Agent Tells of Experiences
While Travelling Through

OR. Hastings of the local Winton
branch has just returned from Nevada
after an absence of 10 days spent IN
touring over the so called roads of the
state. There are but three cars In
Virginia City, and two of them are
Wintons. Hastings made the run

latter cars on gasoline consumption
of little over 10 miles per gallon
The air valve on the carburetor was
opened slightly due to the high anu
tude, but there was no trouble at
any time from fabrication, cooling or
road clearance.
The Winton representative noticed
that many makes were blocked up I'M
der the springs to secure road clear
ance, and upon inquiry learned that
this procedure was necessitated by the
fact that the f1ywheel on these cars
struck distractions that the aXles
would clear.
The f1ywheel was so small on our
six cylinder car" said Hastings, that
we did not have to guard against this
danger. The two Wintons at Virginia
City are running with the original san
Francisco water in the radiator. And,
Hastings added, they are going TO ad-
wise us when they need more.

truck with Standard Express
body.
The White gasoline trucks are
Offered to businessmen as the means
of increasing the efficiency and re-
ducing the cost OF the delivery and
trucking branches of their business.
For the last five or six years ali
of the trucking necessary in con-
nectiOn with our vast business OF
building White automobiles has
been done by motor trucks-sOme
of our own manufacture and some
purchased from other makers. We
have thus, to an unusual degree,
combined the experience of maker
and user, and we thoroughly under
stand the trucking business, not
only from the manufacturers, but
also from the users point of view.
The success of any commercial
vehicle depends largely upon the
cost of maintenance. Low cost of
maintenance of the White trucks
is assured, because the design is
ideally adapted to the conditions
which trucks must Withstand in
everyday service, the materials
used are the best which money can
buy, and the workmanship is OF
that high standard which is possible
only in welI-arranged, WE'LL
equipped and well-lighted plant,
and by an organization which, since
the first days of the industry, has
been engaged in the manufacture
of high grade motor cars.
One of the factors i'm the design
of the White trucks which re-
duees the cost of up-keep to a
minimum is the accessibility of all
the working parts. First of all,
the engine is i'm front under the
bonnet where ii is completely ac-
cessible. The engine is of ex-
tremely simple design. The four
cylinders are cast zen bloc with
the intake and exhaust passages
included within the engine cast
ing. In this way external mani
folds are eliminated, there are only
about One-quarter of the usual
number of joints to be kept tight.
and there is nothing in the way to
prevent ready access to the valves
and other working parts. This
idea of easy accessibility is carried
throughout the entire mechanism.
In general, any part which might
ever need adjustment may be
reached without removing or dis
turbing any other part.
The advanced features of the
White engine-sueh as the Sslong
stroke" the heating of the intake
gases and the cooling of the ex-
haust gases-result in considerably
lower fuel consumption than has
heretofore been attained in trucks

"WHITE" STEAMER
Shows ITS POWER
Well Known Motor Car Proves
Its WOrthiness Over Rough
Country Roads

III. e. Doty is in receipt of letter
from w. H. Blalock of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
giving a remarkable instance of White
steamer power. It reads
ION February "a, 1910, leaving Chey-
enne, Wye, about s o'clock a. m. bound
for Denver, Colo, we made what we
consider very remarkable run with
our 1910 model o White steamer
Travelling over rough country roads,
with hills ranging from 80 to 40 per
cent, we towed one dead auto express
wagon the entire distance of 120 miles,
consuming the run in eight and a half
hours.
I'VE experienced no trouble whatever
in any form, and on one of the worst
hills our rope broke, causing us to back
the steamer down to the dead machine.
but when we started up we found it
unnecessary to change gears on our
car. which certainly speaks we'll for the
pulling power of the White steamer"
The two White trucks which arrived
in San Francisco a few days ago con-
tinue to excite a great deal of interest
and inquiry. These trucks, although the
Whites most recent achievement, are
already in great demand in the east.
