FULTON TRUCK 4
PRODUCT Of WAR

Remarkable revolutions along eco
monte political and industrial lines
have been brought about by the war
Agricultural countries have become
great producers OF manufactured pro-
ducts. while Industrial nations. like
England who have been dependent
upon the rest Of the world for food.
have turned their energies to the
farm. importing nations have become
exporters and vice versa, in short.
hardly q nation, community, line OF
business or individual that has not felt
the revolutionizing influence of the
war.
One Of the most complete reversals
Of the usual order Of things Ia the
tendency OF manufacturers to special
ize and standardize. Great Industrial
institutions that had always made a
great variety of things in a great va
riety Of sizes, shapes, colors, qualities
and at A. wide range of prices, soon
discovered the economy of standardiz-
Ing. One Of the most recent changes

OF the sizes and shapes of tires.
notable example OF specializing
manufacturer Ia the Fulton Motor
Truck company, OF Farmingdale. L. T.
The Fulton company has been special
izing on q truck Of one and a half tons
capacity An exhaustive investigation
was made by William Melhuish, pres
ident of the company, to determine
what size was IN greatest demand. II
was found that so per cent OF the de-
msnd was for trucks of one TO two
tons capacity.
We have never had occasion 70 re.
gret our decision to specialize on the
one size, SAYS MIR. Melhuish. BY
reducing the number of parts we have
been able not only to make it easier
for the truck owner to obtain repair
parts, but we have been able to reduce
the cost of production materially. The
truck buyer received the benefit of
this reduced cost of production by the
lower selling price of the truck"
This year the Fulton Motor Truck
company will build 1000 trucks which
will be distributed by more than a
hundred distributors in various parts
Of the country.
