"I had thought tha matter over seri ously," said Mr. Fonea. -and I felt sura the auto truck could be mad a business getter, as well as a more satisfactory and mors economical means of service than teams and wagons, so we ordered our first machine and watched Its work cUwely. The result was that within few weeks wa ordered another truck of the same type and capacity, and our highest expectations bava been mors than fulfilled. "Throush tha us of tha two auto trucks." continued Mr. Fones. "wa are now supplying numerous carapa front seven to 14 miles out In the country. Our two auto trucks equipped us splen didly for tha handling of this business. To give service to these ramps by team and wagon would be practically impossi ble, beaides very expensive. We ara serving several camps out along tha new Mount Hood Railway line, where the grading- and construction crews ara at work. Our two vehlclea. frequently laden beyond the 15')0-pound guaran teed capacity, make the round of tha campa without difficulty. "Another Important point of the auto truck In the creamery upply business la that tha springs and tlrea reduoe tb breakage and tha damage to gooda that ennri of rough trundling on the ordinary b or se-drawn delivery wagon.

AUTOS ARE "FITTED" CARS BUILT TO SUIT TASTES OP ALL CUSTOMERS. Man Who Has Money Can Satisfy His Whims as in Buying Coats -or Xeckwear. There are automobiles and automo biles. One would think that there are enough different kinds to suit every possible demand, every sort or purse and every degree of taste. But it Is not so. There is the man who Is fastidi ous in hla desires, hence he must have a car that will come as nearly as pos sible in satisfying him, even to the minutest detail. And how about tne fashionable woman? ' Her car must have something distinct about it, some thing different from those used by per sons of ordinary means. So eoclety goes out shopping for cars I and to be "fitted" for its machines, as madame is tor a new spring gown m aa pater-famllias or son Johnny are for afternoon frock ooats and walking Btlcks. Of course, one may smile about such notions and think that such prog ress has not reached Portland. But, If It haa not been noticeable here, it has been making decided headway In many cities.

In the days when automobiles were In their experimental stage and the problem was to get a vehicle that could eat up speed and was safe and sure, nobody ever thought of such a thing as these "refinements" and individualities in cars. But now that the motor car i3 a fine piece of mechanism, it Is to be expected that the fashionable who can afford it should look for the showy and original effects in automobiles. The trade and the allied designers will do as much as they can. of course, to help such enthusiasts to spend their money. ; Canby Will Oil Streets. j CANBT, Or'., April 29. (Special.)
