SUCCESS OF THE MOTOR TRUCK.

a splendid object lesson in the
value of good roads was given and
the advantageous use that may be
made OF the motor truck, supplement-
ing the transportation facilities offered
by the railroads to the great benefit OF
farmers and owners OF industrial plants
and mines, not located directly on
rail lines, has been demonstrated in 4
striking manner by the movement Of
a car of coal from the tracks OF the
Southern Railway at Culpcper to
Sperryville, Il distance OF twenty miles,
a three ton motor truck being used.
The IS tons of coal were hauled to
the tanncry in two and half days,
six trips being made. In the past it
has taken a good six mule team two
weeks to accomplish the same work.
The road over which the hauling was
done is good hard road, but leads
into a mountainous country, and has
many long and heavy grades. The
experiment was made by the G. {.
Smoot & Sons Company which operates
tanncry at Spcrryvlllc. So salts
factory were the results that the COM
pany has purchased Il truck and will
hereafter use it in transferring coal
and hides to the tannery and its pro-
ducts to the market. The saving of
time and labor in this case shows what
can be done 10 reduce the cost of NOV
ing farm, mineral and industrial pro-
duce to rail or water lines for ship
ment to market. The successful use
of the motor truck 10y the Smoot tam
merry can doubtless be duplicated in
many parts of the south at the present
time.
