CHECKS GOOD
FOR AUTO WORK
Indiana Carburetor- Brake
Service Station Will
Help Patrons.

AS an expression of confidence
and faith in Indianapolis banking
institutions, E, w. Pummill, man
ager of the Indiana Carburetor and
Brake Service station, will accept
payment for service work by check
during the period of 5 per cent
withdrawal limitation is in effect.
Realizing that many motorists
may neglect needed brake adjust
ments or carburetor repair because
their funds temporarily are frozen,
Pummill is offering this opportunity
to his thousands of customers, as
well as all others who come to his
establishment
For the last several years the In
diana Carburetor and Brake station
has represented the BendiX Brake
Corporation for this territory, as
we'll as the Stromberg carburetor
concern.
One of the many features char
acteristic of the firm is installation
or replacement of Bendix brake
shoes on all refined Jobs. This fea-
ture is important, inasmuch as the
precise application of the shoe to
the brake drum in stopping equal
ICES the wear and much better serv-
ice from the lining can be expected.
The Indiana Carburetor and
Brake firm is well equipped with all
latest machinery to do a thorough
brake job in satisfactory manner.

ENvIABLE MARK
SET BY INDIANA
RAILROAD LINE
Total Damage Claims for
Year Are at Record
Low Figure.

With hundreds of thousands of
shipments passing over its roads an
nually, the Indiana Railroad Sys-
tenn, records show, that during 1882
the total damage claims amounted
to only 2 of per cent of the entire
revenue earned and each claim was
settled in record time, according to
w. l.. Snodgrass, general superin-
tendent for the lines.
Figures show that SO per cent of
the claims were settled within two
months, and 80 per cent of damage
settled within thirty days following
complaint.
The promptness with which these
yardstick by which the service ren-
dered by any shipping agency is
gagged, the superintendent declared
in his statement.
Our transportation employees and
agents, who are old, experienced
workers, who accomplished this de-
served praise and commentator, he
continued. The precise manner
in which claim reports were han
died and all correspondence during
the year was largely responsible for
the prompt action we were able to
take. Without the assistance of
long trained, conscientious employees,
and established organization work,
no such record of speed and low
percentage of damage could have
been accomplished.
The prime purpose of this report
and that recently given out on
freight claims is to show that few
shippers suffered any loss during
1882, although millions of parcels
and other shipments were handled.
