Winter Trips Establish
GarfOrd Trucks Depend
able Freight Haulers

Naturally, we as manufacturers
of Garford trucks have known their
great possibilities as dependable
freight haulers for some years." said
e. A. Williams, president of the
Garford Motor Truck Company in
telling of some of the gruelling
tests to which they had put these
trucks for a number of years.
But in the recent long runs over
blocked roads in freezing
weather we have again proved their
stamina and dependability as freight
haulers," William continued. 1--WE
have shipped cars from the plant in
Lima, Ohio. to far eastern points.
Whole fleets of Garfords have been
sent overland, loaded with Garford
chassis for our distributors and deal
ers over the country. The numbing
cold has. not affected their perform
ance in the least, nor has it lessened
the drivers comfort to any great
degree, owing to the cabs on the
trucks which can be snugly enclosed.
ITO set up a basis of comparison,
between freight shipment and truck
delivery, have considered the ave-
rage time required to make deliveries
by rail and find that slow move
ment of freight cars, coupled with
terminal delays, easily makes it pos
sible for the motor truck to render
superior delivery service.
ANY shipper can also recognize
that with motor truck transporta-
ton, the cost of handling is reduced
by eliminating carriage to and from
freight depots.
Under average road conditions
the daily mileage of the motor truck
compares favorably with the move
ment of freight car under present
congested conditions. With i'm
proved roads naturally the radius of
action is materially increased.
This would clearly establish the
practicability of motor truck trans
port for a large area not necessarily
confined to the short haul by any
means. The cost of operating Gar
ford trucks, we find is another strong
argument in their favor. Our winter
shipments overland on trucks have
been well within freight costs and
compare favorably with express
time"
Williams said that their winter
shipments were not to be considered
in the light of experiments because
the Garford motor trucks have been
doing this class of work for many
years. 1t remains. however, for the
recent traffic congestion to prove our
national transportation system to re-
lieve the railroads from those hauls
which have occasioned congestion
at the same time in fact actually de-
creasing the cost of such movement
by eliminating wasteful delays.

KNITTING CLUB

Women of Oakland Motor
Car Co. Knit For
Soldiers

The busy click of knitting needles
is heard in the big plant of the Oak
land Motor Car Company, of Pontiac,
Michigan, every Wednesday evening
when women employees of the Office
fnd shop meet to do their modest
~bit' towards making comforts for
the soldiers and sailors called from
their midst.
1T is just added evidence" said
Andrew Redmond local Oakland
dealer, "of the determination of the
American women after the days
work is over and the engine wheels
have ceased turning out Oakland
Sensible Skies, to give that support
to strengthen the morals of the al
lied armies"
Knitting needles have been heard
there regularly once a week since
the first of the year when the
women employees of the company
organized the Oakland Motor Car
Company Knitting Club. -
While the majority of the men,
bers of the Oakland Motor Car
Company Knitting Club are stenog-

Broken Bottles, Tin Cans,

When the good people of Malville,
Chile, decide that the automobile is
menace to the community, instead
of resorting to legislative measures
which at the best is a slow and un-
satisfactory method, they take the sit
uation into their own hands and ap-
ply the remedy. At least, this was
the experience of Arturo Calvo, Chill
can distributor for the Hupp Motor
Car Corporation, when ne put in a
bus line over the mountains from
Malvillo to Cartagens, a popular
Chilean summer resort, and thereby
disrupted a comfortable monopoly en-
joyed by an organization of coach
men and mule-drivers.
Calvo fitted out a fleet Of six Hup-
mobiles with bus seats, canopied top
to protect the passengers from the
dust and sun, and luxurious cushions.

the old method several hours. He

On the second day, however, he found
that the enemy during the night had
dropped a barrage of broken bottle,
barbed wire and tincans, which he
was unable to penetrate until he had

sweepers After one or two days of

This is but one of the many in
