FIFTEEN DEALERS ENTER SHIP-BY-TRUCK RUN
INDICATIONS ARE
EXPEDITION WILL
BE BIG SUCCESS

Realizing the educational value of a
ship-by-truck expedition similar to the
successful one recently staged by the
ST. Louis dealers, Memphis truck deal
ers, practically all Of them, have en-
tered the local project scheduled for
the latter part Of August, with a vim
and enthusiasm that portends one OF
the most successful runs" of its kind
that has yet been staged in the South.
Fifteen representative dealers, having
the interests of the trade at heart, have
signed up TO participate in educational
expeditions into Mississippi, West Ten
nessee and Arkansas, II the weather
permits. Committees appointed at a re-
cent meeting Of the truck men are busy
on their respective tasks of listing the
personnel, mapping our routes and ar
ranging for speakers n receptions In
the various towns that are TO be Wis
tied.
Advance literature explaining the
ship-by-truck project ana what 1t means
to both the producer and the consumer
Is being prepared and attention-com-
pelling posters have been ordered drawn
for display throughout the trade ter
ritory contiguous to the city,
Within another 10 days the entire
project will be we'll under way.
The dealers have agreed on an en-
try fee OF $50 from each firm, which
win entitle the firm to as many trucks
In the expedition as Is desired. The
money Is to be used to defray general
expenses, and any remainder Is to be
RELATED. Each dealer signs a pledge
TO participate and to abide by the rules
and regulations of the expedition, which

TRANSPORTATION IN
EUROPE BREAKS DOWN

According TO Frank A. Nanderlip be-
fore the senate foreign relations conf
nlttee. the breakdown of t~ransporta-
ZION is one Of the most serious difficult
Ties IN Europe, says G.. G.. Frey, OF the
hlssel Motor Car company.
MIR Nanderlip gives rs the u for
thus unusual situation the fact that the
locomotives Of Europe were worn out
before their time, owing to the pressure
OF war transportation, when repairs and
requirements were not made as In nor
nal times.
To start European industries the
railroads must be supplied with rolling
stock~engines and cars-and the Unit
ed states is in the hest position to fur
nlsh equipment at the best and shortest
delivery time.
This will mean that not only will
this foreign buying take equipment that
could he used ON American railroads to
good advantage, but the increased work
Tor the steel mills, locomotive and car
building companies will create a bigger
demand for motto trucks.
1t is my opinion that American bust
ness concerns should immediately pro-
vide ample moter truck equipment for
their transportation departments to
avoid serious defayr. as the industrial
arteries Of any country are Its trans
portaton facilities"
