bald inside OF two years" What can

The man bought IT. And the barber
himself was bald as an egg. Il might
be thought that he would have noticed
the shining dome Of the barber who

concentrated on the crown OF his own

A smooth. easy talking sort Of per-

enough TO pay hotels and livery for a
few days. 1t was all he had. He had
never had much more. A lot Of money
had run thru his hands-money that
other people had earned. But he had
a proposition that beat liberty bonds

baldheaded barber and his own pocket
book as bald as the BARRIERS head. He

MOTOR NEWS

when a man buys a motor truck
he usually buys it for a dual purpose.
He buys 1t to render better service to
customers and to save money. The
paramount purpose is to save money.
In order to save money, 1t must be
kept on the road. for an idle truck
of doing this differs with various
lines of businesses and with local con-
ditions. Take the coal business, for
instance. One concern formerly used
teams to deliver coal, and the team
would stand idle while the driver
shoveled the coal out of the wagon
into the bin. Now, the coal is deliv-
cred, dumped in a few seconds, by
means OF an automatic dump body
and an extra man left to shovel it into
the bin. Meanwhile the driver goes
back after another load, picking the
helper up later.
