The commercial truck race held around the bay at San Francisco Thanksgiving morning demonstrated their durability and economy to the disadvantage of the old style horse drawn vehicles. The Frayer-Miller 2 1-2 ton truck, which won the econo my run of 100 miles, was lookod after by C. B. Waters, manager of the Fray-er-Mlller department of Neate & Mc Carthy, of Portland. The cost was 12.7J for the trip, making the per ton coit 1 -10.UO0 cents a- mile. This test was made for the United States Army officers stationed at the Presidio. The Frayer-MUler. beside making a perfect score, ehowed that it was equal to the hard knocks that every truck has to stand In every.uity use. On the way out Valencia street, before daylight, a Valencia street car came around a corner, and before the driver could get out of the way crashed into the Frayer-Miller. The force of the Impact turned the truck around twice. The street car was badly damaged and had to be towed to the barn. In speaking of the Frayer-MUler, Mr. Waters said yesterday:. "A 3 1-2-ton truck which was recent ly used by the Oacar L. Levy Construc tion Company, of San Francisco, for hauling the heavy pipe for the new salt water system, covered during the first month 1042 miles and carried 6t7 tons. "The expense for the month was I13.J0 for oil and J33.3S for gasolene. The oil was computed at the rate of 25 cents a quart and the gasolene at 20 cents a gallon. No repairs of any tort were made, and the driver was paid no more than a driver of a horse drawn vehicle would have received. "In the second month the distance covered was lull miles and the truck carried 707 tons. As In the former month, no repairs were necessary, and the truck was worked day and night with two shifts of workmen. "The expense amounted to $36. 4S for gasolene and 114.07 for oil. "It alii be seen that this truck ac complished more In covering all this dtstsnce with such hard loads than three or four teams could have done. The loads carried were heavier. The distance was covered more quickly and fewer trips were necessary to accom plish large contraets of work." Buy Engll.-h Fox-Hu tits. Edinburgh Soot fin.

A Motor Car Is Worth What It Pays You In Service Have you ever noticed that it is the man who does not own an automobile who does most all the talking about the expense of running one? The man who owns a car appreciates that it is worth what it pays him in service, and that this far overbalances what he pays for the service. Whether a man is extravagant or not depends on what he gets for his money. "Economy is the judi cious expenditure of money." If you really need a thing, you are paying for it day by day, whether you own it or not. It would be possible to do without gloves or an overcoat, but the service these "things render you far outweigh the price that you would have to pay for them in money. Doing without a motor car means doing without the service which that car would give, and a good car will render more time-saving, labor-saving, efficiency-multiplying, health-building service in a given length of time than anything you can buy. The automobile is the mdst efficient private servant that man has ever built for himself. It is ready to go at a moment's notice. It does not have to be watched. It goe over any route. It runs on no schedule except the owner's will. It helps him to entertain his friends and business associates. It takes his wife and daughter out shopping, calling, or to the theater. It takes the whole family out into the country in the sunshine and fresh air, giving them enjoyment and health. It is so durable that it out wears a locomotive, so comfortable that old people and babies can ride in it for hoars without fatigue. For $1500 you can buy a servant that will do all these things for you and many more. What else could you buy for $1500 that would give you as much pleasure and as much profit as this motor car? Twenty horses and car riages could not do it for you, nor one thousand railroad trips. In fact, there is no other way except with a motor car that you can live this life and have these pleasures. Does $1500 seem like a large price to pay for this service? It't a Great Pleatare to Baild Good Automobile Even the man who builds a really good car at tremendous expense is happy in doing it. But how much greater is the happiness of the man who builds a really good car at reasonable expense, to sell at. medium prices, like the Chal mers 1 That man has a right to be happier than the other because he has done a greater thing. He has the satisfaction of offering people the same kind of service and enjoyment for a lower price. That's something a strong man can take pride in. The designing of the Chal mers "30" was a two years" task. Our designers took ad vantage of all the most ad vanced ideas of both European and American builders. This car unquestionably has been the most successful car of its class. The Chalmers "30" is the car that won the 191 o Glidden Trophy in competition with cars twice its price and power. The Chalmers "30" has never been defeated in any im portant contest by a car of its own price and horse power. Any man who wants a car for service and does not re quire extreme power or seat ing capacity for more than five, will find every requirement an swered in this wonderful car. The 19 1 1 models are on ex hibition at our showrooms. We shall be glad to give you a demonstration. H. L. KEATS AUTO CO. BURNSIDE AND SEVENTH STS. (LtMUJ nAr SmIJmn Patmnt) liS.
