MERCURY MOTOR FACTORY

the East among the automobile trade. in
speaking of the recent Brooklyn and Bos-

terms of the way in which the product
he represents was received by all mer-
chants whose requirements call for the
use Of "a light delivery truck of loo

cost from 20 per cent. upward. The cost
of transportation can be determined
just as logically as the cost of operat-
ing any other machine. 1t is merely a
question of measuring the work required
and measuring the cost, and placing one
against the other. In other words, you
pay only for measured service.

the Catskill aqueduct to the five Dor

The problem of removing a million
yards of rock In the heart of a big city
was a perplexing situation for the cou-
tractors and engineers. 1t was finally
settled by the purchase Of Garford
trucks, to which ~trailers are attached.
The selection of motor vehicles instead
of horses and wagons for this purpose
was made after a number of actual tests
had been carried out TO determine the
relative efficiency and cost of the two
methods of transportation. The distance

about two miles, which would have in
