and still make it more profitable for
the farmer
Volume of business in dollars and
cents is usually the criterion of profit
on an enterprise. If we furnish bet
ter and quicker transportation to our
rural districts it will add greatly to
the wealth of the country as a whole,
while we stimulate an increased pro-
duction and bring the market closer
to the purchaser.
When we realize that the farmer is
the only big business man who is force d
to supply his own transportation, and
this rarely on an economical basis, we
can see the great fields that are open
to rural development. The motor ex-
press lines of the future will make a
shipping platform of every farmers
gate.
Other industries are being benefited
and benefited greatly. Even now, in
the Far West trucks are boring their
way into the forest, and, with the aid
of trailers, bearing off the logs to the
mills, and lumbermen have reported as
high as so per cent saving over any
other method. Packing companies have
begun to transport fresh meat in huge
refrigerator trucks. Livestock is being
brought to market in Omaha, ST. Louis
and Cincinnati. Instances Of the util-
ity Of motor trucking could be multi
piled indefinitely.

F. Fl. Akers. sales manager of the

parts of the country where rural motto,

Mr.. Akers, "there are. apparently
some wrinkles that must be ironed out
before the system will operate entirely
successfully. A rural express com

may eventually have to be created in
each state to control the situation;
tariffs that will have to be established
and better protected roads. if not bet

This spirit of give-andt met with
such an enthusiastic reception from the

turned to q discussion of the relations
existing between factory and agent.

Big Pneumatics
Save Wear and
Tear ON Trucks
Nine.Year Experience of the
u. S. Tire Co. With Fac
tory Vehicle Seems to
Prove This To Be the Case

How pneumatic tires save trucks
finds illustration in the fact that the
first truck ever equipped with big
pneumatics by the United States Tire
Company is still in heavy service.
In 1910 the United States Tire Com
pany began experimenting with big
pneumatics at its Detroit factory, and
late IN that year a giant tire was
evolved that promised satisfactory re-
suits. A Reliance truck owned by the
company was equipped with the tires,
and tire historians may eventually
declare that these were the first giant
pneumatics ever used.
This truck. which has been saved
from many bumps and knocks by its
equipment of big pneumatics, is still
giving satisfactory service at the
Kitchener plant of the Dominion Tire
Company, the Canadian subsidiary of
ne United States Tire Company.
Following up the experiments be-
gun IN 1910, the United States Tire
company developed the huge nobby
cord. Long tests with these tires sub
s.antiate the claims of the company
.nat tneir use means big saving to
sne tsuck owner IN gasolene, oil and
wear and tear. The pneumatics make
possible for trucks to attain q speed
which will, in the near future, bring
ABOUT many radical changes in truck
construction.
:, One feature of the use of the giant
.A,ooby Cord truck pneumatic tires is
'ae ease with which tires may be
enanged. A skilled driver can take off
damaged tire and put on another as
quickly as in changing passenger car
The United States Tire Company
recommends imitation of these big tires

the industry to get into full produc-
ton on the new schedule, although it
is in better position to resume peace
time work than the passenger car in
dustry, because truck manufacturers
generally did not take on war con-
tracts for work that was distinctly
foreign to their regular operations
Their contracts were for trucks, and
in many cases, for their regular mod
els. The time that will he occupied in
getting into full production will give
the business world opportunity to
readjust itself to the altered condi-
tons. and to also get into full activity,
thereby creating an increased market
to absorb the larger output of trucks.
Passage by Congress Of bill pro-
viding for the prompt adjustment and
payment of informal war contracts
will put large volumes Of money into
active circulation and the decision of
the War Department not to throw on
the market the military trucks bought
in this country will convince prospec-
tive purchasers that any hope of secur-
ing bargains by waiting to pick up
such trucks is vain. Commodity prices
and wages should also become stabil-
lied and put an end to any uncertainty
regarding tendency of truck prices.
Leading business men of America
are unanimous in predicting long
period of industrial and commercial
activity and prosperity, with tremend-
GUS foreign trade expansion. They
point to the depletion of stocks of raw
materials and manufactured goods
throughout the world that must be
made good, the necessity for resuming
building operations that were sus-
pended during the war, the RECONSTRUCT
ton necessary in Europe the need for
continued agricultural production on
an extended scale. the plans for large
American mercantile marine and navy,
the Importance of the rehabilitation
of their railroads, and so forth.

Business Made
Over by Using
Motor Trucks
Firestone Describes Dcsira-
bic Changes Wrought in
Commerce by the En-
ployment of Machines
By Harvey S. Firestone

To manufacturers, the motor truck
Of to-day is as important unit of
their production facilities as the very
machines which make their goods The
use of the motor truck has wrought
changes In every department Of their
business and has done much to increase
their production capacities and to lower
their overhead expenses.
Let US compare the cost of horse
transport with that of motor ship
ments. When the manufacturer was
wholly dependent on the former
method he either had to hire his horses
by the day or else he had to maintain
horses and stables Of his own. The
latter course entailcd quite en- outlay
IN buildings and drivers II involved
the use of a large amount Of valuable
floor space for horses, wagons, repair
and paint shops. Furthermore, there
had to be blacksmith shop as we'll as
lofts for hay and grain
When he had made all this invest
ment, what did the manufacturer have t?
He had nothing better than slow-mov-

ing to a point where we could produce
this type of truck to complete our
line" is the explanation of Garvin
DENLY, president of the company. 1.-THE
question was whether to build q light
truck or one Of the specifications of
the '27,' and after exhaustive tests we
decided in favor of the more costly of
the two. because of its attainments in
hard going.
"To give the new three and one-half
ton truck a test that would enable the
engineering department to eliminate all
\of the bugs in the experimental mod
els we shipped them to Oregon, where
for three months they hauled wheat.
The trip was through hub-deep sand,
up steep grades and down hills. which
thoroughly tested both power and con-
troll. Harder work could not have been
assigned, the performance with over
load being such that the perfected '27,
to my mind, is a notable triumph of
engineering skill and manufacturing
precision"
A feature is the variable frame
length that can be supplied, so that
this truck is adaptable to any class of
body, from the long vans to the com
pact dump bodies. The loading space
is as great as that of fve-ton truck
and the speed is greater.
One of the particular fields for which
the "27" is designed is intercity haul
ing. Owing to the lighter weight it
will carry about all the load the aver
age road will stand while its speed
makes it desirable in this service. Also
it is peculiarly adapted for general
construction and contractors work and
the distribution of coal.
This new model completes the DENLY
line, which ranges from one to five
tons canacitY.

ing paraphernalia, and turned to motor
trucks for his means of transport, he
was able for the first time to get the
transportation end Of his business
down to an efficient working basis.
where haulage cost per mile could be
determined accurately.
Some startling facts were revealed.
1t was apparent, that, on the average,
one motor truck would do the work of
from three to four wagons, and do it
more quickly In this way alone there
was effected n tangible saving at the
start represented by the cost of extra
drivers, horses, and wagons, as we'll as
the facilities necessary for their main
tenance The manufacturer further
observed that he could house and care
for a fleet Of motor trucks in less than
half the space and with far less labor
than that required for the same num-
Der Of wagons with a relative tonnage
The capacity of the truck for work
is unlimited. There is no limit to
what it can do. and the limit of where
1T can go is determined only by the
condition of the roads. You can and
should exact duties from your truck
that are entirely beyond the potentiali-
ties of horse and wagon transporta-
ton. You can give your trucks new
transportation duties, wider radius,
and special responsibilities that no
other transportation method can as
sumo.
One year ago highway transport had
arrived nationally, the few of US knew
it. 1t took the war to wake US up
10 its possibilities. To-day it is known,
discussed, praised, criticised, encour-
aged, and every month sees it grow
in volume. In five years there will
be network Of rural express lines
on all the main highways of this coun-
try that will cut down the cost Of
food, increase the quantity Of food,
