White 3-4-Ton Is Used by Phila
delphia Co. to Collect De
posits After Hours.
Many a business man has
home late at night with ongu;r;:;g
!rmly Bripped around a large wallet
= creenbacks in one pocket and his
nger on the trigger of a six-shooter
in another, merely because he was
unable to deposit the money {n a
bank during banking hours, and there
was no convenient place for him to
safeguard it until the following day.
Through the enterprise of & 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 bapk 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 ahout 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 yse to great advantage by con
trattors railways, paymasters, sav-
Ings banis, theaters, lodges, churches,
clubs, societies 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 thé
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
mahagany 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 combination. The desk where
the aifendgnt sits has several large
drawers and speclal compartments
for flliing recqrds and other business
papers. The deeply upholstered chair
would arouse the envy of many bank
presidents.
Teh truck is brilliantly lighted at
night by several large electric lights,
dnd 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
essistants warm in winter weather,
A_speaking tube is provided for com
municating with the driver.

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.

. .
bia Dealer, Receives Report of
Important Meeting.
As one result of the war, the motor
car's status as a necessity, rather than
& luxury, has been more definitely fixed
than ever before. The motor .car man
ufacturers, personally ana through their
representatives, had a hard time con
vlnclnf certain influential Government
officlals at Washington that the motor
car had become indispensable tc hun
dreds of thousands of Americahs, but
this fact was finally established at a
recent series of conferences between
manufacturers and Government officials,
reports of which have been received by
E. W. Van Duzen, Atlanta Columbia
dealer.
J. G. Bayerline, president of the Co
lumbia Motors Company, was one of a
number of Detroit manufacturers , who
%rdclpat‘ed in the conferences at
ashington, and was largely fnstrumen
tal In giving the Government officials
a broader view of the motor car and the
industry it has created. \
~ *““We discovered that the opposition 0¢
‘certain Government officials to.the con
‘tinuod manufacture and sale of motor
cars on a large scale was due to a lack
lof information goncerning the {ssues in
volved,' said Mr. Bayerline. “We found
some officials unduly alarmed about the
fuel sup‘)‘ly. 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. p
“For one thing, we pointed ou& that
there existe devery reason for belleving
that means would shortly be worked out
for increasing the fuel »squly. For one
thinl about wtelve million barrels of
gaso fne go to waste annually through
evaporation, and we explained that it
would be only a question or time until
this loss would 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 attained 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 these
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 thre&tens 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 motor ears in large
quantities was modified.

Notes of Interest from Garages
Another new model has just been
announced by the Apperson Bros. Au
tomobile Company, Kokomo, Ind. This
new model will be known as the
Tourer, and, as its name indicates, is
designed so as to combine the con
venience of the roadster with the
comfort of the touring car. ‘
The neat body design, with its com
pact seating arrangement,, makes an
ideal car for those who want a com
fortable car for touring and whe don't’
need as big a car as the seven-pas
senger. It has four doors, undlvided
front seat and a roomy rear compart
ment. The upholstering is of the
Freffch pleated style, deep and com
fortable. Being mounted on the
standard Apperson eight-cylinder
chassis, it has the easy riding quali
ties that are characteristic of the Ap
person. This new model will carry
the improved Apperson eight engine
without the trigger board mechanism
and the single camshaft, and but two
cam gears.

| Barring of the horse from the streets
of San Trancis¢o is the ‘mrpou of an
‘ordinance, which, it {s understood among
!motor car leaders, is to be presented to
‘the board of supervisors shortly with
the request that it be enacted into law.
Advocates of the measure advance
seven arguments in favor of it. They
are as follows:
“That it will greatly relleve conges
thjmt of traffic in the downtown dis
tricts.
“That it will r\nako San Francisco a
cleaner, more healthful city and there
by decrease the death rate.
“That it will ellminate the stable and
substitute the garage, thereby increas
ing the value of real estate,
“That it will lower the cost of living
by releasing acreage and labor now re
quired for the support of the horse to
farming and foodstuffs suitable for hu
man consumption.
“That it will mean less work for the
street cleaning department and there
fore less burden for the taxpayer.,
“That it will gilve San Francisco fame
as the leader of a movement sure ta
be taken up sooner or later throughout
the world.
‘“That it will increaseswages by creat.
ing a demand for highly paid skilled
labor-—chauffeurs and mechanics—in
stead of poorly pald unskilled labor—
teamsters and hosters.”
