Automobile Has Been
A Boon to Statesmen
Trolley Jumps and One-Train.
a-Day Towns Elimi-
mated

To eliminate expensive selling meth
DDS many wholesale houses have
equipped their sales forces with light
delivery cars, with the result that their
representatives have been able to
triple the number of towns visited,
carrying their samples with them.
This growing practice bids fair to
alleviate to a great extent the troubles
of the travelling salesman. Isolated
towns and once-a- day railway trains
have made many salesman throw up
his hands in disgust and desert his
profession for fields less wearisome
and nerve wrecking. Not only did
such railway facilities tend to reduce
the ranks Of the travelling statesmen,
but they were responsible for an in
creased selling cost Of drygoods, shoes,
groceries, hardware, hats and similar
staples.
Using the railroads, the salesman
was able to make but one town q day,
whore several hours were sufficient to
call on the trade. The remaining hours
the result. that weekly hotel bills and
expense accounts scared.
But the development Of the motor
car, and particularly the light COM
mercial car, is rapidly doing away
with these old fashioned methods of
wholesale selling. An interesting
sample Of the successful use of such
a car is that Of B. A. Rives, shoe
salesman in Southeastern Alabama
In August, 1918, Mr.. Rives bought
Dodge Bros. business car and aband-
oned the Southern railroads as a means
of covering his territory Since that
day the car has been in continual use,
carrying the salesman, driver and a
bulky 700 pounds of samples. To the
Dodge Bros. dealer from whom the
car was purchased, Mr.. Rives wrote:
II find that l can make nearly three
times as many towns in week as |
formerly could by railroad and the
weekly expense is no greater. The
pulling qualities of your business car
cannot be excelled, and the upkeep for
the time that l have had it has been
too little to count. The pleasure of
not having to wait for trains would
overbalance the entire expense of the
car. Refer any of the boys on the
road to me if they have heavy load
and want to 60 along without any
trouble"

Pneumatic Tires Effect
Big Savings With Trucks
Actual Compared Results of Tests Made With Solid
Tires and Other Types Show 1213 Per Cent
Economy in Favor of Air-Filled Castings

A proved saving of 1917 per cent in
gas and oil for trucks with pneumatic
equipment, as against solid tires. is
announced by Firestone factory engi-
neers, according to f. P. Jones, local
Firestone branch manager. Two trucks,
one with giant pneumatic equipment
and the other with solid rubber tires,
were operated over distance Of $500
miles, under the same conditions, in
making the test on which the state
ment is based. The trucks were Of the
same make and capacity, with equal
loads.
"Gasolene and oil expense is, Of
course, variable item" SAYS Mr..
Jones. at is difficult to estimate be-
cause of local conditions, grades and
curves in the road over which a truck
is operated For instance, truck
equipped with pneumatic tires will
show a 25 per cent saving over solids
in gas and oil consumption when on
level roads and coasting on down
grades.
ION the other hand, trucks changed
over from solid to pneumatic tires
will have from 10 to Is per cent. less
power on hills-due to larger wheel
diameter, unless the gear ratio is
changed, and hence will consume more
gasoline on up grades: but the greater
diameter of wheels makes it possible
to run at greater speed without in
creasing the engine speed. Gear ratio
may be changed at nominal cost, but
the change is not necessary in order
to DO satisfactory work
These varying conditions were met
IN the $500 mile test have referred
to: 1t strikes an average for gas and
oil saving, giving persons interested in
operation figures ton mile some food
for thought
"Ihey should figure this saving in
conjunction with other remarkable
savings possible through pneumatic
equipment. Due to greater protection
40 per cent, and the life of the truck
VIII be doubled. Operating radius in
creases. One truck has been known to
90 the work of two formerly operated
on solid tires.
by its use the saving in ton mile
cost OF operation will quickly offset
the greater initial cost of pneumatic
equipment
