THE MOTOR TRUCK
A MONEY SAVER

Efficiency of Service and
Attracts Trade.

BIZ President R. c. smith. q the Overland Wash
frrtm Motor Compauy.
That merchants and manufacturers in
al lines are alive TO the value OF the
motor truck is evident to All who get
a broad view Of the situation all over
the world. The progressive business man
Of to-day avails himself Of every mod
ern device for doing things economically
which at the same time is always q saver
OF time and labor. Past-century methods
in this age OF progression are an impedt-
ment.

would become easier converts TO the use
OF motor trucks. All must concede that
stable equipment must be maintained.
whether business is active or dull and
the horse out Of use is jest as expensive
as the horse that Is giving fun service.
Compare this with the economy Of the
motor vehicle, which needs neither fuel
nor OIL except when in service, and
which requires but little stable room and
attention when not in use. This Is the
most forcible, and will In all probability
be the decisive. feature in inducing mer-
chants 10 abandon past-century methods

with individual business requirements;
but speaking in general terms, II may
be said that a power wagon kept in con-
slant service will cut delivery cost from
20 per cent upward. The cost Of trans
portation can be determined just as logi-
cslly as the cost OF operating any other
machine. It is merely a. question Of
measuring the work required and meas
uring the cost. and placing one against
the other. In other words, you pay only
for measured service.
Delivery in large cities is becoming more
and more dificult, owing TO the enor-
nous territory to be covered, especially
where a large and successful trade is
to be established and maintained. The
range OF delivery service has gradually
become extended. until the horse is in
capable OF covering the necessary dis
tances during the day, and when used is
practically unfit for service the following
day whenever extended routes are at
tempted. With motor trucks these long
routes are easily covered with dispatch,

Col. Roosevelt was apparently In

a hearty laugh when he was greeted
by cries of "Hurrah for Teddy" when

He received these Interruptions good

he wished to make the most OF the

Sorhmors was growing uneasy.
There were two ladies waiting
who never would permit anyone
butcher to wait upon them, and
they always made extensive pur-
chaSes.
With deft fingers the girl be-
gan to get the counter cleared,
when she was interrupted:
Don't put any of that away
until I decide. My goodness!
Fifty cents yard? Who would
think it? Show me some of the

and the now weary girl pulled
out ruching varying from five to
fifteen cents.

From what you said thought
these others would suit you bet
ter" the words were mild, but the
girls lips were trembling. The.
customer gave her Is cents, but
objected when the change came
back that the dime was too
smooth.
To save time Miss Sommors
said, quietly:
"Our cashier never makes a
mistake, so I'll take it and give
you two nickels for il"
Barely had she done so, when
the floorwalker came to her and
severely reprimanded her for do
ing so.
What kind of discipline can
we maintain, Miss Sommors?" he
asked at last, eff clerks are allow
ed to exchange money over the
counter with customers? ?" and
knowing that she was in the
wrong, in accordance to the rules
of the store, Miss Sommors kept
quiet, although she was nervous
enough to cry.
"What counterr fell upon
her ears! "who has disturbed
stock this way?" twas the voice
of the buyer. "You, Miss Som
mors? This won't do. Keep
your stock looking good while
selling is motto you clerks will
do well to remember" and with
hands crossed behind his back,
the fat man departed.
''Never mind. dearie" Miss
