THE ADVANTAGES OF OWNING A
BUICK TRUCK
ran
The merchant who owns a Buiek Truck will quite soon learn (lint it makes tho ideal delivery wagon. It
is always ready and quick trips may be made on very, short notice. Every merchant, knows Cull well that on
an average of almost once a day an emergency arises where goods aro wanted in u hurry. II! a truck was
handy the delivery could be made and a customer gained. Right now there is a strong demand for a delivery
service around Mod ford that is impossible bv wagon. Some firm will cover this service sooner or later
WHY NOT YOU, AND WHY NOT DO IT NOW?
We invite you to have a look at our now Buiek Truck. Let us demonstrate- for you show you what may be
accomplished and give you tho operating cost.
REJMEAQSER, when the truck stops, expense also stops. You'll find that a Buiek will be in service every
day towing will not have to be resorted to, and you can do more satisfactory delivery service at less cost.

Where Delivery Service Is Taxed.
The four Oranges in Now Jersey, together with
neighboring villages, form a community with nearly
150,000 inhabitants, and yet are practically a suburb
of Newark, covering a territory about five miles
square. There is only one large store that of "R. H.
jVIuir in iJast Orange, N. J., and no wool dress
goods nor women's garments are handled in the "De
partment Shop of the Oranges," but quite a line of
house furnishings, and, of course,, the ordinary
smallware lines.
"Comparatively few of our customers," said LLr.
jMiiir to an Economist representative, "take their
purchases with them, so we probably have a larger
demand upon our delivery department than most
suburban stores.
"To handle our 300 deliveries daily we -use gas
oline ears. Each of the machines covers about ,5G
miles a day on an average, uphill and downhill, on
macadam, asphalt, stone pavement and ordinary
roadway.
Points to Consider.
The chief point to consider, in my opinion, is to be
sure and get a reliable driver who can take care of
the car. Next comes the question of garage. From
nry own experience I advise merchants to store their
own cars.
"A car which has to stand the hard knocks that
oitrs gets will need a thorough overhauling at least
once a year, and you will get off cheap if the expense
of this is less than $100. Then; too, there are the in
cidentals, such as punctured tires, renewal of bat
teries, broken parts, etc., all of which greatly depend
on the driver. If he is careful your incidentals will
not be very large, but if you want to save a couple of
dollars a week in wages you are more than likely to
pay twice as much for repairs. So better get a good
man and pay fail wages to begin with."
Bonus To Chauffeur
Their garage expense so far exceeds tho ordinary
operating cost that it seems altogether out of pro
portion. One merchant solved tho problem by mak
ing an agreement with his chauffeurs to tho effect
that if the ropairs and breakages on their cars averag
ed less than a certain amount for six months they
would get a bonus. If the amount was exceeded
more than twice, he simply discharged them.
A Quick Performance.
Last Saturday, about half past eight in the eve
ning, an Economist representative had a practical
demonstration of the quickness with which deliveries
can be made. The head of the house-furnishings de
partment in !Mr. Muir's store came upstairs where
the Economist man was discussing automobiles with
the proprietor, and asked if it would be possible to
deliver two lawn swings that night. The man in
charge of the delivery department said that both
chauffeurs had gone home, but he would run the ma
chine himself. At 8:10 he went to the garage, three
blocks away, got the car out, and at S:55 had tho
swings loaded and started on his journey.
The two places of delivery were about a mile and
a half apart, the nearest over a half mile away from
the store. By the time the car got back to the store it
was 9:18. Such a performance would have been al
most impossible with a horse and wagon.
Here Is Actual Proof.
As a proof of what these commercial motor vehicles
can do, the other day a car did thirty miles in regular
work 'and then was sent out at night on emergency
service and covered twenty miles more in Staten Is
land. Still more recently, another car did forty-five
miles in a single day.
In the near future, the Macy gasoline trucks will
be reinforced by six more, one a large three-ton deliv
ery truck, to be used for taking goods from the main
store to the distributing station at Woodlawn. The
other cars arc 2500 pounds delivery trucks.'

We lift our worshlp-pralse.
For all our radiant names

For failure that which went
With some sublime Intent;
For Death's dark sacrament!
For beckoning beacon hopes

How wide tho future opes!

Man's paths trend more toward peace!
