THE INTERURBAN ELECTRIC CAR is a hybrid—sired by a steam coach and damned byby a horse car. Niles cars are chips from the old block rather than Mammas boys. Street cars are all right—on streets. So are heavy interurban cars in steam railroad competi-tion. Light cars cannot be run at same speed with comfort and safety as heavier ones. Incollisions light cars disappear, while heavy ones do not leave the track. Steam railways arediscarding all light cars and making day coaches almost as heavy as Pullmans. Interurban cars should be designed for interurban service. Convertible cars are as usefuland necessary on interurban roads as ventilator sash on roof gardens. Niles interurban cars are strong, handsome, of proper weight and designed to meet allrequirements of fast limited service.
