Comparison with the motor truck

IN the great centres of commerce the
tendency toward motor truck daily
grows stronger. Actual tests have
demonstrated what possibilities OF

NEXT TO MARRYING
Some Peculiar Ideas of Auto

Cars and Equipment

II has been said that next to getting
married and buying a home the most
important thing the average man does
these days is to buy an automobile,
The purchase OF an automobile repre-
sents a large initial outlay for many
men, and is an event OF tremendous
importance to them. But others, who
get what they want. when they want
it, and do not consider the cost very
seriously, regard the whole affair from
an entirely different angle.
One man who purchased limousine
Insisted upon having two speedome-
ters-One for the chauffeur on the in
strument board, and one for himself
inside the body, where he would keen
his eagle eye on il. And that was not
all. for within easy reach there was
also a button which sounded the warn
ing signal. IL was generally predict
ed at the time that the old gentleman
wouldn't keep a chauffeur very long
II he insisted upon sounding his pri-
vate signal every time he suspected
there was danger. Sure enough, such
was the case.
Then there was the man who bought
R chassis. He wanted a body that
would gracefully carry much prizet

expensive body built arouRd t. H'
said he could not bear to part with the
trunk. which he had used on another
car for over a year.
Another customer telephoned to g
King dealer this order:
"If you can have an eight-cylindei
King at my door tomorrow morning a
10 o'clock fully equipped and provided
with a chauffeur, ] will buy It,"
The car was ready and the checl

ed the first note of opposition to the

he objected to the bill because it meant

federal regulation should not begin
until production is complete. The
south, he said, is not ready for the

necessary capital, and because of less
skilled labor and adverse freight rates.

two strangers knocked Hall down and
were in the act of searching fox val

other man frightened them off.
Hall went to the police station and
told of the incident. He furnished de-
