the bank and Tuesday it was re-
turned to Hickey Bros. There was
no such depositor. Neither was

DRIVERS COMFORT
 MEANS EFFICIENCY

The country can i'll afford to have it's transportation equipment curtailed, lr- respective of the severity of the tenn ncraiurc or the next six months. Every motor truck must be made use of or oisc we are going to have to contend wifh Inc same conditions that marked last winter. This does not only pertain fa setting the goods to shipping point for overseas, but particularly in taking care or the country's daily shipping requirements. We do not want to ex- perfCnce heatlcss days, but if we do not prepare. we may not only have haatlcss days. but if we do not pre- pare. we may not only have heatless days. but catless days. Every city is uof a manufacturing center. Every city is not in close proximity to those agri- cultural districts which supply vege- tables. milk. eggs. etc. In some cities. these supplies have to be transported into tho city. and with the railroads up fo their necks taking care of the gov crnmonts requirements, it is up to the motor truck Co get these supplies to their destination.
 During the last six months indus trial America has had to rely to a great extent on the motor truck to transport the eoods and supplies necessary not only In the everyday life and work of the country. but to help keep the ships loaded with supplies and necessary equipment for the American army over Erae
 Just how much of the country's transportation burden the motor truck has assumed is difficult to say, but it hns become apparent that there is not onc-fifth the number of motor trucks now in operation which could be made use of I doubt if there are 5O0,000 motor trucks in the country for com mercial purposes. This amount alone is not onc-half enough for the transpor- tstion Of our agricultural crops this year. let alone the thousands upon thousands of commercial houses that depend almost entirely on their motor truck for transportation purposes.
 since last winter, the country's manufacturing facilities have un- douhtedly been doubled. This means that twice as much goods, material,

It was natural for us to apply the same principles of design and con- struction in perfecting the all-year cab that made the all-year car a success. We knew that it would have to be in- terchangeable, because a closed cab in summer would be just as disagreeable to the driver as an open cab in winter.
 Through the exclusive construction of the all-year cab, no matter how se-

was done to protect the drivers in win ter weather, the utility of the motor truck was cut short just that much. In examining the records by companies operating motor trucks for freight haulage purposes we found that the usefulness of the motor truck declined from 100 per cent service during the spring and summer months, to 40 and 30 per cent in the winter.
