Economu I'lan in Bond Selling Under Way The plan mentioned in this lolinnn .leccntly by which the Uqultablo Trust Company, of New Yorh. proposed to promote economy co-operation and cfllelency in the sale of bonds and other securities has already been put into operation. Briefly Ji Is a prollt-sharltiK plan, in which hanks ml security dealers In cities and small towns in tho Interior participate. In the plan and nhare the prollts equally with the trust company from the sale of securities. The plan provides that each week selected lists or bonds, notes and acceptances ate forwarded to each banklus houso or tlrm partkipntiiis In tbo plan. Advcrtlslus campaigns will ho prepared for participants, enabling them to ciiltlvnto their local lipids Intensively. The national advertising will be planned largely to Interest not so much the largo Investor as the small. "The rutfliH of theso small Investors." saj,s the Kqultnblo Trust in announcing Its plan, "have grown from tho thousands to the millions slnco tho outbreak of tlio war. It Is estimated that there were nt least ten " millions of subscribers to tho first and second Liberty Loans. This fact proves conclusively the enormous Investment purchasing power ot the country. Tho majority of theso Government bond buyers will become Investors In other liigh-grado securities." , One of tho aspects of tho plan, It Is pointed out. Is tho fact that It will rcduco overhead charges for many dealers and banks In tho Interior and at the same tlmo tend to broaden tho country's investment market. Trade Acceptance Growing in Favor Tho trado ucccplanco is making headway, slowly perhaps, but iuicly. in rommerclal circles' In this country, and Its advocates predict nt no distant dato It will become universal In its adoption. Ono of tho greatest objections to Its more universal uso which has been urged by those opposed to It Is Hie foar of Its substitution for cash discount,. On that point the Kntlonul City Company tays: Tho accepance is not urged as a substitute for the cash discount. No doubt It Is desirable, to hove tho buyer, where practicable. Ilnancc ldmseif entirely Independent of llio seller, but In a country where so largo a volume of trade Is carried on upon open accounts It will not do to cay that no improvement short of tho complete adoption of cash Puyments is wortli while. Tlicro Is n largo- field in which credit conditions can be improved by using Ui names of seller and buyer together. JJotli will bo boncflled, and both will to prompted tu.moro jiitjrupulous utlention td sound business methods In order to protect ihelc credit.

Trails tilted almost on end, for bidding ascents that show up the true colors of your car. 4 The rush of power from ihc energetic 83 horsepower motor of the Standard "8" is equal to the sternest climb. You soar on pinions of power up perilous cliff-sides. You hit the grade at 30 miles per hour. And behold, the little needle is still at 30 when you reach the top. Or throttle down and see what she'll do. Watch your speedometer 10 miles an hour, 5, 3, xi. It hardly seems possible and your gear is still in "high." Yet not a sign of laboring. Now give her gas. Forget your gears. Gathering speed like a bird or aeroplane, you complete your climb in a whirl of 40 or even 50-mLIe-an-hour strainlcss motion. j As safe for touring after 50,000 miles as after 1,000. fj Made by Standard Steel Car Company, Pittsburgh, Pa.
