ruin SOLID TIRES
BY Overlooking

Many men Of moderate means who
have bought motor trucks during the
war period and have gone into the
transportation business have had lit
tie training or experience IN truck
operation and, because OF this fact.
incur heavy expenses unneeessariIy-
expenses which the experienced truck
owner would be sure to avoid.
To these men who are new to the
trucking business the United States
Tire Company. a. It's most important
word OF advice, says: sAvoid over
loading your truck. because too heavy
load means ruined tires."
More solid tires 20 to the scrap
heap prematurely because OF over
loading than for any other reason A
good solid tire II constructed to give
Its full value In miles. and q quick
and sure way to cut down this mile
age II to put too heavy q load on the
truck. A team Of horses may ocea-
sionally be called on to carry q load
which seems too heavy for them and
not be injured Some truck owners
think they can call ON their solid
tires to carry an overheavy load oe-
casionally In the same way. but In
this they make . mistake. When
once a solid tire Is fattened out be-
cause OF overloading, Il is ruined.
The overloading may occur tha very
nrst time the tire II used. and instead
OF giving the thousands Of miles
which q well-constructed solid tire
should give the tires usefulness IL
spoiled at the outset

HOOVER IN PRAISE
OF MOTOR TRUCKS

Proof that motor truck transpor-
tation OF foods, especially farm and
dairy products. is recognized as a
great national service by the Food
Administration, Is indicated in q let
ter written to the highways trans
port committee by Food Administra-
tor Herbert c. Hoover.
In the letter he states that such
transportation facilities are in line
with progress and should rebound to
the benefit OF the producer in re-
lieving the railroads, and that this
means OF transportation should IA
cilitate delivery, conserve labor. con-
serve foodstuffs and should affect de-
livery OF foods in better condition.
THAT motor truck transportation
does benefit the producer is proven
by the fact that in nearly every
instance where motor truck trans
,portation lines are established there
has been a marked increase in the
production of perishable food stuffs, !"
says W. L Kissel. secretary and
treasurer Of the KisseI Motor Car
Company.

required . fifty-mile test. It became
necessary that some scheme Be De-
vised whereby the trucks could b
tested sufficiently and at the same
time be kept on the company's prop
erty. Therefore Il was decided to
build q one-third-mile concrete track
This track has many ADVANTAGES.
The trucks are cleaner after being
tested; more trucks can be tested In a
day than In the past: insurance rates
are lower, because the tests ara mads

pany's property; and q more Uniform
standard for testing trucks under ali
weather conditions now IL possible.
