"One of the cardinal vlrtues'of a tour

$1. D. MacNab of the Marlon Motor Car
company. In dlFcusshis 1913 model cara
at the automobile show. "Ease and
luxury for the occupants are prime
requisites and to these we have .given
unusual attention In offering the Marlon
car to the public. In roominess of bodies.
Flze of tires, length of whcelbase and
flexibility of springs, we have given a
creat deal more of comfort than Is
usually found In a medium (Triced motor
"In both our touring models, 37-A and
v
have an Instant appeal for the purchaser
who Is Becking the utmost of luxury and
comfort. The scats are wide and deep
with the best of hand-buffed leather over
twelve Inches of curled hair and springs
at the back, and seat cushions ten
Inches deep built up on the best quality
of colled springs and tilted backward at
a most comfortablo angle. The seats and
upholstery of the Marion are as Inviting
as a lounging chair. The coll springs are
tied to prevent sagging or getting out of
shape.
Thero Is ample leC room for passengers,
both in front and in the tonneau, the
long wheelbase and compact motor unit
giving much more space for this refine
1
ment than usual In moderate-priced motor
cars. All our springs are of the best
Imported material, Manchester steel,
which has the maximum of flexibility
and strength. The seml-elllptic front and
fhree-quarter elliptic rear springs are un
usually long and so hung as to provide
the utmost of resiliency. They only carry
the car the driving action is taken up
by the torsion tube and torsion yoke."
ENGINEER IS SAFE MAN TO
FOLLOW IN HIS SELECTION
"When an engineer with a thorough
knowledge of mechanics buy" an electric
car, his example Is a safe one to follow,"
according to Mr. Woodard, sales manager
of the Woods' Electric Automobile com
pany. "The engineer usually looks be
fore he leaps, and his vision In such mat

gates the various mechanical features
and structural designs which ore far too

COI.UMIH'S, O., Feb. 22.-The auto o'
lection of mall ts being maintained at a
less eoit to the government In Coiurauj-.
than In any other city or town In tl'e
United States, thanks to the careful
working out of a scheme that originated
with Postmaster Krumm and one or two
others. The mall now Is collected with
Ford cirs.
Several months ago when the govern
mint advertised for bids from those who
wculd rent autos to the sovcrnmcnt for
the collection of mall, the lowest old w.ts
J21.O0O annually, According to the ruls
of Uncle 8am the postmaiter could n t
spend any money for the purchase or
autos. That Is, he could not spend any
of the government's money tor that pur
pose.
Postmaster Krumm sent three proposi.
tlons to the government, but none of
them proved satisfactory, nnd then he
looked up the allowances that were male
for operating and the upkeep of autui.
He found that $1,000 annually was a'.
loned for the upkeep of autos, chauf
feurs, etc. Then he decided to, purchase
the autos necessary to collect the rill
In Columbus. To do this required mony,
and, as postmaster, he was not permlttd
to engage In any business for profit, with
the government paying the profit.
f?o he Interested the mall carriers who
were assigned to the work and thoy do
ctded to purchase the nutos outfignt.
llut when thoy came to this conclusion
they didn't figure that autos were sold
for cash, and they had no fur-dr. to in
vest for the government. Then Mr.
carriers.
Within n few months the machines will
be fully paid for and then the earner
will have nil that Is left over, After tho
upkeep Is paid for, as their own In oJd'
tlon to their regular salary. Hut ihy
have found that at the rate they trAvcl
It Is pretty expensive to run nutos n-d
hnvo so far failed to find the balance
they anticipated, after paying tor tl.'es,
gasoline, oils nnd other charges that
make auto owning a real luxury.
In spite of this fact the government Is
making the collection of malls In Co.
lumbys cheaper than In any other city
In tho United State, cheaper by JU.tfiO
than tho lowest bidder nnd W.000 cheaper
than was dono by tho old-fashioned horso
and wagon route, which was much slower
nnd not nearly so satisfactory.
