Some motor truck statesmen

Some motor truck statesmen
have always had a great
deal to say about the i'm
preston made on the bust
ness man when the staff en-
gineer, the sales-manager
and the higher officials of a
truck concern visit him to
plot out his transportation
system and sell him the
equipment.
1t is, we suppose, a trlb-
ute to his standing as a pro-
spective customer.
There are doubtless, in
every community, men who
are impressed by the treat
ing of a homely, practical
subject in the terms of alb
stract technicality coupled
with the language of large
affairs.
But we seldom see this
type of buyer in daily life,
and we prefer to believe
that when it comes to a
hand to hand fight with ex-
travagance and waste
this element of personal
craftsmanship drops to the
ground.
Our experience is that
more and more of the bust
ness men of this country are
relying on the good old
fashioned method of get
ting down to cases.
Motor truck designing is
simply everyday common
sense applied with special
knowledge to special prob
lens.
The engineer uses exact
ly the same methods in solv-
ing his problems that the
common man does in at
lacking the common prob
lens of life.
The thing that makes a
man a great engineer is his
ability to apply common
sense to the logic of events.
The far-seeing engineer
is likely to find himself
ahead of the times until
the facts get around-the
he finds that the thing he has
achieved is just anticipated

what action should be taken.

representative agreed, however. that

action which would perpetuate the
Progressive party as national po-
