WHAT 1T COSTS TO
OWN AN AUTOMOBILE


G y Carter. a writer for Outing, has
an article in the January Issue of that
magazine telling of what it costs 10 own
an automobile. To the prospective buyer
the information might be interesting,
while the owner of a machine can amuse
himself by comparing Mr.. Carriers fig
ures with the drains upon his own peck
etbock.
The article reads
Gasoline consumption of the cheap lit
tie runsbout is moderately small. in an
official test at the New York automobile
carnival year ago. tie record estab-
lshed was 42.6 n lies to a gallon Of gaso-
line, though another car actually scored
IS miles per gallon, but lost the record
by deviating from the prescribed course.
A gallon of gasoline costs anywhere
from % cents, when bought at roadside
garage. down to u cents when purchased
by the barrel. While the average driver
under average conditions will hardly do
more than half as well, he should be
thankful to be able to travel a cost of
a quarter OF a cent to half cent per
passenger per mile for fuel. A heavy car
that runs nine miles per gallon of gaso-

a 5000 car with a 30 horsepower engine.
The cheaper car weighs only 1900 pounds.
ssuming the weight of the passengers to
be 600 pounds, the total dead and live
load is 1890 pounds. or 80 pounds per
horsepower.
THE present year marks the real be-
ginning of the era of the low-prced car.
which. the dealers understand the
term is one that calls for less than 5000.
Precisely how much less depends upon
the individual purchaser, his bank ac-
count, and the service required of the
car. The average selling price of the
900 cars to be built In 1919 will be

The automobile truck is developing
great popularity in Birmingham. 1t was
ONLY few months ago that the first one
was put in use here, despite the fact that
other cities had been using them for two
or three years. The advent Of the horse
less wagons into Birmingham, however
found instant favor and local dealers have
already disposed of quite few. while
there are a number of orders in for
others.
For a concern having a large amount
of hauling the auto truck is indeed a
great convenience. Not only does It eXpe-
dite matters in the way of quick trans
portation, but the actual cost when tax
ing all matters into consideration, is
claimed to be even less than the opera
1ion of horse-drawn trucks.
Concerns using the auto trucks state
that with an auto they can do from two
10 three times as much as they did for
merly Some of the department stores
are using light auto delivery wagons and
the men in charge OF the delivery depart
ments state that the way they facilitate
matters is really remarkable.
within a year Birmingham will be full
of the auto trucks, and wise dealers
should do handsome, business. The
eity's investment in automobile FIRE en-
gines has done good for the auto truck.

year the south is prospecting as the re-
