TRUCKS IN FARM WORK

President George A. Kissel ~ the Kissel
company
"There are now quite n respectable mum
Der Of KisselKar trucks in service OF fruit

1T IS certainly gratifying 20 note how
enthusiastic rural Calfornians are regard
ing the motor truck. One OF the greatest
drawbacks in raising California fruit In
the past you know. has been in the waste.
Fruit crops were so prolific and distances

a large percentage OF the crops lay on che

motor truck has changed all that. +. III.

Engineers Now Giving Public

chimes Will Haul Load of
Twenty Tons.
BY Charles Martin.

Az an exhibition OF real advancement
in commercial vehicle design, this years
shows offer more than any previous ones.
The tendency all along the line is that
motor truck engineers are showing indie
pendence and giving the public what il
should have. instead OF what it thought
1t wanted and this is very good sign.
In the past the customer was somewhat
inclined 10 do the designing and expected
the manufacturer 10 do the guarantee
ing. which resulted in dissatisfaction all
around.
According TO the advance literature
Of the exhibitors. there will be shown
at Madison Square Garden and Grand
Central Palace some unusual types of
motor vehicles, designed with the pri-
mary object OF reducing the cost Of trans
portation Of merchandise. regardless of
conventional form.
The pleasure automobile design when
used for commercial purposes has Of
fered some rather puzzing difficulties, to
overcome which II was necessary 20
change the form Of applying the power
for carrying loads exceeding five tons
This led to the development Of the tracto.
or drawer, which IS really IN effect a
road locomotive. designed TO draw the
conventional wagon. These machines
have been extensively used during the
past year for loads up 10 twenty tons
about the limit OF what the highways
will stand.
The commercial cars shown this year
might be divided into three classes-the
light delivery, which embraces from the
motorcycle package carrier to the one
and-oue- half-ton truck; the conven-
tional type Of motor truck, for loads Of
from two to four tons. aud the tractor,
for real heavy hauling.

According TO reports received from ieau

'WORM DRIVE A SUCCESS
Pierce.ArroW Trucks Meet the
Test in Every Way.
NO CHAINS TO WORRY OVER
Gear Construction Adopted
After Five Years of Care
full Experimentation.

la buying motor truck in many cases
it is difficult to decide upon a particular
make and model to be selected. OF almost
first importance is the maker, who win
be obliged during the life of the truck to
supply necessary parts for replacement,
service and many other elements which
assist the owner in successfully operat-
ing the vehicle. Regulations are not built
up easily, and in case of the Pierce-Arrow
worm-driven truck. the makers conducted
series OF practical experiments In theic
own shops and in the service of several
transportation interests for a period OF
more than five years before selling veh!-
Cles to the public. The result is that to-
day Pierce-Arrow trucks are everywhere
admitted TO possess the certain required
qualities that make for "A successful heavy
truck.
Among the more prominent features of
the Pierce Arrow truck mechanism may
be mentioned the worm gear drive form
Of driving construction that has been in
use in England for more than twelve
wears by many OF the leading truck MAX
crs. notably Dennis Brothers. Limited, OF
Gulford and the Leyland Motors. Limited
81 Preston. both names famous In Europe
for the finest motor construction At the
time the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Com
pany first offered to the public the worm
drive truck il was met with considerable
opposition. but the faith Of the makers
has been very substantially borne out
for more than two years in the hands Of
the public. and many cases are now on
record where the worm drive construction
has more than exceeded the initial claims.
The worm gear has none OF the many
objections of chains, such as continual
fabrication, adjustment and cleaning. The
worm gear meets the demand for silence,
suoothness and cleanness. Ii has sup
planted practically all other forms in
Europe on account OF features mentioned
also the high efficiency. reliability and
economy. II costs no more than chains
and will outwear chains at least two TO
one II requires fabrication only twice
each year. or approximately every five
thousand miles. Every day brings re-
peated reports OF success OF the worm
driven Picrce-Arrow truck. and the latest
trade advices are 10 the effect that sew
eral makers IN this country have adopted
the worm drive, and many more are ex-
perimentlng with II FOR It's future use.

MANY TYPES OF TIRES
Goodyear Builds Several, to
Meet Varied Requirements.

"You cannot expect single type OK
tire to serve on any car, or any road, Tn
any country" says c. W. Martin. man
ager OF the motor truck tire department
OF the Goodyear company who is attend
ing the automobile show. The solution
OF the truck tire problem. | believe, lies in
several types NJ tires from which motor
truck owners can choose.
with this idea in mind Goodyear truck
tires have been built expressly and solely
for American use, for American streets
and roads, for American drivers. and for
American motor truck owners who de-
mand the limit Of profit from every dollar
put into truck equipment
Notable among the advances in truck
tire manufacture stands the demountable
cushion truck tire. In Baltimore this type
OF tire has given unusual mileage.
