TRUCKING ASSOCIATIONS
HELP TRANSPORTATION

That transportation by truck has
come to take its place alongside Of
transportation by railroad is Indicated
by the organization Of truck transport
tation associations in several of the
larger cities, says Haul-Age, the new
dealer publication of the Garford Motor
Truck company.
These association have been founded
by carriage and storage concerns who
utilize the motor truck in their daily
business.
The purpose of the associations Is 10
promote and further In an organized,
systematic manner, transportation by
truck. Among their chief and initial
objects is the establishment OF inter-
city truck systems and rural express
lines.
The associations by means OF CEN

tent, the possibilities Of an idle truck.

The offices. which serve as the nerve
centers for local truck activities are
being established in prominent down
town locations. Records, operated on
the registry book system and contain
ing data on all trucks available each
DAY, are kept on |blaCRhOaruS In the
offices where they are accessible at all
times.
Through this plan merchants and
manufacturers may obtain immediate
trucking service by a single call instead
Of being forced possibly to cali the
several trucking concerns within the
city.
The plan therefore works not only to
the mutual benefit OF the members, but

In better ratio to the exceptional high
power of the Stephens perfected over

been heightened four inches and now
stretches a full 1872 inches. The frame
Is made correspondingly stronger and

RAILROAD STATION OF
FUTURE MAY Be GARAGE

That the railroad station of the flu
ture may be either entirely a garage
or that it will contain a space set
aside for motor truck trains was a
statement made by w. E. Symons, rail
road expert. at a meeting of the New
York Railroad club.
Discussing the suggestion that the
time was at hand when the railroads
should seriously consider the policy OF
short-line feeders for motor truck trans
portstion, where the former has been
conducted at a loss in the past, Mr.,
Symons said:
ut is well known that on branch
lines. particularly at the extreme end
of the branch line, the railroad com
pany is usually required to spend a
great deal of money for a passenger
station, freight depot, roundhouse,
yards, t%urn-table, water tank and other
terminal facilities, expenses which as
q rule are far in excess of what the
volume Of business would warrant. Lo-
cal price prompts the citizens to re-
quest or demand that the buildings be
Of a character that win conform to the
general style of architecture in the
town, and, as a rule, they are much
larger than should be required for the
volume Of business handled.
by the use OF motor trucks the
termina facilities would practically
consist Of what might be called a garage
for the motor trucks with a very lin
tied amount of labor employed. This
would consist of a mechanic Or two.
The depot facilities could be very lin :
tied as 1t could be easily arranged with
In a reasonable radius Of the Center
OF the town to deliver passengers car
fied to their homes, possibly providing
a slight extra charge where their resi-
dence or point of delivery was some
considerable distance from the station.
This would also be true with re-
spect to freight which could be on the
basis of warehouse door delivery which
would materially reduce the expenses
on the part of the transportation COM
pany and give the patrons much bet
fer service"

HOW TO PROVE TRUCK
COSTS LESS THAN HORSE

In proving that trucks are less ex-
p~ensive than horses, first find out the
annually. Now the figures are that
II costs 20 cents a mile per ton for
hauling by horse and II cents q mile
per ton for truck hauling.
Suppose the average farmer has $50
tons OF produce to owe II would
cost him s101 so to move the $50 tom
one mile or s406 for moving $50 tons
four miles, the average distance be-
tween farms and the market. BY truck
this would cost him at II cents a mile
$3S. so or 1854 for the four miles. The
difference In costs, 1852, represents 10
per cent Of an investment Of So, $50.
Perhaps. II is best before presenting
this mathematical proposition to the
farmer TO lead him to admit that he Is
trying to conduct his farm on sound
business principles. That will make 1t
easier for you to show him that he Is
losing money every day on his hay
consuming horses.
