ala era OF success, hV says.
Several circumstances have com
blned in the last Year TO awaken the
IuDliC to the necessity OF commercial
Vehicle transportation. For example,
the unprecedented volume OF freight
which our common carriers were sud
denly called upon TO transport last
year, in some instances involving an
excess Of 81 per cent, was an Iii vino
that blew good to the motor trucN
business.
he freight car shortage resulted
in thousands of new owners of motor
trucks. Horses were discarded in IA
yOr OF the power vehicle because the
motor truck would help alleviate tho
freight transportation conditions. An
ever increasing number of trucks en-
gagged in intercity trade resulted and
trucks made many new friends.
Had the freight car shortage eX-
listed five years ago it is probable that
business conditions would have been
paralyzed. Motor trucks, however
saved the situation. Necessity proved
that they had solved the short haul
problem, and every one Of those thou.
sands Of new owners of commercial
vehicles became a staunch supporter
of that method of transportation. To-
day these owners are telling their
friends about it. Their friends are
buying trucks and the original owners
are buying more trucks.
The advantages of the motor truck,
from the standpoint of business eff
cheney, economy and endurance, have
been most satisfactorily demonstrated.
The additional motor truck service
during the last few months has been
the biggest selling factor in the his
tory Of the business"

SAYS AUTO DRIVERS
VIOLATE THE LAW

"Ne4rIy every Sunday hr:"@, l.
record - death ana '.s"~l through

city or suburbs, says HARRY 5 HOuWt,
president Of the hudson Motor Car
company Of New York 1T may ne
stated in broad terms that PRACTICAL;
every accident is the result OF abSc
lutte carelessness on the part OF dt
least one driver, although the operator
or occupants of another car may be
the innocent victims in a collision Of
which they are in no manner g
blame.
Many of the ordinances designed
for the safety of the public, ana
which are in the most part reasonable,
may be put down as almost null and
void because of their nOn-Observanco
by users of the highways. This does
not specifically apply to motorists,
but to drivers of horse drawn vehicles
as we'll.
Not one in hundred. either motor
list or driver of horses, obeys the ordi-
nance providing that vehicles snail
come to a dead stop before crossing
a boulevard; nor one in a hundred
obeys the ordinance which provides
that slow moving vehicles shall keep
as near to the curb on the right as
possible.
The state Of New York has jus:
put into effect a law which will COM
pei every person in New York city
who drives a motor vehicle to obtain
license from the secretary of state,
although not requiring an eXamina-
ton. There is some merit in this,
but it is doubtful if it goes far enough

and at the same TIM" least tOstI
method Of transportation for tn"F
product. The result has been Il" Uni
versal adaptation OF motor trucks.
Satisfied with their findings, the
petroleum companies turned TO motor
trucks almost Ove- night. Orders
were placed for large numbers OF
trucks and soon the entire oil indus,
try was motorized. Subsequent OK,
perience has shown that the cor
panies exercised good judgMer' IN
making this change. for the ciimiT1-
ton Of horse-drawn tanks has worked
a great saving in transportation costs.
Another advantage in the truck
units is the possibility Of doing away
with railroad haulage between small
towns Huge motor tank wagons
covering a scheduled route, make
daily deliveries of oil in number
OF small towns situated within an OPP
Grating radius of the distributing
points. The establishment of several
of these distributing points in each
state makes ii possible to cover
vast part of the country by motor
tank trucks.
The motor truck has never failed to
give excellent service for the oil com
panies with the result that refineries
are today among the largest users o.
motor trucks. Many of the companies
are operating fleets of 100 trucks.
while a number of others have q
trucks in constant use.
The motor truck industry has en-.
joyed a big business from oil COM
panies throughout the country, and
we have been especially favored"
said NJ. L. Pulcher, vice president and
general manager of the Federal Mo-
tor Truck company. I'VE have but
recently filled single order for 40
heavy duty Federals from one COM
pany. The weight Of the oil, the long
.hauls, and the comparatively rough
treatment a motor truck receives in
the oil service, makes 1T vital that the
Equipment be carefully constructed in
livery particular.
Judging from the experience We
lave had with trucks in the Oil hns:.
ness, the FEDERAL is particularly, we'll
lifted for this traffic. Our haulage
units are now in the hands OF "a re-
fineries and selling companies fleets
for the greater part, and in every in
stance they are giving full satisfac.

sold to oil companies as freely as we
have of late years, It is safe to as.
