GOOD ROADS MEAN
BETTER BUSINESS
Every Line of EndeaVOr
Clearly Shows Advantages

There is a worthy movement on
foot for better roads Every bust
ness man, every home provider, and
every motorist should support it.
Good roads benefit ali classes Of peO-
pie in their everyday life.
This vast country has grown so
enormously and SO fast that its rail-
roads cannot deliver the goods. nor
carry the people as the prosperity
OF the country and present demands
require.
with good roads the farmer can
deliver all his products direct to
towns within a radius OF so or more
miles and though making more profit
himself. he Is reducing the high
cost OF living.
The merchant IS able 20 take ad-
vantage OF new sources OF supply, to
buy his stock under favorable con
ditions. and give il on sale to his
customers in less time than he could
have secured delivery by the slower
and costlier railway express and
freight service. With motor trucks
ne can then redeliver to his custo-
mers and give better service over a
larger territory, and increase his
profits
Millions OF dollars are lost every
year through perishable goods spoil
ing on the railroads because of
freight delays and complications. In
tercity motor express over distances
Of a hundred or more miles has al
ready become a profitable business
where good roads exist Single
large firms have actually saved over
$4,000 yearly by using motor
trucks and they viii undoubtedly
contribute largely TO organized i'm
provement OF roads.
Good roads are a paying invest
ment. Local authorities in cities,
towns and counties should act with
out delay 20 meet the growing ma
tional and local demands before
trade goes In other directions. IL is
almost impossible 90 get back the
lost advantage after other districts
have won IT.
GOOD roads bring automobiiists.
They spend money. Good roads
bring trade. and increase property
