WILMET·T ·E L.lf8 August 17, 1928 C¥ Lifter Speed. WOrk I at H·n.- Conapany Shop In the shop of the Hanson Motor company of Wi~petka there is a c;:ar lifter which it is claimed is the only one of it1 kind on the north shore. This apparatus makes it unn'ecessary to have a pit, for it works so rapidly that a car may be lifted from the floor lev!!l to four or five feet height in ' . one minute. One look at this machine which is called "Swift Lift," makes it evident that the days of climbing under a car are over. It is probably a foot wider than car width and two feet longer than a car. · To eet the car on the machine it is only q~ces·~ary to drive into the driveway into which the rear wheels rest. When the motor is started the rollers revolve and every revolution ra~es the car high_ e r and higher on threaded rods . . The Hanson company which is dealer for the Graham-Paige car announce that Graham-Paige has added two handsome bodies of unusual type, a five-passenger coupe and a two-door phaeton, to its line of four-speed models.

Haye_s of Winnetka, president of the Chtcago Motor club, and Chairman of the National Wider Highways Committee of the American Automobile association, "but this charge is so mingled with the necessary cost of upkeep that very few car owners even attempt to arnve at its amount. "In a survey made by Miller McClintock, director of the Albert Russel Erskine Bureau for Street Traffic l esearch it was estimated that traffic conge;tion adds approximately a billion dollars a · year to our bills as a nation. In the case of Chicago, alone, it was · shown that a 10 per cent reduction in traffic delays would result in a saving of twenty-seven million dollars a ye~r; in San Francisco, the cost of movmg many staple commodities from freight car to consumer was found to run from 33 per cent to 81 per cent of the total cost of transportation. Wider Highways Needec:l "Although individuals might be aware of the cost of their personal transportation, the indirect cost of living to be found in commodity prices resulting from cartage of materials is less well known and its burden .Jess realized. The first step in the solution of this problem is wider highways," points out Mr. Hayes; "grade separations will inevitably follow, but let us have wider highways now." Mr. Hayes also says that an unfortunate situation has arisen on our highways as a result of the rapid increase of Am~rican airports and the enthusiastic interest displayed by the public in those airports. "The element of novelty and adventure is still present in aviation, and every Saturday, Sunday and holiday looks down on halting lines of automobiles converging toward the flying fields," he says. "The authorities at the airports have provided free parking space for sightseers, and these parking spaces should be used, as, with cars dignity plus the Continental flavor of parked along the sides of the road or design and coloring for which the new Pierceslowed down to almost no miles an hour, while their occupants watch the Arrow line is famous.

"Some motorists have an idea that the free parking space is only for those who are going up in the planes, but this is a mistaken idea. The space is provided for the cars of all sightseers, so that the highways may be kept open to traffic. The superintendent of traffic of Cook county has asked the co-oper ... ation of the club in getting motorists to help in the alleviation of this really serious condition." Motor transport investment, including hard surfaced roads, has now reached the amazing sum of $29,000,000000, as compared to $24,000,000,000 invested in railway development, according to a bulletin issued by the Chicago Motor club. ··The investment in motor transport has been made in the past 25 years," the bulletin says, "while the railroad investment extends over a period of a century." The club points out that the investment in motor transport includes $3,000,000,000 expended for trucks and $9,000,000,000 invested in hard-surfaced roads. :r.here are three times as many public utthty employes and their dependents in Ill~nois as there are people in the state of Nevada.
