NEW JERSEY FAVORS JITNEYS.
Owner" Mnklnw Profit nnd JllnrjsWill Mtiiy, Sn F. II. flump.
New Jersey Is showing more InterestIn tho Jitney bus than Is uny otherStat tributary to New York, In theopinion or F. H. Hump, New York branchmnnager for Studobaker. Ho believesthat the Jitney bus as a means of pub-
lic conveyanco has come to stay Inthnt State.
"I know or Jitney buses In New Jer-sey that are running as much ns 110miles a day and showing a flue profit,"said Mr. Hump In dlecusslng the ultua-tio- n.
"Thin may bo unusual, as are theprofits of the owner who has drivena Studebaker Jitney bus In New Jerseyover 4,000 miles In 30 dnys, Inking In $50a day during that period, but It whowswhat cjiii bo done. New Jersey has u Jit-
ney bus association which Is In n flour-
ishing condition. Tho State has such aperfect network of roads that automo-biles which provide public passongertransportation are never subjected to anundue cost of upkeep. Tho populationIh so dense as to provide passengers Inprvtltable numbers every day In the year.
"Studebaker manufactures a 10 pas-senger bus, and this Is the one whichwe are selling widely In New Jersey.Tho lOtfi model will he ready for de-livery September 1 and wo expect NewJersey to take, a great many on thestrength of past Htudebaker perform-ance ns well um on the advance In au-
tomobiles of this character which thenew model represents."
