A New Idea in Delivery Service

Here is something new under the sun in the way of automotive delivery equipment. This smart little Austin Special Delivery Car, hardly more than half the size of the ordinary commercial vehicle, yet providing 28 cubic feet of package space right at the driver's elbow, has proved itself a busienss stiumulant in dozens of fields since its introduction in thsi country a short time ago. Besides delivering the goods, the bantam machine fills the role of a traveling advertisement, attracting more attention as it eases through traffic than an electric sign on wheels. The car will do 40 miles on a gallon of gas, and can be operated for less than three-quarters of a cent per mile.
