White 3-4-Ton Is Used by Phila
delphia Co. to Collect De
v posits After Hours, *
Many a business man has hurried
home late at night with one hand
firmly gripped around a large wallet
of greenbacks in one pocket and his
finger on the trigger of a six-shooter
in another,. merely because he was
unable to deposit the money in a
bank during banking hours, and there
was no convenient place for him to
safeguard it until the following day.
Through the enterprise of a prom-
Inent Philadelphia taxicab company
this same gentleman, if he is a resi
dent of the Quaker City, can now
have a burglar-proof portable sav
ings bank call at his office or any
other part of the city where he may
happen to be, place his funds in a
steel safe and forget all about them
until the bank opens its doors the
next morning.
The portable savings bank is noth
ing more than an elaborately furnish
ed office mounted on a -White three
quarter ton truck chassis. It has
been used to great advantage by con
tractors, railways, paymasters, sav
ings banks, theaters, lodges, churches,
clubs, socleties and others who wished
to provide safe-keeping for large
sums of money collected late at night
and outside of regular banking hours.
The cost of this service is very eco
nomical, being only double that of the
regular taxi rates.
In most cases the money is passed
through a heavily barred receiving
window on the rear platform of the
truck to an attendant who sits at a
mahogany desk just inside. After it
has been counted and checked it is
transferred to a large steel safe,
which can be opened only by know
ing the combindtion. The desk where
the aitendgnt sits has several large
drawers and special compartments
for flling records and other business
papers. The deeply upholstered chair
would arouse the envy of many bank
presidents.
Teh truck is drilliantly lighted at
night by several large electric lights,
and has other conveniences such as
an electric fan for hot summer days
and a special heater connected with
the exhaust of the truck engine
which keeps the attendant and his
assistants warm in winter weather,
A speaking tube is provided for com
municating with the driver.

Manuafucturers of truck-forming at
tachments and their dealers will be in
terested in the late ruling of the Treas
ury Department in which they say that
form-a-trueke.attachments are noc tax
able when sold by themselves, when
purchased by a consumer who converts
an automobile or chassis on which tax
has been paid.
Where the Tax Applies—\Where a new
untax-paid chassis and a form-a-truck
attachment are used to produce a truck
for sale the tax must be paid on the
sales price of the truck thus sold, but
where a second-hand chassls or a new
tax-pand automchile or chassis {s used
to produce a truck by the addition of
the form-a-truck attachment, the com
pleted vehicle wil be regarded as the re
sult of a mechanical repair or overhaul
ing job and therefore not taxable.

Don't Faston Tow
No one cares to think much about be
ing towed home, but, not to make mat
ters worse, some thought should be
given to the subject. In attaching the
rope which is to be used in the towing,
many drivers fasten it to the axle,
which is wrong. The rope should be
fastened to one of the front portions of
the frame, so that the pull comes on the
chassis. The same thing applies to the
car doing the towing, except that the
rope should be fastened to some part of
the rear frame.

E. W, Van Duzen, Atlanta Colum
' '
bia Dealer, Receives Report of
'
Important Meeting.
As one result of the war, the motor
car's status as a necessity, rather than
a luxury, has been more definitely fixed
than ever before. "The motor car man
ufacturers, personally ana through their
representatives, had a hard time con
vineing certain influential Government
officlals at Washington that the motor
car had become indispensable to hun
dreds of thousands of Americans, but
this fact was finaily established at a
recent series of conferences hetween
manufacturers and Government officlals,
reports of which have been received by
E. W. Van Duzen, Atlanta Columbia
dealer.
.0 Bayerline, president of the Co
lumbia Motors (ompany, was one of a
number of Detroit manufacturers who
participated in the conferences at
Washington, and was largely instrumen
tal in giving the Government officials
a gonder view of the motor car and the
industry it has created.
“We discovered that the opposition of
certain Government officials to the con
tinued manufacture and sale of motor
cars on a large scale was due to a lack
of information concerning the issues in
volved,” said Mr. Bayerline. "We found
some officials unduly alarmed about the
fuel supgly. and, while it must be ad
mitted that gasoline is not as good or
as plentiful as formerly, it nevertheless
remains a fact that many able minds are
making what promise to be successful
efforts to solve the many perplexing
problems that have arisen with refer
ence to gasoline.
“For one thing, we pointed out that
there existe (every reason for believing
that means would shortly be worked out
for increasing the fuel su{»ply. For one
thing, about wtelve million barrels of
gasoline go to waste annually through
evaporation, and we explained that it
would be only a question of time until
this loss wculd be prevented. Further,
we pointed out the constant improve
ments that are being amde by carbure
tor manufacturers, with the result that
greater mileage is being attalned than
ever before from the same grade of fuel,
Methods of motor heat conservation,
particularly through thermostatic control
of mootr temperature, with resultant
fuel economy, were explained. All thee;e
things have been accomplished within
very recent times, which tends to show
that the automobile and allied industries
are capable of meeting any situation
which threatens injury to the business.
“All these new methods of fuel con
servation were new to some of the offi
cials to who mwe talked, and as a re
sult, their opposition to the continued
manufacture of nn_»mvnrs in large
quantities was modified!

=|t Goes Nearly 18 Miles on One
| Gallon of Gasoline in De
l troit Test.
Seventeen and eight-tenths miles on
II gallon of gasoline was the remarkable
[m\r!m'mawu' of & Maxwell 1-ton truck
] This economy demonstration of th
| toaded truck was accomplished in traf
’fln' in Detroit and over rural roads ad
| Jacent to the city
Two features of the economy test were
the driver had never before driven a
truck and the road used did not allow of
any coasting to Increase the mileage.
I An average speed of about 15 miles wan
| maintained.
; The test was officially observed by
i three disinterested persons—W, D,
| denburn, automobile editor of The De.
i troit News and local representative of
| the American Automobile Association;
(. G. Steinhauer, automoblle editor of
The Detrait Journal, and IX. W. Sulli
van, assistant secretary of the Detroit
Automobile Club.
g Before making the run the truck was
;hmd(\d with a Maxwell touring car
welghing 1,970 pounds, the driver
|w:-ighed 210 pounds, and Mr. Sullivan
tips the beams at 200 pounds even. The
lgross weight of truck and load was
15,525 pounds,
A stock truck was used, with one of
|!he famous Maxwell 1-gallon tanks at
| tached. Under the close scrutiny of the
!thrPe observers the gallon tank was
Imua
| The truck and its load went over
l(he city streets and rural highways very
| smoothly. The engines constantly beat
with phenomeral regularity. Therg
never was a hitch to mar the demon
stration.
After the 10-mile mark had been
passed the observers began to enthuse
over the showing the truck was mak
ing. The 11 and 12 mile points were
passed and the Maxwell was moving
along as smoothly as at the start.
Whenever the ocacsion demanded, the
truck responded with alacrity to the use
qu the brakes or speeded up to avoid
getting caught in congested traffic. The
| test was as remarkable in showing the
efficiency of the 1-tom Maxwell as it
lwas in acquiring a wonderful economy
record.
