COULD SAVE MONEY
BY USING MOTORS

In tho city OF Chicago 100000. 900
doliars Is spent annually TO haul mer-
chandise through the streets. This is
charge of go year for hauling
against every person who lives In the
city. The hauling is now done by
10000 horse-drawn vehicles and 1000
motor trucks. II 10000 TO 10000 motor
vehicles were used they could do the
work at reduction I'm expense OF from

These figures, compiled by the au-

To $le year per person. and from s35
TO $50 per year per family, according
TO these snme reliable figures Every
body knows that the cost of distribu-
ton is large part Of the cost OF retail
products. There IS no Indication that
any reduction In freight rates can be
expected from the railroads--they have
been forced to ask for higher rates
But whereas an investigation by
the Department of Agriculture In 1906
showed that II costs the average farm

average ton-miie cost OF operat ting mo-
tor trucks is II l-2 cents. In cities

cents by motor The difference In the
cost OF delivering individual parcels Is
shown In several businesses to be 8
cents by motor truck and 16 cents by
horses
I'm addition to these direct savings,
the figures bring out the fact that an
area as large az Ohio. Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa is required every year to
grow hay and grain to feed to the

used for transportation purposes. They
