The complete success OF the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent OF the New York Sun
sent to his paper ut the conclusion Of
the tour:
"A feature OF the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
scne. or coal OIL as fuel instead OF
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650.mile
journey. and nil claims made In its
behalf were fully proven. First cf
all. as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
cr per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly. the new fuel was
handled without any precautions. and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew OF the car and IN interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish OF the
tour. the White was the only car per.
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall. where the technical
examination took place. without
draining Its fuel tank. Thirdly. the
new fuel proved to. be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly.
kerosene could be purchased at what.
ever part Of the route was most con-
venient. and not once during the trip
through the ten States Of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the
