GOVERNORS OF MANY
GOOD ROAD WORK
Governor after Governor is coming out pronouncedly for
real road programs for the immediate future, /Governor Davis,
at a Virginia good roads convention the other day, received an
ovation when he put forward the proposition of raisifig $25,000,-
000 for the building of 1,200 mile of State highways, He frankly
admitted that he wanted to be known ms the ** Good Roads Gov
ernor of Virginia.”’
th‘rinz Governor Capper, who next takes a geat in the
United States Senate, out in Kansas thus expressed himself :
"*Cheap and quick motor transportation of produets from and tp*
the farm is eoming. It ix to be our next big development. High
way bßuilding in our agricultural States offers the way for em
ploying thousands of our men who have seen and have repaired
and have rebuilt many of the magnificent roads of Franee.”
New Jersey's Governor also comes to the Senate when the next Con
gress meets in Washington. Senatorelect Walter B, Edge is avowedly a
ibellevar in nation-wide roads development, recently putting it into these
words: “The Federal Government is In a better position than any State
or combination of States to assume a directing generalship over highways
of the wh®e nation, suplying the missing links here and there and direct
Hng new extension in such a way that available undeveloped land will be
upened up to the touch of agriculture. Furthermore, the nation’s enormous
AgEregate ex[u'nd‘turv on roads will be divested of that wanton waste Which
18 the project of gross mismanagement and se!fish motives.”
| Governor Robertson, of Oklahoma, hopes to induce the Legislature to
adopt a $40,000,000 bond issue for the purpose of supplying the Indian
State with a connected road' uyln:-m. It i 8 his idea that interest and sink
ing fund can be met a~thfly through the production tax from ofl and the
registration tax from auflomobiles.
Chalrman George C. Diehl, of the A. A, A. good roads board, predicts
that the present Congress will add substantialy to the present Federal aid
road act, while the next Congress will have squarely placed hefore it the
proposition of a Federal system. )
“Just as we have advanced from town to county and then State road
building, it is inevitable that next we should follow up these State systems
by the lnking together of a Federal plan,” aMyerts Mr. Diehl, who has
probably attended as many highways meetings of one kind and another in
t‘he United States ms any other mgn, Mr. Diehl, who is enginer of Erie
County, New York, is contending for a 24-foot road frem Buffalo to Albany
to the metropolis, which would mean a substantial widening and strength

The success of the Hanson Motor Com>
pany in its first year of manufacturing
Hanson Sixes was the talk of Automo
bile Row last week George Hanson's
dfeam, a big Atlanta factory to make
real adtémobiles, had materialized so
uletly that its actual results were not
khown to everybody in the gasoline
world
Something of the big things the Han
son Motor Company did in 1918 was dis
cloged last week following a meeting of
its stockhoiders It was voted to In
crease the capital stock to $1,000.000 and
erect new bulldings to double the ca
‘m«n_\ of the big plant out opposite Fort
McPherson, A handsome dividemd was
declared.
The Hanson Six may be scen off the
roads all over Georgla now agencles
having been established in every part of
the State. They are enthusiastic over
the car, too, and repjort a ready demand
for them, Orders are on hand at the
factory for 800 ocars, and applications
were reported on file from many prospeo
tive representatives, The new factory
will provide a ecapacity of ten cars a
day, which is considered necessary to
meet the demand It s expected to
:-nnfpluln the additions to the plant
within t*‘x'y days.
The oMcers of the COMpany were re
elected, as follows: George W, Hanson,
president; J. A. Sasser, vice president,
and Arthur Burdett, secretary and
treasurer, The following directors were
chosen: St. Elmo Massengale, Dr. N. Z
Anderson, Covington O H. Arnoll
Athens, and A. P. Phillips, W, H. Brit
tain and M. W, Reed, Atlan Ny
That the automobile bysiness in At
lanta is in & healthy state is evidenced
by the announcement of the Hawkins.
Russell Motor Company, who have out
grown thelr present place at 200 and
202 Ivy street, and as a consequence
have leased the sales and showroom
formerly oecupled by the Randall Mo
tors Company
Another interesting development is
that this company has secured Athe
agency for Chevrolet Motor Company
In Atlanta and Fulton County, Mr
Hawkins stated yesterdAy that they
will have a full line of models on dis
play at their new showroom Monday,
The former place on lvy street has
heen retained as a service station
where expert repalring will be done and
ulso storing
In addition to the Chevrolet the Haw
Kins-Russell Company are distributors
for the All-American, Jumbg and Aca
son trucks.

GENTLEMEN: _ .
This Is to certify that we conducted an efficiency test of 90% Benzol (Motor Fuel) in the Testing Lab
‘oratory of the Automobile Club of America. This test was to determine the relative éfficiency of this 90%
Benzol (Motor Fuel) over commercial gasoline. The results thatwe found proves this 90% Benzol (Motor
Fuel) to be approximately 18% more efficient as Motor Fuel at 2000 revolutions than the average commer
clal gasoline in use today. We also determined that this 9% Benzol (Motor Fuel) showed an increase of
horsepower at every range of speed from 800 to 2000 revolutions per minute. The motot on-which this test
was made, after being disassembled and the various parts examined to determine the amount of carbon de
posit, showed practieally no Benzol carbon at all, there heing a slight deposit upon the exhaust vatves and
the heads of the pistons which appeared to be a spot and was easily removed with a damp cloth. The spark %
plugs were practically clean. The in]et.valves had no carbon at all upon them.
Most of the time this motor v‘va,s run at an approximate speed of 1000 revolutions per mihute and dur
ing all this time the porformance of the motor was perfect.
Yours very fruly, | :

Another interesting point is that while we have had considerable antagonism from our enemies in general,
the fact remains that the largest producers and sellers of gasoline in the United States have tried out Benzol.
in conjunetion with gasoline, which is Woeo Pep, and have placed their orders for large quantities of Benzol to
be used in econjunction with gasoline, and are using enormous quantities of it. We are indeed fortunate in con
trolling this territory.
