The county engineers of Dallas and
the Dallas Automobile Club are plan
ming to build a macadam road from
the Red river to Galveston, the pro-
posed road to be more than four hun
dred miles in length. Many of the
county commissioners in the counties
through which it is proposed to build
the road have expressed themselves as
being favorable to the project and
have indicated a willingness to assist
in building the road. Governor Col.
quit was the originator Of the idea of
an Appian way from the Red river to
the gulf, and such a plan would meet
with the hearty approval of all citi-
zens of the state.
1t is estimated that each man, WON.
an and child in the United States bears
a tax of $3.50 because of bad roads.
There is a tremendous demand for
pork products in the South and South
east among the states where the farm
ers have not yet learned to raise their
own meat. The clamor of the Texas
packing houses for hogs has reached
the ears of the Texas farmers and they
are planting more hogs, but all the
Texas farms will have to be converted
into breeding and feeding pens before
we can supply the demand. Texas is
the finest country on'the globe for rails
ing livestock and our geographical To-
cation gives us command of the meat
markets.

Three hundred and seventy-three Pierce

that many Pierce Arrows made prior 10 the

dealers and are operated under the deal
ers' general numbers. while others are In
use as delivery wagons and utility cars and
as such may be listed as commercial cars.
The number OF cars Of each year is as fol-
lows: 1907 .: 1903. 30; 1904. %: 1893 -;
1906. S. and 1907, las. The fact that
these cars appear on the books OF
the Secretary Of state may be taken 49,
rresumptive evidence that they are In se-
tive service. since il Is not probable that
an owner would care TO go 10 the expense
OF paving for license unless the car were

But even these figures do not settle the

Gimbel Brothers 10; the Long Island Express
Company 10; and so on.
Among some the Alec has been accepted
As the standard-al future purchases will be
Alcos.
The second point on which value
depends is the experience of the man
ufacturcr.
Good design means little unless
experience in building is back of it.
The thing to know is "how long
has the manufacturer been building
trucks What does the manufac-
turer know about the problems of
transportation!'
For the American Locomotive Company,
builders of the Alec Truck, the experience
began in 1905. The Alec Truck was marketed
in 1908. The experience of the American
Locomotive Company in problems of transport
tation dates back to s35 as movers of the
worlds goods.
The problems of the locomotive and the
problems of the motor truck are parallel. One
is power driven vehicle running on rails
The other power driven vehicle running
without rails
The experience of the American Locomc-
tive Company, as builders Of the Aco Truck,
is rare.
Value is again determined in the
uay the truck IS built.
Little does it matter how well a
truck is designed if it is not well
built. 1t becomes a consideration OF
factory and factory equipment.
The Alec factory represents a very large
investment in equipment. In il are built
e5 per cent. of the parts of the Alec
Truck It has the most complete heat treat
ing plant Of any motor truck factory in the
world. Ii has large chemical and physical

DUYING a motor truck IS like
* hiring a man. You are not
- interested in the color of his
ewes. the tilt of his nose, or his
height and weight.
You want to know what this man
has done and what he can do.
Just so with the motor truck.
It's what a truck will do that
interests you.
Price alone sells few trucks. It's
what you get for the money that
sells them. In other words Ualue.
Four things determine value in a
truck.
One of them is good design.
The only sure way to tell good
design is by results.
If a truck is not we'll designed the
owner soon knows. II 1t IS well
designed, and if he can use more
trucks in his business. he buys more
of the same make-naturally.
Thus you may Judge truck by
the number of repeat orders or re-
orders.
In the case Of the Alec Truck 90 per
cent were purchased on repeat orders. Nine
tenths of this number are in the service OF
firms and corporations listed in Bradstreet at
over 81 900, 900.
Before purchasing, many OF these large
firms carried extensive experiments to
determine which motor truck was best If
only one Alec had been purchased By each OF
these concerns, its place among motor trucks
would be clear. But each of these bought
more than one The American Express Com
pany has 40; the Gulf Refining Company IS

How to Judge a Motor Truck

laboratories to analyze and test the metals
that go into the Alco Truck. In special
and automatic machinery the investment is
particularly large Many of the tools are
not tools in the ordinary sense of the word,
but are fine Instruments those OF
surgeon-and are kept in flannel when not
in use.
In this factory is the largest drop hammer
in the world II weighs ESQ, 900 pounds.
The fourth consideration in deter
mining value-and one that is most
decisive-iS the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
The safest thing in the world to
buy is reputation. Buying truck
from a manufacturer without rep
utation or responsibility is like making
a loan without security.
The American Locomotive Company lie
capitalized at $50, 900 900. 1t dates back to
1885 as movers Of the worlds goods. It has
built so, 600 locomotives. It's reputation is
indeliblc.
These four considerations-Good
Design, the Experience of the Manu-
facturer, Good Building and the Re-
sponsibility of the Manufacturer
provide an "acid test" for Judging a
motor truck.
There are a few trucks that can
stand this test.
Of these the Alec Truck is one.
You should investigate the Alec
for one vital reason, if for no other:
the latent experience-of its build
ers in manufacturing power driven
vehicles.
