The Hurlburt company has always

HURLBURT TRUCKS
A COMMUNITY AID
lis Asset to Business Men and
Proximity Of Factory In
sures Steady Operation.

The Hurlburt Motor Truck Company
motor truck world II has established a
largo and thoroughly equipped factory
In the heart OF this city and has made
a speciality Of studying how to produce
and place In the hands Of New York city
merchants the highest type of motor
truck. 1t is an interesting fact that a
comparatively new truck manufacturing
company should command the serious
attention of every large buyer in a COM
munity such as New York city and
should be able to induce many Of the
largest and best known firms In the
country TO purchase a product which has
been only for a short time on this mar
ket.
This fact especially demands comment
when II is considered that the New York
market has had the highest form Of
special representation OF every large
and we'll known truck manufacturer OF
! the country and where unlimited money
has been spent by truck makers that
have been in the business for many years
10 force the purchase o. tc.c NcH.c!cs.
And the answer IL that the Hurlburt
concern has been able to demonstrate in
the most difficult field in the country
that its product has been designed and
manufactured with skill n that the
materials used are the best.
Gradually there has grown up In New
York city a feeling Of the greatest con-
fdence in the product and the service OF
the Hurlburt Motor Truck Company.
During the first few years a reputation
Of such high character was gained by
this organization that many orders be-
gan to come In with little or no selling
effort. until to-day the Hurlburt company
stands with hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars OF contracts for Hurlourt motor
trucks upon it's books. The company
heads soon realized they had outgrown
the small plant in which they had pro-
duced their first vehicle and selected
after careful and thorough examination
the large plant formerly occupied by the
]. L. Mott Iron Works, situated at Har-
lem River and Third avenue. Here the
company has many times the space TOR
,nerly occupied. with both railroad and
water transportation al its very door
! and every possible facility for taking
care of the trade that has come 20 It as
n result OF its efforts to place in the
hands OF every purchaser a truck tina
is as near as humanity possible mechan-
ically perfect.
1t is unquestionably true that, pro-

srhe new feature of the law for cleo

"is a matter for consideration by the au-
thorities OF the city, II the opinion of
the Court Of Appeals on the economic
grounds of the act as a whole Is to have
attention. The court said II was COM

Of the general welfare to require both

This is OF special value to the average

In this city many Of the larger mer-
