These four factors are. important—gasoline mileage, because gasoline wastage must be ended; tire mileage, because with most cars that is the largest single item of upkeep; road-ability, because upon it depends your comfort and peace of mind; depreciation, because that is a

of the company showing that, excluding the items of depreciation, disin tigration and bad accounts, which he estimated would total 15 cents a ton, the actual cost pf handling coal for his company was $2.41 a ton during Jahuary, Fel> rttary and March of this year, $2.92 during the next three months, and $2.76 in July and August.

sure index to reliability and car life. Franklin results, in these respects, are a matter of record. ‘ For eighteen years the Franklin has won practically every prominent economy run held. Its tires last two years, on the average. It has established unequalled road records both in time between definite points and in distance within a definite time. And its slow depreciation is attested by the scarcity and high values j of used Franklins everywhere.

Consider* Jobber* Necessary. In response to questions by Mr. Eschbach, Mr. George said that his company purchased most of their coal from the operators, but some of it was -bought from jobbers, “whom* he regarded as a necessary link in the chain of distribution.” G. -D. Rider of Goodland, Newton county, said he couldn't find any operators who had coal to sell. He related that some time ago he was able to get two ears at 15.50 a ton, but that his competitor had to pay $8 a ton to a jobber. The competitor sold the eoal for 111 a ton* he said. ‘'Well, I had to sell at the same price that my competitor did or I wouldn't have any coal to sell to my Customers,” he replied. “I made some money on that coal.” Frederick E. Matko" * and Clar-

ence W. Nichols, attorneys, repreresented the 750 coal dealers of the Indiana Association of Retail Coal merchants. They insisted that the commission establish a fixed margin of profit for dealers, in addition to the cost of handling. If this is not followed, they said, the commission would have to fix prices high enough to permit dealers having heavy operating costs to exist ' It had been previously announced that one Indianapolis dealer had an the net profit xrf cents ,a ton fehafged by Indianapolis dealers, it was said. The average handling costs of fifteen Indianapolis dealers, including profit, was |3.01 a ton. V x, ' - • \; Sunday ngiht was the Solemn close of Forty Hours Devotion.
