Columbia Sport
Has "New" Color

Amidst the riot OF color which has dis
tnguished the automobile shows during
the past few years It has been rare, in
deed, to find a really new body color.
This has been achieved however, on
the Special Columbia Six Sport Mode
which is being exhibited at the show this
week
The car Is finished with n mottled effect
that looks for all tho world like a hand
some piece of polished granite.
In addition TO being an extremely beauti-
full finish and having a distinction and
newness about 1t. which will cause people
to stop on the street and look at It, it also
has another characteristic which is rarely
found in a radical finish
1t does not become tircsome. as Is Sc
often the case with the more striking
color effects.

OF the special sport models have been fin

and I'm this distribution the so-cahed 'shor'
haul constitutes the bulk of the trans

haul at each end.
This short haul is the problem TO which
the motor truck is the only known key.

that il costs more TO deliver the average

The Necessity of
Using Adaptable
Truck Units
BY SIDNEY u. BOWMAN,
New York IkisseI distributor.

"Experience has proven that motor
truck TO be operated economically and effi-
ciently must first fit the purpose for
which IL is to be used and that fleet units
of the same make should be employed.
"a misfit truck means not only high
upkeep but an investment that will prove
a liability, because either too much
ability viii be expected or too little ser
vice will be realized. In the first In
stance, the overload with produce prcna-
ture depreciation and big repair expense;
in the second instance. you will be paying
for excess capacity not utilized.
by purchasing truck units Of proper
size and capacity for your transportation
requirements the following advantages
will result;-Lowest cost per ton mile,
low gasoline and oil consumption. mini
mum wear on tires, maximum power at
minimum expense, most efficient opera
tion of all fixed or moving units, mini
mized wear and depreciation. big saving
in time and labor, elimination Of breaks
or overstrain. lowest service expense. and
small capital invested for parts stock"
