FORD TRUCKS
HAVE SCREEN
SIDES
New HauIage Unit Is Proving
Popular Throughout
Country, Is Claim.

Screen sides and canopy top are
now being supplied by the Ford
Motor Company as additional equip
ment for the new Ford one-tOn
truck equipped with all-steel body
and cab.
Since it's introduction, a few
months ago, the new Ford haulage
unit has steadily gained in popu.
larity among truck users through
out the country. With the addt-
ton of screen sides and canopy
top, its utility is greatly extended
and the uses to which 1t may be
adapted become wider than ever,
including most every delivery serv.
ice demand.
BOlted to Cab.
The screen sides, which are of
heavy mesh in strong frames, are
securely bolted to the cab and body.
The top is covered with weather
proof material, similar material be.
mig used for side and end curtains
which are rolled up and held in
place by straps when not in use.
The end doors form a feature
which appeals to many for they
permit complete Enclosure and pro-
lection of the load. The doors are
swung on sturdy hinges and are
held closed with a double locking
device which may be padlocked.
With the screen sides and top
the truck has a loading space of
approximately ia cubic feet. The
body is four feet wide, seven feet
two inches long, and has a loading
height OF four feet.
Found Economical.
Truck users everywhere are rap
idly turning to the use of the one
ton trucks as the most economi.
cal and efficient. The new eouip-
ment now available with the Ford
truck provides not only a complete
haulage unit, but also gives the
truck user several body combina-
tons to choose from rdnd permits
him to make selections which are
best suited to his particular re.
quirements.

Operation of Auto
Estimated at Seven
Cents a Mile

Government budget experts
have just made their estimate
as to the cost of operation of
an automobile on a mileage
basis.
In preparing the annual bud
get, the Government statisti-
clans have figured original
cost, depreciation, gasoline,
tires, ETC., and report that
the cost per mile for motor
cars is z cents and for motor
cycles 8 cents.
Allowance is made for GER
tain conditions, such as noun
famous regions and poor roads,
but while the figure may be
high in some localities and low
in others, the experts state that
the 7-cent figure is adequate
and fair, and it has been ac-
copied by the budget commit
tee in figuring estimates.
