LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE
STRONG FOR AUTOMOBILES

When Gimbel Brothers open their
immense department store at Sixth
avenue and Thirty-third street, New
York, they will take a step that is be-
lieved to be uniqu elm the history OF
similar concerns. Not a single horse
will be used for the delivery of goods,
a contract having been placed with the
Studebaker company for seventy cleo
trio delivery wagons and trucks. These
vehicles will make all deliveries to pur-
chasers, as we'll as transport goods to
the store In giving out the news Man
ager C. F. Redden of the automobile
department of the Studebaker New
York branch said:
"This is the first time, we believe,
in the history of merchandising that
large department store concern has
abandoned entirely the use of horses
for their transfer and delivery service.
"The first people to turn with eager
hope to automobile transportation as
a possible economy were the depart
ment store men. Little by little the
automobile proved itself trustworthy
and economical, and now there are few
concerns that do not use them as part
of their delivery service. But until the
present instance there never had been
a large concern that relied on auto
mobiles to the entire exclusion of the
horse"

present to Congressman James R.
Mann a petition signed by several
thousand Chicago motorists urging
favorable action at the earliest pos
sible date upon the federal registration
automobile bill. Congressman Mann Is
chairman of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee which has charge
of this automobile bill. His con-
gressional district is In Chicago, and
the members OF the Chicago Motor
club, Chicago Automobile club, Chicago
Automobile Dealers association and
other leading motorists. who have been
thoroughly aroused over the necessity
of having the bill brought before con-
gress for action at the present session,
have adopted this means to show their
representative how strongly they re-
gard the Importance of this bill.
This petition, which was drawn up
by Mr.. Donald, working in harmony
with the other officers of the club,
and which also has merited the sup
port of the members Of the Chicago
Automobile club after stating that the
bill has for its object the removal of
the barriers so as to provide for free
intercourse between the various states

whereas, the American Automobile
association, a national organization
embracing a membership of more than
thirty thousand influential, tax-paying
citizens, by its legislative board and
in conjunction with representatives
especially appointed in this interest by
the governors of twenty-three states,
is endeavoring to enlist favorable
action of the congress; and
Whereas, a number of eminent
counselors-at-l of national repute
hold the opinion that the regulation
contemplated IS at once reasonable,
Just and constitutional; and
whereas, the many thousands OF
users of motor cars. sustaining new
and great industry, taking rank in
value and volume with the leading
manufacturing interests of this coun-
try and of the world, are unit touch
ing the expediency, necessity and
justice of realizing the inherent privi-
leges and protection asked;
Therefore, the undersigned, citizens
of Chicago, appeal to you, their hon
ored representative, earnestly praying
and petitioning the exercise of the
prerogative of your office as chairman
of the Interstate and foreign commerce
committee, to the end that an early
and favorable report on this measure
be returned to the house of representa-
tives."

revelation in local motoring circles.

never stopping or refusing to respond
to the slightest coaxing; and all the
time riding with that easy, rhythmic
motion that shows the perfect bal

AUTOCAR AGENTS ALLOW
OWNERS SALES CREDIT

The M. S. Bulkley company South
ern California agents for the autocar,
has inaugurated a sales campaign that
has all the earmarkS of success. In
stead of establishing numerous sub
agencies this company is utilizing the
boosts" of the hordes of autocar own
ers to the advantage of all concerned.
Their plan, briefly, is as follows: They
keep every 1910 autocar in repair alb
solutely without charge, with the eX-
ception of tires and batteries, for a
period of one year from the time Of
sale. They further allow to every auto
car owner who is instrumental, through
his enthusiasm over his machine, in
sending in a new customer a credit
500 for cash purchaser, from which is
deducted the actual cost of repairing
that may have to be done. At any
time desired these credits may be
used toward purchasing new auto
car, the old one being turned in on
the purchase price if desired Ger
tainy fair, square and dignif1ed plan
that every autocar owner and booster
will be glad to embrace.
