IMPROVEMENT
IN COMMERCIAL CARS
Changes Effected in 1910 Models Tend to Strengthen
Machinery and Impart Longevity Under
Stress of Hard Service

To the general public the gasoIene
commercial cars Of today are pretty
much the same as last year. but there
IS a vast Improvement in details that
can be discovered easily by close obser-
walton.
On these details depends TO a large
degree the success or failure Of a car
from standpoint Of reliability and
economy. Up to a year OF so the com

The best engineers have contended that
the first thing to be considered IN de-

fercHt vital parts 10 one another that
within a few minutes any part could be
taken away within disturbance, and
that until this was done, without sacri-
hciuE strength or adding weight. the
design was not correct
For example, suppose IN the past a
