Autocars Best in Three Years' Test- 

 Horses Discontinued 



Max Schlinff, Florist, tells how he covers New York City 

 and Distant Suburbs with these Reliable Delivery Cars. 



ELIMINATION of horses, particularly for long 

 hauls, and the substitution of good motor de- 

 livery vehicles is a significant sign of the times. 

 Of the more ihan 1700 business concerns using the 

 Autocar, scores have entirely discontinued the use of 

 horses. Max Schling, Florist, 22 W. 58th St., New 

 York, who has an extensive 

 trade in both city and sub- 

 urbs, is an example. In ref- 

 erence to the work his Auto- 

 cars are doing, he recently 

 wrote US:— 



"In April, ]911, we bought 

 our (first Autocar. Just at 

 that time our spring business carried us fat out of 

 town and we worked the car daily on routes such as 

 Greenwich, Norwich, Bridgeport, Norfolk, New Lon- 

 don, Seymour. New Haven and other cities in Connec- 

 ticut; Irvington. Ardsley, Ossining and almost every 

 other city and town in New York State, fifty and sixty 

 miles and more away, and many cities in New Jersey, 



**Used in Every Line of Business** 



decorating) houses and gardens in cities like Port 

 Washington and Elast Hampton. 



"Stretches of 120 to 130 miles in one day happen 

 very often with weights of 500 to 600 pounds, starting 

 on such days at six o'clock in the morning and return- 

 ing at seven or seven-thirty in the evening^ without 



trouble. 



"A year after our first pur- 

 chase we added one more car, 

 and after having for two years 

 very good service from both 

 cars, we gave up horses and 

 wagons entirely. At present 

 we are working our own two 

 Autocars besides three other Autocars which are con- 

 tracted for by the season, and storm or no storm, they 

 go out daily, and the expense of delivery against for- 

 mer years we have just cut in half. 



"In the severe snow storms in the early spring of 

 1914, the cars did very hard work, and our only loss 

 was the loss of three sets of chains." 



What the Autocar is doinsr for Max Schling^ 

 it can do for YOUR delivery system.
