BUSINESS CONDITIONS
WILL BE FAR LIVELIER
General Motors Man Expects
Things to BE Buster in
the Coming Season.
ny CHARLES u. WARREN.

The prospects for a fine motor truck
business during the next twelve months
are exceptionally bright. For some time
previous to the first OF the year there
appeared to be a marked tendency on the
part of some buyers to defer the purchase
Of industrial equipment until. as they
said. conditions became a little more
settled. To-day. however. the attitude
of business men We call on from time
to time seems to be much more optimistic.
They evidence a willingness 20 consider
an outlay which promises to effect
saving or earn a profit. In the opinion
OF many executives the successful passage
OF the tariff and currency bills has had
big influence IN improving the business
situation. and one Of the first lines to
feel the change is the motor truck in
dustry.
l do not believe there has ever been a
time when business men as whole dis
played u livelier interest In the motorizing
Of the haulage and delivery departments
Of their business.
II Ia not improbable that our recently
announced reduction in prices on our
various models may have something 10
do with the unusual number OF inquiries
We are now receiving. But at the same
time / feel that this special reason for
interest only partially explains the much
improved conditions which our men re-
port.
And when one stops TO analyze the
situation there is every reason to expect
a big increase In the use OF power wagons.
Almost everything We eat, wear and use
In the course OF Its journey from the
producer to the ultimate consumer must
be transported over streets and roads.
II IL freely conceded that in by far
the larger percentage of haulsse and
delivery work the motor truck. when
properly applied to the service. Is the
best and most economical means OF trans
porting goods within. say, radius OF
thirty to fifty miles.
