construction makes a powerful wedge
and at the same time prevents the

Increasing with Develop

What will be the future of the motor

been asked but 1t is so stupendous in
its possibilities that few OF the Dig
motor merchantmen have dared to give
an answer. That the commercial end
of the industry before many years will
far outstrip the pleasure end Is con-
coded on all sides, but just how great
the business is likely to become no
one dares to predict. Among the en-
thusiasts in the commercial motor We

the possibilities of the latter were far

I had scarcely a fragment of an idea

cars comes largely from the moneyed
classes, the desire for commercial cars
is developing among all classes of peo-

where as one type of vehicle is more
or less of luxury, the other type is
becoming every day more OF an actual
necessity.
BIG DEMAND
while the use of commercial cars
is largely confined at the present time
to successful and progressive business
houses, Investigations and inquiries as
to their cost and efficiency are coming
from every type of business concern
in both city and country. When these
investigators learn, usually to their
surprise, that 1t costs less to maintain
motor equipment than 1t does an equiv

NEW SMALL ROADSTER
IN Los ANGELES MARKET
Flanders 200 Built on Lines SINH

of Machines

The newest small roadster that has
appeared for local favor is the Elan
ders 30" several of which were re-
ceived last week by the Lord Motor
Car company, Pacific coast distrib-
utors.
The car is designed by the same en-
gineer who made the EMF famous,
and while light car, has all the rigid
ity of any of the heavier cars, and
they can easily cover in excess Of 200
miles in an ordinary days run. The
lines are very similar to the classy
small foreign cars, the equipment the
same as found in big car, and the
quality of upholstering and finish is
superior to many cars selling at double
the price. There is every indication
that this little car will speedily become
a general favorite.

is the Michelin valve spreader, which
does away entirely with all security
bolts or Jugs. A single spreader only
is required for each tire, instead of
from four to six Jugs, and as the
spreader is a part of the valve the

Is the greatest trouble of the industry
at the present time. The demand is
so far in advance of the supply that
the channels of trade are more or less
clogged. The more successful OF the
truck manufacturers are working their
factories night and day in an almost
vain effort to catch up with orders and
a majority of them are charging their
plants to double and even treble their
present outputs.

which horses cannot be profitably sup5

son in actual service that self-propelled
vehicles will do the work of three or
four or sometimes even five teams, Will
cover daily schedules in from one-half
to one-quarter of the time required by
horses, will double or triple the radius
of delivery and will increase delivery
efficiency. The limit of profitable horse
haulage per day is placed at eleven
miles for a two-ton truck and nine
miles for a five-ton truck. gasoline

per day, no matter what the condi-
lions may be, and Will be ready TO re-

Mr.. Hamilton was conservative in his
estimates. The time will surely come
and within the lifetime of many per-
sons now living when horses Will no
longer be used as beasts of burden
except in remote cases; then the noble
animal will be employed solely Tor
pleasure and show and will be found
principally on the equestrian paths
and driveways of our parks.
For the relief of traffic congestion
in the larger cities commercial motor
vehicles already are becoming a neces-
sity. Occupying only half the space,
starting and stopping in third Of the
time and turning in half the distance
required by horses, they will more
than cut congested conditions in half.
