new additions to our factory now going up. Their endorsement is from knowledge of our progress. They believe because they have seen. They have put their money into this essential industry, not because they have heard about it or read about it, but because right here on the spot they could investigate for themselves. They have positive proof laid before them that their money will undoubtedly bring large returns. Men who believe in Gary, back their own home industries. YOU, too, can keep the home dollars earning by investing in this great, growing Gary industry.

CURE FOR BLUES NEAR THE CAMPS

Community Service Takes Place of Mother, Friends and Home for Soldiers,

Ten young officers of the Student Army Training Corps of the University of Detroit recently applied for a furnished house and a housekeeper who would not be a servant, but, as one young officer expressed it, "the sort of woman to whom the boys can call out 'Hello, mother!" when they come in the front door." Homesickness is the malady for which War Camp Community Service supplies innumerable cures. "We've got your number." says the W. C. C. S. to the homesick boy from camp with leisure to spend in any one of the three hundred towns scattered over the country. While he's wondering what on earth he'll do with himself when he gets there, not knowing a soul in town and with s limited percentage of his "thirty per" In his pocket, along comes a friendly printed card from the local branch of his own lodge announcing a reception that night especially for soldier members. By the same mail the Methodist church send an announcement of all its meetings, addressed to him, with Thi Means You printed at the bottom. How did they know be was a Methodist? He had forgotten about the little "Personal Card" he made out at the adjutant's request during his first day in camp when It was only one of the endless details in the round of dentists and doctors and general confusion. The W. C. C. S. had not only his number, but his name and address, his home town, the name of the school he'd gone to and a good bit about the things he was fondest of doing each fact written into a little blank on the card especially for it. 1

T. Bangs, M. E., Chicago, 111. Director and General Counsel, C. V. Ridgely, of Hodges & Ridgely, Attorneys, Gary, Ind. Director, A. M. Fisher, Treasurer-Manager, Gary Lumber Co., Gary, Ind. PLANT Te Pant an gcneral offices of the company are located in Gary. It is a building of modern construction throughout, with a productive capacity of 600 Gary Motor Trucks per annum. There is a spur right into the property from the main line of the Wabash Railroad. This building is wholly inadequate for the growing needs of the company. Large factory extensions are under way at the present time, which, when completed, will provide the company with 80,000 square feet of floor space and a manufacturing capacity of 5,000 Gary Motor trucks annually. Gary, due to its strategic location is fast becoming one of the most important manufacturing centers in the world and is a particularly advantageous city for the building of motor trucks. By having its plant located in Gary the company can get on short notice its material without delay in delivery. The company enjoys the same shipping facilities as are used by the great Gary steel industries. PI? OUT I fT The company builds the well known Gary Motor Truck, in five models of five different capacities, 1 ton, y2 ton, 2 ton, 24 ton. and ton.

SALES AND The company has well estabTit CTDmiinniu lished distributor and dealer conUiaiiUiSUUUIV nection8 throughout the United States. Sales contracts on hand more than absorb the company's output. STRICTLY CASH The business of the comnilCTKircC Pany s conducted on a strictly 1U31I1IK cash basigi Tne distributors' and dealers sales contracts carry with them a cash deposit. All shipments are made with a sight draft attached to bill of lading. The proceeds of the sightdraft become immediately available; thus the working capital of the company is turned over five times per annum. MARinT1 One big advantage enjoyed by the Gary Motor Truck Company is the fact that it is an Essential Industry and therefore entitled to all the privileges afforded an industry of that character. Noted industrial experts predict that the motor truck industry will be governed by a demand much larger than the supply, not only for the duration of the war but for a number of years to come The general utility and economic value of the motor truck is today conceded by every single phase of American business activity. The recognition of the motor truck as the one solution of our transportation problem, is widespread. We have in use in the United States at the present time about 400,000 motor trucks, with an ever increasing demand among merchants, farmers and industrial corporations, and by the establishment of motor-express routes, both rural and industrial. It is estimated by those competent to judge, fhat the parcels-post-delivery-system of the country, alone will require from 100,000 to 300,000 trucks, and that there will be four million trucks in actual use in the United States after the war. Never before was the time so opportune for increased production and increased profit possibilities as the present, for a successful, well established, growing truck manufacturer, such as the Gary Motor Truck Company. UTrrPin1 For the present season, a minimum of VUA Ui nve Gary Motor Trucks per day, or 1,500 per annum, will be attained, at the earliest possible moment. Upon completion of the new factory additions, the company will have a capacity of 5,000 Gary trucks per annum, thereby further providing for consistent expansion in the next few years.

The company has been successful since its inception, three years ago.

Even during the first year of its existence (that is for the fiscal year ending August, 1916) a small profit was made on the capital invested. For the fiscal year end

ing August, 1917, net earnings were 24 per cent, and for the fiscal year of 1917, 29 per cent was earned. Today, on the basis of its scheduled production, net earnings of 42 per cent are conservatively estimated. This should not only permit all a substantial dividend disbursement among the shareholders, but at the same time allow us to carry forward a good surplus, and on that basis, the shares of the company now offered at $15 should be worth from $40 to $45 a share. GARY TRUCK The Gary Motor Truck is not an OWNFRS experiment it is not in the stages urvmiVElo c mechanical development because hundreds of Gary Trucks have been delivering successful service over a long period of time, and are today giving complete satisfaction to their respective owners, numbering among whom are such discriminating buyers as the Standard Oil Company. The United States Steel Corporation, The American Bridge Company, Standard Steel Car Company, The Texas Company, Illinois Steel Company, Delphi Independent Oil Company, Krey Packing Company, The Lomax Company, Schulze Baking Company, Star Union Brewing Company, LaPorte Independent Oil Co., Malleable Steel Range Company, Crumpled Horn Dairy and The Koehring Machine Company. In years past "repeat" orders from these and like corporations have fully absorbed the company's production. All of these firms, without exception, testify to the sterling qualities of the Gary Motor Truck. AN ESSENTIAL The manufacture of motor IlwniTCTHV trucks is classified by the United inuuaini gtates Government as an indus try essential to the successful prosecution of the war. From the standpoint of the investor, the essential industry should accordingly receive first consideration, particularly so as unusual profits are being made. REGISTRAR The Gai7 State Bank, Gary, Ind. PFWPT? ATi The management of the company ViAHlWaLJ continue to be vested in the same men who have so ably guided its affairs for the past three years, and who are as a unit in working towards making the Gary Motor Truck Co. one of the largest producers in the United States, and as such, a powerful factor in industry.

Girls, Too, Will Stand With Them Behind Every Fighter at the Front.

To put behind every Catholic fighter In France the support of one boy or girl In every parish throughout the United States is the plan of the National Catholic War Council for backing the Victory Boys' and Victory Girls' "Earn and Give" Division of the United Work War Campaign to raise $170,500,000 "for the boys over there" during the week of November 11-1S. Through diocesan, county and parish organizations, the rallying of one youngster for every man who has gone to war in every community is already under way. By their own earnings, and not by contributions, it is expected that these sturdy little sponsors for the boys abroad will each raise at least five dollars for the Joint welfare work of the Y. M. C. A, Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council, Including the Knights of Columbus, War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board, American Library Association and Salvation Army. Boys and girls in every Catholic parish throughout the United States are already being picked to represent each fighting man who has left their church for the front In every home that flies a service flag little brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, are eagerly volunteering to look out for the share of their family fighter in the huge Joint welfare campaign for all the boya abroad.
