FARMERS BIGGEST USERS
OF COMMERCIAL CARS

The biggest users of commercial We.
hicles in the United States are not the
merchants or the manufacturers, but
the farmers. Statistics given the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber company show that
trucks engaged in the hauling of grain
produce, truck and live stock in the
rural districts head the list with 49,
7S9 during 1917 Next rank manufae-
turers with 65,92S, and then retailers
with 64,4s6. According to the figures
there are 23s commercial vehicle manu-
facturers in the United States. 10000
trucks were made during 1917, and il
is estimated that the 1918 production
will go over the 100000 mark.
