The truth of the old saying, "It's an

no less well demonstrated, following
the great flood that swept over Ohio

every disaster the world has seen. In

motor trucks instead Of by horse and
wagon. or rail methods, are the ones
who see great good come out of
the food. though they were no less
sympathetic with its victims or
prompt in coming to their relief than
any others In the United States.
1t is the reconstruction OF roads
and bridges destroyed by the great
sweep of waters that the motor truck
advocates are to benefit, according to
Vice-President G. w. Bennett of the
Garford company Of Elyria, o. With
the work of rebuilding washed-out
roads and bridges completed, Ohio
and Indiana will have some OF the
best truck highways in the country,
says Mr.. Bennett. basing his state
ment on information lately received
from Garford truck dealers in all
