CONCRETE SAID CHEAPER
COST-OF. DRIVING. CAR OX CE
.: ME.XT DECLARED LESS
The General Tire company of
Springfield, 111., engaged some
time ago in the "Hire A Car and
Drive It Yourself" business,- and
established a most thorough cost
finding system. Certain - cars
were confined to - trips on con
crete roads, and others to earth
road trips.' After 12,000 miles or
running it. was found that the
average expense for. cars sent
over concrete roads had been
$288 less than for machines run
over dirt, taking into account
gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, depre
ciation, interest on investment,
cleaning and garage space. Oper
ating costs were as follows: ,
Ford touring Cost per mile on
earth roads, $0,093, cost per mile
on concrete roads, $0,069; Ford
coupe,, earth roads, .9 4, concrete
roads, .0 JO; Ford sedan, earth
roads, ,05. concrete roads, .072;
Dodge touring, earth roads, .115,
concrete ' roads, .091.
These figures show a saving of
2.4 cents a car for all classes 'of
machines "on -each mile traveled.
This is approximatftijt- 85 per
cent, and in the case of low pric
ed cars would soon pay for a new
one. -: . .-- -

is something unique in a car at

the vacation party finds a cool

that is necessary is to slide for

That the new Overland Stand

one new owner who said: "I
