worth, however. In the bus business.

hour and in the best of comfort, with
11 other passengers. The(bus-is a
regular Stephens chassis with, a few
changes in body construction "to af
ford larger seating capacity.
The owner said that he averages
over 20 miles to the gallon of gaso

bus had run over 55,000 miles and
