Wins Show Lowest
Operating Cost

Big corporations are the pioneers
in efficiency methods-money saving
methods. Therefore, the experience
of the New York Telephone Comp
any with its transportation service
and costs form an interesting eX-
position of what may be done with
the right sort of motor truck equip
ment.
The company maintains a special
department to supervise the trans
portation service, to make inspec-
tions and to figure operating costs
of the various cars. Its reports
therefore, are based not upon gu~Rs
but upon authentic information.
rhe Commercial Car Journal
publishes some interesting figures
concerning the operating cost of 1872
of the telephone company's trucks
embracing sixteen G6) different
makes. These cars range from con-
verted pleasure cars to heavy trucks
of ten thousand pounds capacity.
1t is interesting to note that the
Vim one thousand pound truck
shows the lowest cost of operation
for all classes and makes of trucks
used by the telephone company.
For gas, oil, tires and repairs it
cost an average of only six and a
half (615) cents per mile each to
operate ten VIM trucks against

Efficiency and Need of
Motor Car Seen Everywhere

1.-THE great war has caused the
public to scrutinize carefully the re-
lation of every manufactured ar
ticle to the efficient conduct of bust
ness" says an official of the bort
Motor Car Company.
From this test, the automobile
has emerged triumphant. Proof is
in fact overwhelming that passenger
cars not only bring necessary relief
to that traffic congestion which is
so vexing problem to all commun-
tiles, but serves to make individual
effort more effective.
Through the increase in mileage
of good roads, all classes of business
find their operating zones widened.
For the manufacturing and jobbing
houses, thousands of cars traverse
the interurban highways. unbound
by infiexible railroad time tables
and thus covering many times more
ground than would otherwise be
possible.
Men who have a number of daily
calls to make, notably, physicians,
credit the automobile as an 1ndiS-
pensable factor in their prosperity.
THE farmer, conservative and
slow to make up his mind. long ago
decided that the passenger car has
multiplied his opportunities by
bringing him closer both to his sell
ing and purchasing markets, in ad-
dition to making life happier for
tho members of his household.
AS a public carrier, the auto
mobile has made great strides and
has even greater strides ahead of it.
1t must more and more be relied
upon as the logical means for short
hauls.
"The cry of today is for man
power, not only to subdue the Hun,
but to effectively back our boys in
France with telling support behind
the lines.
"The automobile has emancipated
millions. 1t has made it possible
for city people to live in the remote
suburbs and thus enjoy the pure,
clean. air of the open country. 1t
has. furthered health and ambition,
thus making life better worth the
living. 1t has quickened movement,
thus promoting accomplishment"

New Hupmobile Slogan
Is "The Comfort Car

The trend of events in the past
year or more has been leading to
slogans and nick-names for popular
persons, places and various articles
of every day use. In the choice of
certain nickname or slogan, real
meaning is conveyed such as in the
case of calling our boys in khaki
"Sammies"; the British 'Tommies"
and so on. The meaning back of
those names is expressive.
Branching off from persons, we
come to place. Expressive of slo-
gans or nick-names for those places
that have attracted wide spread in
terest and attention are such as
over There; mo Mans Land" etc.
Coming down to things" we find
such names as Tank, expressive
of the death dealing apparatus used
in trench warfare and the meaning
behind the name. So in new series
r. Hupmobile named "The Com
fort Car" by the Hupmobile factory,
and conveys multitude of meaning.
The long slender grace of this
new Hupmobile. combined wit.N a
long wheel base, well balanced
motion. heavy upholstered seats, lots
of room and many other features
make this name appropriate.
To those who know the series
IN" Hupmobile and appreciate it's
luxurious riding and driving COM
forts, the superbness of the new
series "R" can well be demonstrated
when it is claimed that it far out
distances even the "N".
For the comfort of the driver the
shifting gear lever is so placed that
the large knob on the end comes
right where the right hand drops
when leaving the steering wheel.
There is no cropping around for this
lever or necessity for reaching out
to grasp it; it is right where your
hand comes. The clutch and brake
pedals are adjustable so that they
can be made the right length and
cause no discomfort in cramped legs
or in Having to stretch to reach
them. In the back seat comfort
stares you in the face in the form OF
a large roomy seat, heavily uphol-
stored with extra heavy cushions.
There is ample room for leg space,
causing no crowded condition. Taken

Dependability, one of the most
important requirements of motor
trucks for overland haulage of
freight, was conclusively demon
strated to be a feature of the Du-
plex, recently, when one of the four
wheel drive trucks made a trip from
the Duplex company's factory in
Lansing to Pittsburgh in sixty hours
actual running time.
So successful was the trip from
every standpoint that regular trips
are to be made from the Michigan
capital to the eastern city.
: In order that accurate informa-
ton might be obtained and the
practicability of the Duplex for
overland haulage work determined,
the driver of the truck make a care
full record of the trip.
The total mileage was 391 and the
total number of gallons of gasoline
used was fifty-nine, or six and three
fifths miles per gallon. Five quarts
of oil and one pint of water were re-
quired for the trip.
The truck left Lansing at o'clock
on a Monday afternoon and arrived
in Pittsburgh the following Friday
morning at 2 o'clock.
The total cost of operation, in
Guiding drivers wages and expenses,
cost of gasoline and oil. and includ-
ing depreciation, tires, insurance
and maintenance, was $56.11.
The railroad freight rate between
Lansing and Pittsburgh on 1000
pounds, the trucks capacity, is
$41.S0, or $14.S1 less than the cost
of transporting three and one-half
tons of merchandise by Duplex
truck.
However, the Duplex hauled it's
load of merchandise direct from the
manufacturers factory in Lansing
to the business house of the pur-
chaser in Pittsburgh. thus saving a
cartagc charge at both ends that
would total several dollars.
"The 391-milc trip was made with
out accidents or mechanical trou-
BILE of any kind" said President II.
NJ. Lee of the Duplex Truck Com
pany. "The only delay occurred
when the Duplex was held up four
and one-half hours by other trucks
that were stuck in the mud between
Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
1T was clearly demonstrated that
the Duplex is absolutely dependable
for overland transportation OF
freight and can successfully compete
with the railroads on a basis of time
of delivery as we'll as economy. The
trip was truly a remarkable per-
formance when it is considered that
the truck left Lansing in a regular
Michigan blizzard and hauled it's
! load through eastern Ohio roads,
! hub deep with mud.
"The freight was delivered in
Pittsburgh three and one-half days
after it left Lansing-several davs
In advance of the freight traffic
schedule of railroads. This is a most
J important consideration with man
ufa ufacturers-and many times a saw
ing in time of twenty-four or forty
eight hours is worth more than the
actual freight rate"

Peerless Passenger Cars
Hauled on Peerless Trucks

Passenger cars can be hauled in less
time on Peerless trucks than con-
sumed by express shipments and at
the same cost as by freight. This was
demonstrated by the Peerless Motor
Car Company, of Cleveland. when they
sent ship of passenger cars from
Cleveland to Baltimore on Peerless
trucks.
These passenger cars were Grated,
mounted on the truck body and arriv-
ed at their destination without hitch
or a scratch.
The cars were consigned to the Zell
Motor Car Company. of Baltimore,
who wired the plant expressing their
satisfaction on this ingenious method
of shipment.
This accomplishment establishes
the practicability of long hauls and
heavy shipments with the motor
trucks. 1t also proves the. economy
of this method of transporting all
kinds of commodities by this means.
Based upon the success of this
shipment, the Peerless Company will
handle many others in the same way
Twenty cars and trucks will soon
start to New York and Philadelphia.
The idea of transporting motorcars
in this fashion was originated by a.
S. Zell, president of the Zell Motor
Car Company of Baltimore, for many
years distributor for Peerless cars
and trucks.

80 Per Cent. of Autos
Devoted to Business

The salesman is finding the auto
mobile one of the greatest assets in
covering more ground in less time.
In this connection John n. WHY'S,
president of WHY'S Overland, Inc,
tells in an article, entitled The
Time Maker" in Golfers of some
of the valuable uses to which sales
men are putting this modern trans
portation means.
Look at the cars used by travel
ing statesmen. 1 asked one of the
greatest and most important food
concerns in America to tell me what
the passenger car means to them in
the efficiency of their business. Their
answer is important because it is
typical of the saving in time, rail-
road facilities, and man power that
the automobile is the equivalent of
ten to twenty per cent. in extra man
power"
Another group of men in town
use automobiles. They are mer-
chants, clerks and men who work in
factories and shops. Watch the man
you know in these groups. You'll
find the merchant using his car for
a dozen business errands a day. He
is doubling up most likely, and get
ting along with one less clerk as
part of his bit The clerk or fac
tory man is hurrying home to his
war garden, or he belongs to a COM
mittee for raising funds for one of
the countless patriotic requirements
of the day. Or maybe he is one of
those few who simply use a car to
carry him to a less expensive home
with a big saving in time and
energy. Wherever he is, you will ar
rive at the astonishing fact that the
myriad of automobiles which are
upon our streets devote between
eighty and ninety per cent. of their
mileage to the strict business of saw
ing time"

Special Motor Cars
For Busy War Workers

A taxicab company or Washington,
d. c., has just put into operation a
fleet of special Dodge Brothers town
cars and taxicabs, which are being
used almost exclusively by members
of the Army and Navy Club.
The need for a high grade type of
motorcar for rental purposes has
become increasingly apparent as the
number of Washington transients
grew with the progress of the nation
al war work. The cars were designed
to be the equal, in appearance and
in comfort, of those which officials
and others use at their homes.
Both town cars and taXicab
bodies were designed by Dodge
Brothers dealers at New York, and
are mounted on the standard chassis.
A great many such cars are in the
service of private owners and taxi
companies in New York

rs the estimate of army officers in
touch with the mastering out process.
In round numbers, it is calculated
that $4,000 a day will be the figure
from December / until January /,
and that after the latter date the rate
will probably be about 5000 a day.
Gen. March went to Camp Dix the
other day to give instructions which,
it is understood, will expedite the
mastering out with due regard for
the preparation and forwarding to
the adjutant generals Office at Wash
ington of the personal records of
each soldier.
has been announced that about
$500 have been designated for re-
turn by Gen. Pershing, but it is not
unlikely that the next announcements
will give the names of many other
divisions to be returned. At the
present time there are on the way
over not only the 10000 aero troops
released from training duty in Eng
land, but steady stream of the sick
and the wounded from France and
England able to make the coyage.
Officers think that by spring the
whole national army except those
needed for police duty in Europe will
have disappeared. AS the men will
be entitled to wear their uniforms
only about three months after dis
charge, the uniformed soldier will
also have disappeared by April 1st.
There will probably be many enlist
ments in the regulars, who will be
reassembled into an army as big as
congress will stand.
The 10000 American troops now
on the seas trying to beat the arrival
in this country of Thanksgiving day
left British ports on November 19
and may make it.
1t was stated last night that they
are the aero squadrons mentioned by
numbers yesterday by General March.
They have been in training in Eng
lish flying fields, and had nearly COM
pleted their course. They were to be
sent over to man the next shipment
of fighting planes from the United
States.
Staff officers believe that they will,
of course, be landed at New York,
and will go to the Mineola camp,
where they will be mustered out in
as short order as possible. The
squadrons are composed of individ-
uals from all parts Of the United
States.
