Rodney S. Pullen Claims Fuel Ex
pense Is Reducible One-
Third
The argument that the woman who
drives an electric car ppends one-third
less for motlvo power than the owner
of a gasollno car Is advanced by nod-
ncy S. Pullen, who Is Philadelphia agent
for tho Mllburn electric cars. Mr Pul
len asserts that tho Mllburn Is the light
est car built, weighing from 1200 to
1E00 pounds less than other tjpes. nnd
that It can be driven from 00 to 100
miles on a single charging of electricity,
at a cot of Sl.SS. To drive a gasollno
car the same distance, Mr. Pullen says,
would cH for about J1.C3 worth of
gaollne.
Tho company Is arranging for a scries
of service stations at which new bat
teries may be obtained, the owner leav
ing her old set In exchange. The ex
change of batteries on the Mllburn car
does not call for live minutes' time. Al
though a set of batteries weighs about
700 poundi. It 1 mounted on ball bear
ings on a tiny truck. At a touch of a
finger the old battery can bo wheeled
out from the car upon the truck and
tho fresh one roiled Into place.
Mr. Pullen Is ixhlbltlng a flve-pac-sengcr
lectrlc coupo at tho ntito show.
The Mllburn Is also manufacturing a
five-passenger sedan car, with room for
three persons on the rear scat, nnd a
seven-paRsenger touring car. Any of
them ore so flexible that they are par
ticularly easy for a woman, to drive, Mr.
Pullen points out.
