The military organization would in

that would leave gas cars and gaso-

The user of an electric truck, de-
livery wagon or passenger car is prac-
ticing double economy-once for him
self and once for his country. He is
spending less money for his trans
portation needs; he is taking nothing
away from national service.
Into any consideration OF passenger
cars the chauffeur question enters.
Few users of electrics employ chauf-
feurs, because the extreme simplicity
of the car and its east of control
eliminates their usefulness. Even
families with a stable of cars and
one or more chauffeurs do not call
for their services when the electric
is taken out.
A great many chauffeurs are young
men OF military age who at times
like these should be in national serv-
ice, not in personal service. The use
of electric passenger cars releases the
chauffeurs for more important func-
tlons.
Business men who desire to help
