ON ANIMAL WELFARE

Manager Cowhey, OF the CONNER
cial Auto Repair & Storage Co, Lar.
ned and Antoine-sts.. makes a timely
suggestion for the solution of the
Animal Welfare problem
The auto truck he said, "is the
solution OF kindness to the horse. II
Will do the work OF the delivery and
truck horse better. quicker and for
lejs money, and works without IA
tigue or discomfort when the Their
mometer stands at 100 in the shade.
The first cost OF an auto truck is less
than the first cost OF horses and
wagons required TO do the same
amount OF work in day, and with
the truck the operating cost is less,
and there Is no danger OF loss from
having dead or sick horses on your
hands Viewed from any angle. the
motor truck is the solution OF the
Animal Welfare and commercial
hauling problems. The WHY'S trucks
Utility and Garford-fll every pos
sible requirement, a special truck de-
signed for every need from light and
quick delivery up to the hauling OF
