The White CAR
Latest Design for Commercial
Purposes Put on Popular
Vehicles

With the view of meeting the needs
of all commercial and industrial pur-
poses. new bodies are constantly being
brought forth and placed on the chas-
sis of motor cars. The latest to be
heard from is a dumping body.
For some time experiments have been
made by different manufacturers Of
cars, and one has at last been designed
for a White motor truck and placed in
operation by a firm of contractors in
New York city. This firm has a con-
tract in the metropolis for hauling
work, and the White company was re-
quested to design suitable body that
would rapidly dispose of the load car
ried The first truck has now been in
operation a little more than two
months, and c. A. Hawkins, Pacific
coast manage for the White com
pany, has received word that he car
has proven a revelation for efficiency
and economy of operation. The truck
carried a load of seven cubic yards of
ashes a distance of over a mile The
regular teams of horses had carried
but three and a half cubic yards to
load The teams average from five to
six trips daily, while the truck makes
from 10 TO y.
OF course there can be no comparison
Of expense of upkeep of four teams as

ALL PARTS OF CAR
CARRIED in STOCK
Standard Motor Company Has
Everything That Is Neces-
sary for Repairing Fords

W. L. Hughson. president Of the
Standard motor car company, in an in
terview, yesterday said:
There is probably nothing that gives
the motorist more confidence in himself
and In his car than the knowledge that
he is able to get parts. and by this 1
mean any part OF his car, at few
hours, notice. In many cases, If any
thing goes wrong with a car 1t means
laying 1t up for several weeks or
months. This makes an owner timfd.
and sometimes when the ocassion
comes. makes him disgusted with his
car.
"A Ford owner need not worry as
at the present time our company Is in
position to assenble 90 complete
cars within short notice. from the parts
which are carried by our firm.
"A tour OF our stock room is an In
teresting study for the man who has
watched the evolution OF the motor
car. as we carry parts for the older
models of the Ford as we'll as for the
1911. The greatest number OF parts
carried are naturally those OF the four
cylinder, which has reached its high
est development in our late model.
With a Ford owner the minute thing
happens recourse to the telephone or
telegraph will bring any needed part
in few hours at the most"
