Prove
Motor Trucks Are
Big Money Savers

A. B. Gunner, of the Federal Motor
Truck Company. has been carefully
compiling figures on the cost OF opera
ton OF trucks in comparison with the
use Of horses, and finds that the truck
is much cheaper. and, in addition, gives
service which can not be secured from
the horse drawn vehicle.
No effort was made to find ideal con-
ditions In the running of the trucks,
but the figures were asked for from a
number Of users Of Federal trucks, and
the averages made from these reports
In the, same way the horse figures
we're secured from a number OF users
Of teams and a general average taken.
Summed up, II is found that the av-
erage cost of a two-horse OUTFIT Is
Sl,005 and the yearly total cost, includ-
ing interest on investment, deprecia-
ton. upkeep, driver and all fixed
charges, is 1851 SO. Two single
the total being S2,373SS II Is custom
airy to count in each case on an
emergency horse costing for yearly
maintenance 1926 80,
On the other hand, while tho initial
cost of a Federal truck, with standard
style body, is 81, $50 and the total cost
Of maintenance is 81 .S39.17, this is based
on an average daily run OF 30 miles. In
Turing on horse drawn trucks, Is
miles per day is the average of q two
horse truck and 20 to 20 for the single
trucks
Many motor trucks, however, average
more than 30 miles per day, some OF
them going so miles The lpkeep Is. OF
course, greater, but the efficiency and
service are in greater ratio than the
increased cost, and the total Is still less
than the cost of two single horse trucks
ing of the greater territory covered by
the motor trucks.

Young Financier Leaves Automo-
bile Game for Private Banking.
Sketch of His Career.

The advice Of one who has made a
big success in life before reaching 80
is worth hearing. He is Lindsey
Hopkins, and men will read what he
says about getting on in business for
the same reason that women will read
what Dorothy Dix and Beatrice Fair
fax say in their articles on how to
be beautiful" Lindsey and the 9TH
ers are alike in one respectfully
have made good in their own lines
Nearly every ambitious young man
wants to get rich.
What follows will tell you how one
young man has gathered a bunch of
coin that runs to seven figures. Stop
reading if you are looking for an
easy thing" What Mr.. Hopkins has
to say will be highly disconcerting to
the man who believes there is some
magic secret of success"
Mr.. Hopkins Philosophy.
Lindsey Hopkins began working as
a farm boy twenty years ago, with
out cent of capital, and Saturday. at
"a years of age, he voluntarily retired
from the presidency of one of the
largest auto sales concerns in the
South, with fortune that makes him
practically a millionaire.

three years. and was the best devil"
they ever had.
It was not until IS that he actually
got into business, becoming a travel
ing salesman for the Atlantic Rein
ing Company, and became known
throughout the South He acquired
knowledge of the business so rapidly
that he was made the companys spe-
cial representative in Europe, where
he established a London Office for his
concern in 1904. He also established
sales branches throughout the Lrop-
les.
He was one OF the first men to
demonstrate the possibilities of the
auto in cross country touring. In
1905, when such a thing as an inter
state auto trip was unheard of, Lind
sey Hopkins started from Atlanta in
a "one lung Cadillac" and successful
ly reached Greensboro. n. c.. after a
sensational trip. The achievement
made auto history, and has been cele-
brated through the Carolinas by Col
onel AL Fairbrothers' Ride OF Paul

In 1906, through a special conces-
sion from the Atlantic Refining Com
pany, Mr.. Hopkins became agent for

His success in selling autos was so
phenomenal that in 1908 he turned
down a salary of $4,000 a year and
made his first contract with the Over
land manufacturers. which called for
the sale of so cars during the season
of 190S-09. That was considered a
big contract in those days but the
book of sales records shows that this
same hustler since that time sold 1912
automobiles in the Southeastern ter
ritory, involving a net cash transac-
ton OF over 100000.
Incidentally, he has probably sold
his last car, for Mr.. Hopkins is vol

presidency Of the Overland Southern
Motor Car Company to hang out his
shingle as private banker and tran
