Hints for Developing High
way Transport Business
By WARREN B. BULLOCK,
(FOrmerly Captain, Motor Transport Corps, I. S. Al

In Western city a corporation with
millions TO spend decided TO change
its scope of operations. putting some
Of its excess capital not into dividends,
but into real estate investment. The
far-sighted head of the business de-
cided that before spending cent in
purchases of downtown frontage, in
" hich he proposed to invest mis- com
PAWS money, he would determine
he trend of traffic. Men were sent
cut to study the route by which PEG
pie from the residence sections of the
city reached the downtown retail dis
tTict Tabulations were made to learn
which routes seemed the most praC-
teal to the public.
This problem determined, ne began
buying up corners along the route
Of maximum travel. Lower prices
were paid for sites of less popular
routing, but before spending any
amount of money, this far-sighted
business man studied the trend 81
traffic.
This may seem a long way from the
problem of motor traffic on country
roads. This problem of highway
transport is essentially a problem of
this standpoint. the problem OF real
estate purchaser and the prospective
highway transport operator are iden-
teal. The real estate man wished to
learn where business was best, before
investing.
Field Must BE Selected.
The highway transport business
must first of all discover where the
business promises the best returns.
Even if the business to be started is
q small problem at the start, 1t is II
properly conceived, one which con
siders first OF all the prospects Of in
definitely extensive development
From that basis, therefore. the first
essential is 10 seek the field where
there is business to develop. The
next is to develop the business along
the lines which will best serve the
territory reached. The presumption
is that the prospective operator is
proposing to so establish his bust
ness that he will win and hold the
esteem of his possible clients. That
means first of all proper service.
Proper service will bring its own
reward. The place TO get into the
field first with highway transport sys-
TENS has in many cases been such
that operators have failed through
failure to study their field properly
A transport line with fve-ton trucks
cannot live long where the bulk of
the business is a fast express serv-
ice for perishable shipments, such as
milk or green vegetables, for the

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Admiralty

where the mine sweepers have been

There are several reasons why these
