NEW MOTOR TRUCK
 TO BE SHOWN HERE
Tour Wheel Drive to be Demonstrated
 for Benefit of Manufac-

H. A. Sherwood of New York, repre- senting the United Four Wheel Drive 8rruck corporation of Chicago and #Port Jefferson l.. l., is in this city making arrangements to give a three Hays demonstration of the United -Four Wheel Drive Truck here 'tomor- row, Friday and Saturday. Garage smen and manufacturers have been asked to present their trucking ques- 1tfons to him and he stands willing to send his truck over any road or up .any grade that may be selected. The big machine will be exhibited on the Gas companys lot adjacent to the post office Mir. Sherwood or Fl. R. Morris will be at the Hotel Beloin for two weeks to confer with manufacturers on their traffic problems.
 Tested by United States Government.
 The United Four Wheel Drive truck lis a comparatively new thing in the motor market, but this truck has just been returned 10 the owners by the United States governm cnt after a series of tests which extended over a period of II weeks. In the final rating the truck had the high average of 96 per gent. which is considered very high Already the government has given the company some contracts and in ad- dition, MT. Sherwood states, has Stipu- lated that all fOur-drVe trucks of any make. manufactured for gOvernm ent purposes, shall be equipped with the tWo-Wheel steering device invented by the United company.
 The truck to be exhibited here is
 the same one that the government
 1sed in it's Il weeks tests and, the
 agent says, has not been repaired in
 any way except the equipment of new tires.
