TRUCK TO COLLECT
BANK DEPOSITS
Burglar Proof Portable Vault
Afforded in Philadelphia by
Clever Use, Of Motor
Transportation.

Many = business man has hurried
home late at night with one hand
firmly gripped around laxge wallet
of grcenbacks in one pocket and his
finger on the trigger of six-shooter
in another, merely because he was
unable to deposit the money in bank
during banking hours and there was
no convenient place for him a safe
guard it until the following day.
Through the enterprise of promi-
nent Philadelphia taxicab company
this same gentleman; If he is resi-
dent Of the Quaker City, can now have
a burglar-proof portable savings bank
call at his Office OF any other part Of
the city where he may happen to be.
place his funds in steel safe and for
get all about them until the bank
opens its doors the next morning.
The portable savings bank is moth
ing more than an elaborately fur
nished Office mounted on a White
three-quarter ton truck chassis. 1t
has been used to great advantage by
contractors, railways, paymasters. saw
ing banks, theaters, lodges, churches.
clubs, societies ana others who wished
to provide safekeeping for large sums
of money collected late at night and
outside of regular banking hours. The
cost of this service is very economical,
being only double that of the regular
taxi rates.
In most cases the money is passed
through a heavily barred receiving
window on the rear platform of the
truck to an attendant who sits at
mahogany desk just inside. After it
has been counted and checked it is
transferred to large steel safe which
can be opened by knowing the com
bination. The desk where the at
tendant sits has several large drawers
and special Compartments for filing
records and other business papers.
The deeply upholstered chair would
arouse the envy of many bank presi-
dents.
The truck is brilliantly lighted at |
night by several large electric lights
and has other convenienccs such as an |
electric fan for hot summer days and |
a special heater connected with the ex-
haust of the truck engine, which keeps
the attendant and his assistants warm |
in winter weather. A speaking tube
is provided for communicating with |
the driver.
The truck has attracted considerable |
attention on the streets of Philadel-
phia and is believed to be positive in
surance against bandits and highway
men.

Battery Troubles Are

Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska

accessory, and yet is very often me-
elected. Although it is complicated
apparatus and depends upon chemical
action and reaction for its usefulness.

More than thousand Of our en-
