constitutes the load on this occasion, but some five Lacre vans climb this hill, daily, with various c assPs of goods and parcels, and without a,n,y difficulty, our town delivery-work daily, as required, ae well as a
country round, taking in a number of villages several miles apart, three times a week. Our man has had no difficulty whatever in handling the car, and has never had a stoppage on the road, it having accomplished its work without a hitch.
We find our expenditure upon fuel and lubricating oil, for the six weeks now ending, amounts to .4'4 4s.
