STANM He ADS
OAKLAND AGENCY
Place Truck Man in Charge
of Company and Plans
to Expand Business.

Raymond B. stamm, who has been
in charge OF international truck sales
for the Oakland Auto Sales company
for the past year, was appointed man
ager OF the company, last Monday, in
succession to R. C. Waters. who re-
signed to return to San Antonio and
enter business for himself.
Mr.. Stamm is no stranger to the
motorists Of FL Paso or the south
west He was connected with the fac
tory organization Of the International
truck for several years and made his
headquarters at Albuquerque up to
two years ago. when he was trans
ferred to Denver. He operated out of
Denver until he came to FL Paso. In
Albuquerque, Mr.. Stamm won a repu-
tation as a thorough sportsman and
was one Of the charter members Of
the New Mexico Game association.
I'm not going TO take the world by
the tail and give IL a swing" said Mr..
Stamm. but I believe that the Oak
land Auto Sales company has been
firmly established in FL Paso and It
will now be up to me to see that It
continues to grow. We will continue
to handle bort, Oakland and National
cars and International trucks and will
make q feature OF service"
The Oakland company recently
opened a battery station and ". Kill
gour is now in charge OF the cleo
trical work for the company.

MAKE ALL SHORT
HAULS BY TRUCK
Tiemeier Says the Railroad
Cars Would Be Released
for the Long Hauls.

Railroads are absolutely unable TO
handle the traffic and the problem
must be solved by motor truck trans
representative Of the United States
Motor Truck company when inter
viewed recently. There is only one
solution" continued Mr.. Tiemeier.
''and that is to compel the motor
truck to do as much OF the nations
freight carrying as possible. The
quickest road to this success is going
to be an absolute embargo on all
short haul freight Let the motor
truck take care Of all freight within
20 to so miles or even a greater dis
lance from all cities. The railroads
Will then be able to concentrate On
long hauls. There viii be thus
stopped much Of the constant stopping
and of the shunting OF freight cars
There must be a full stop placed
age houses on sidings- The compelling
Of haulage by motor trucks from
every section within rs to 90 miles
or even longer distances from cities,
by motor truck would do much to cor
rect an evil that is piling up thou
sands Of freight cars within the large
cities, and the environs Of large
cities. The short haul freight is the
most expensive handled by the rail-
roads. Conditions will be remedied
once and for all time through the
motor truck when the railroads put a
stop to many abuses that exist at
present With government control OF
railroads, 1 believe that this will be
accomplished, and the motor truck
will come into its own and save the
nation in these times OF peril
Cost OF hauling by motor truck
has been steadily reduced and Is now
extremely low. The motor truck is
now more economical for short haul, |
than is the freight train, and the
adopting OF tbs rule to bar demur- /
rage, and the clogging Of railway sid !
ings would save the country q great
deal and correct evils which. existing |
today, are menace to every living /
person
This change Is going TO come
the one who is placing his order right /
now. Even though he does not want /
delivery until later the order should /
be placed for with the adoption of the 4
short haul freight rule the business
man Is going to be caught mapping at 4
a time when he Will have to have /
plenty Of trucks to care for his bust
ness or suffer through his oversight
II Is good horse sense for the busi
ness man to protect himself, and 1
believe that every truck salesman
should do everything within his power
70 show business men the benefits of
the motor truck, and the benefits or
for q future condition
v hich is certain to arise through the
