RAILROAD SPURHED By
TRUCK MANUFACTURER


Some time ago, when the railroads
were 90 short of cars that tFafhc was
badly congested. we were badly ln
need Of aXles for cur trucks" says
A. g. Burch. vice president of the
Clyde Cars Company, clyde. Ohio.
so we took one of our trucks and
sent 20 % the Tlmkon Detroit Axle
Company, Detroit. The trip was 90
successful that we have hauled al1 cur
own aEle8 ever since, and nnd that o.
g cheaper and more convenient than
shipping BY railroad
Every month sees an Increase Oh
the amount Of freight that g shipped
BY motor transport, and the time is
coming when the great majority Of
short haul8 win be carried BY motor
trucks.
1--WE believe the railroads viii vel
come this, as they make more money
on longer hauls and it would save
tielng up cars for short hauls. Trafdc
would move faster and cheaper"

Of fun Of that Ford machine, but az

the Ford cars are not only fast but
that they have staying qualities as
well They should have been used
in getting the soldiers across the

has stopped many Of the high priced
Boats the little Ford didn't even
hesitate One Of the most aPlusing
sights. Of the trip-I believe that g
was the only one-Was Watchiug y

was q hard Job. Every time be gave

N. Y. TOENCOURAGE
RURAL TRUCK LINES

The establishment Of motor truck
express lines through rural sections
Of the State, where farmers are having
most difficulty in getting their per
ishable produce quickly to markets, is
to be sponsored by q commission aD-
pointed Saturday by Governor Smith,
Of which former Representative Peter
G. Ten Eyck, Of Albany, is chairman.
The governors reconstruction COM
mission found that in many cases
farmers were unable to get their
goods to New York markets as quick
ly as Florida shippers, who had the
beneht of direct express service. Il
was stated thaGzthe railroads have
little interest in locdl freight busi-
ness, and that farmers with small
shipments for short hauls found their
goods delayed. The commission esti-
mated that 90 per cent Of the perish
not get to market.
Serve without Pay.
The committee will work through
farmers organizations and munici-
pal officials to encourage the opening
OF truck routes. No State appropria-
ton will be asked for the present.
With Mr.. Ten Eyck on the committee
are Frederick S. Green, State commits
sioner OF highways; Professor Boyle,
Of the State College Of Agriculture;
William =. Dana, chairman Of the
council Of farms and markets, and
F. W. Fem. Of the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, all serv-
ing without salary.
In favor OF the motor express lines
it was said that the delivery Of food
~ h.a HnHrn al
at three-hfths the cost Of railroad 1
deliveries, aside from the gain in /
speed. Rural truck lines are now /
operated successfully between Dead /
wood, S. D., and Sundance, Wyo, /
making the run iu six hours, against 1
railroad delivery requiring three to 1
fve days. In all there are about 900 1
motor lines OF this sort operated /
throughout the country.
In California, where good roads are 4
in evidence wherever one goes, motor 4
haul business as II has never been
handled before.
Run On Regular Sehedule.
Hundreds Of motor truck lines,
carrying every known commodity,
are running on q regular schedule
back and forth between the cities and
the small villages and farms. They
are regulated as the railways are and )
have been found so valuable that they
cast themselves into the mold Of /
public necessity now and forever.
In the oil fields they are q Godsend,
according to large operators around
Bakersfield and other places, because
these lines are giving the most eco
nOmical service and doing IL quicker
than it was done before.
At the farm OF Frank Gilbert, at 4
Iowa Falls, Iowa, four motor trucks,
a part OF the national motor truck
development train, which 81 covering I
5000 mile tour through six Of our
western States, In an endeavor to
educate the farmer, cleared q thirty
i've acre patch of oats and wheat IN !
three hours. The motor trucks went |
in and relieved about ten horse teams
and hauled the grain in sheaf one and
One-half miles from the field to the
thresher and hauled the grain to un-
loading point.
The trucks displaced ten horses and
about fifteen men. It would have
taken twelve hours to have cleared
the field with ten horse teams.

MORE TRUCKS NEEDED AS
RAILROAD CARS INCREASE

Even with the railroads putting
into daily service 900 freight cars,
more motor trucks are being used
every day for transportation purposes
than ever before" says g. c. Frey, Of
the. Kissel Motor Car Company.
This proves how the transportation
demands Of the country are increas-
ing every day and that without the
motor truck to absorb the freight the
railroads are unable to carry, there
would, indeed, be a chaotic tFanspOFta-
ton condition in the country today"
