possible to induce some minor league

FEDERAL TRUCK
GREAT Climber

! 4 Z 3aH I" +
f. Roger Stearns of the Standard
Motor Car Co. of Los Angeles hung
up another Federal record, when he
drove a Federal truck up the twisting
trail to The top Of Lockout mountain.
The guests at the Lookout inn were
treated to new sensation when
Steafns pulled up at the door in a
motor truck with as much ease and
nonchalance as a pleasure car driver.
Taking truck with wheel base
Of IA inenes around series OF sharp
curves and climbing the entire dis
lance of 20 miles without dropping in
Stearns successfully accomplished
Owing to the governor on the en-
CINE. which limits its speed to fifteen
miles an hour, the car made just as
good time on the slopes as on any
city street
spectators along the route are con-
WINGED that the machine in most
cases made as good time as a tour
ing car, and had it not been for it's
length. In all probability, it could
have broken all speed records. The
car was under perfect control at all
stages of the trip.
Stearns did not have to reverse
gears once on making curves, but the
lengthy car swung around them with
the ease and grace of a mourS.ain
pony. Several touring parties were
held in awe on seeing the big truck
so calmly take the narrow and dam
gerous passes with apparently no
fear whatever on the part Of the
driver. When asked his reason for
such a test. Stearns explained:
The test was made for two rea-
sons: First, wished to determine
the sustained pulling power of the
truck with<its 30 hip. motor, and then
: was curious to, know just how one
of the long wheel bases could be
handled in tight places. / know now
that the truck will go any place the
ordinary touring car~,will.
Federal trucks are being put into
service rapidly in the western noun
famous sections. These roads are
usually rough and crooked. There
are eight bus lines in the Rockies
that are using the Federal to haul
supplies and passengers. and SO far
the truck has literally delivered the
goods In every case. ~ - 49, =
