The Trailer Solves the
Transportation Problem

Motor Trailers of today are based
on the age-old principle that a man or
beast of burden can pull moro than he
can carry on his back. This prlne'pie
dates back to the time when the say
age nan first carried a load on two
sticks tied to the back of his morse
with the free ends trailing on ihee
ground. This was the beginning OF
fbe first trailer. This crude oontriv-
ance in turn preceded one of ih9 great
est inventions of all ages, the wheel
which enabled the animal to pull many
times what he could carry. For cen
turies all animal transportation has
been carried on with animal tractors
and wheeled trailers'
The invention Of steam as a pro-
nelling force of locomotives and long
trains Of freight or passenger cars and
FOR the tug boat with the barges, was
hut step in the development OF the
tractor and trailer in which the pIlh-
ciple remains the same.
When the motor-propelled passenger
yebic1e became a commercial reallty'
owing TO the development of compare
lively light power plants ana the m
yention of the differential gearing, IT
was Lut another step to the tractor OF
today. - IN.
