BENEFITS OF MOTOR TRUCKS
Cross-country Hauling Again Has Be-
como Widely Used for inter-
City Transportation.

An even century ago transportation
interests conferred on Wheeling, w.
Va. That year saw the Cumberland
road-the wagon highway planned as
dominating factor in leading settlers
to the great West-completed as far
as the outlying town on the Ohio. Fiji
teen years later the road had been ex-
tended to Columbus: in another decade
1t crossed the Indiana state line.
Then came the steam railway. With
the arrival of this new transportation
colossus, interest in the Cumberland
and other highways waned rapidly.
Road building all but stopped. long
distance hauling by highway stopped,
too.
And now, after three-quarters of a
century, cross-country hauling again
has become a widely recognized form
of inter-city transportation. The pow
erful, big load motor truck again has
ushered in the highway as an impor-
tant part of our national transporta-
ton system.
