TRUCKS MAY SOLVE
PROBLEM Of HOMES

Homeless Americans-thousand OF
hem in nearly every part Of this
Eountry-are walking the streets.
eagerly watching for a vacant house
Or even few rooms in which they
may live. As a result Of this COndi-
ton we are witnessing one OF the
most staggering building programs
In the history of this country pro-
gram that is compelling the contrac-
tors to use every known device that
makes for efficiency in building and
one in which the motor truck looms
up as the greatest aid in the trans
portation Of this vast volume of
building materials.
The homeless, in their mad desire
10 get a home, or a room. are resort
ing to every known method that will
bring results. They are bribing
rental agents and offering fabulous
rents for any kind of dwelling that
affords shelter.
The appeal Of these homeless peo-
PIE is becoming almost as pathetic as
those in the war torn countries. The
seriousness of this problem can easily
be visualized when we see people liv-
ing in tents, hOuseboats, and prac-
tiCally every imaginable Shanty that
affords shelter from the sun and rain.
This condition requires the immedi-
ate erection Of thousands of homes
and buildings. To do this, and effec-
lively meet the on-rUsh of building
progress, il is no longer safe for the
contractors to rely upon the horse
drawn vehicle for their delivery of
materials. for blaming the delays on
old methods is not a very acceptable
excuse when the men who let out
these contracts know that fleet Of
good motor trucks will fulfill this de-
mand for quick deliveries day after
day.
If more homes and buildings must
be built each day, the eXcavating
must be carried out faster-more
brick-more steel-more lumber AM

SAYS PEACE WILL

That the signing Of the peace treaty
will cause increased buying of motor
trucks. is the opinion OF W. L. Kissel.
secretary and treasurer of the KisseI
Motor Car Company.

business that came to American in
dustries with the signing OF the arm

I'VE must not forget that there are

which has been going on since No

will be the rebuilding Of the factories
and supplying equipment necessary to
put these factories on a production
basis. Here is a large market for
American made supplies, materials,
and equipment. When these factories

plaster must be delivered each day.
otherwise this task will not be &C
COmplished: but the contractor can
overcome this situation by placing
good. reliable motor trucks to work
on his delivery equipment. instead Of
wasting time with the old methods.
Some of the most successful building
contractors in the country have been
farsighted enough to see this cOndi-
ton. They have availed themselves
of the more efficient delivery utility
and now their motor trucks haul the
steel, the brick, the tile. the cement,
the lumber and the plaster from
which the homes, factories, offices
and buildings are fashioned. Look at
their delivery equipment and you will
find that il ranges from a light truck
for small fixtures to the pOnderous
dump body type for the giant load.
Having decided that the motor
truck is the logical servant TO meet
this bigger, quicker and more eff
cient delivery demand, the next prob
lem is the selection of bodies that
will be of the greatest value to the
contractor. One of the Paige truck
dealers who is in touch with all the
building contractors in a large city,
and makes a study of their needs, has
this TO say regarding the most SER
viceable type of body for construc-
tion work:
THE contractors are making a big
demand for 80 ton trucks equipped
with the hoist type dump bodies, as
they are realizing that this type of
body permits a much wider use in
building construction work, because
it is adapted to almost any kind Of
building materials"

Removable Partitions.
In case, however, there is a sudden
demand of a large number of small
shippers. the company's fleet IS so
built with removable partitions like
ship bulkheads, which will divide the
three-ton trucks capacity into, two
or three sections, making three de-
liveries to three addresses possible
with a single load. These bull1heads,
also are used when a consumer buys

coal, as for furnace banking or kitch-
en- range.
The company's statistics on saving
in coal delivery costs by the installa-
ton of motorized equipment are not
available to the ordinary public. 1t
can be said. however. that the mo-
tOrization of the delivery department
made such a saving in labor casts and
time of delivery, that the fleet prac-
tically paid for itself the first year.
This was a case where the fleet was
installed in big units, the first con-
tract being for fifteen trucks and the
experience OF one year resulted in
the sale the following year of practi-
cally all the company's old horse
drawn wagons.

carried ore from the mines to the
steel MILL and from the steel mill door
to the points of utilization and con-
sumption.
Then there will be trucks which are
filling that alI-important duty of car
rying foodstuffs from the farm to the
market. The trucks are in a service
which proved so important during the
war when, with the railroads over
bUrdened, they saved the situation
and brought milk and other perish
able foodstuffs in great bulk into the
cities of Baltimore and Washington,
so that the added masses of people in
the Capital district might have food.
Then, again, trucks with bodies for
carrying live stock will be in line.
Through this type of truck the stock
yards of the country are receiving
their great bulk of cattle, hogs and
sheep. For instance. to show you how
this form of transportation is grow
ing, there were shipped into the
Omaha stock yards in the first nine
months of 1917, 52.129 hogs. For the
same period in 1918 this had increased
to 142, 22O hogs. an increase of 30 per
cent. From July to September. 1917,
there were shipped 12.1S9 head OF
cattle, while this had increased to
/ .6S1 for the same period the year
following.
The Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Louis
willie and Kansas City markets receive
a large proportion of their hogs by
motor trucks.
The economy comes when one truck
hauls one or more trailers. Recently
one motor truck, running from Dali
las, Tex, to Farmersville, hauling
four trailers, carried seventy head of
sheep. seventeen head of steers-net
weight $500 pounds-over a distance
Of thirty miles, twenty-five miles OF
which was over black land roads.

SAYS POOR ROADS MAKE
THE LONGEST ROUTES

"A good road is the shortest route
between starting point and destina-
ton" says G. c. Frey, of the Kissel
Motor Car Co.
Likewise, a poor road is the long
est. If motor-truck owners don't be-
Iieve it, figure up the difference in
time, labor gas, oil, and last, but
far from least, depreciation on the
truck, after covering both routes.
THE result you get is the best
reason why poor roads are our great
est liability and likewise why good
roads will prove our greatest asset.

MOTOR TRUCK KING
IN DISTRICT TODAY

Washington is in line with our other
leading cities in browning the motor
truck king of the highways, and to-
day the people of this city will turn
out to witness one of the most inter-
esting parades that has ever passed
through its streets.
Motor truck dealers Of the Federal
Capital have perfected plans. which
will present the latest utility for
transporting our commerce from the
source to the point of consumption.
according to +. w. Fem, secretary OF
the motor truck committee of the Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce.
The various departments of the
United States Government have ar
ranged to enter hundreds of motor
trucks, while new vehicles of every
design and old veterans that have
done duty in long-distance transporta-
tion will present a contrast which
will be interesting.
