living is bound up very closely with
the question Of transportation. The
motor vehicle can get the farmers pro
duce to the city markets earlier and
quicker through the motor truck than
is possible with horse transportation
or railroads. This saving in time also
means the saving in handling. because
under the conditions the railway .rans-
portation is made use Of it is necessary
to bring the goods to the loading plat
form, shift them from the vehicle to
the train, and later, at the terminus,
unload them into warehouse or per-
haps into waiting truck. The elimina
ton of two landings means saving
in money and should mean proper
tionate reduction in cost to the consul
mer. This is true of every sort Of
farm produce and goods, and should
tend to make living cheaper
The intracity hauls Of merchandise
Of all kinds are being accomplished
by the motor truck. The horse, as
is being banished from city streets.
Nearly every big bNsiness house, whole
sale or retail, employs either its own
fleet of vehicles or hires such other
motor trucks as are necessary. BY
means Of better developed system Of
delivery. department stores have been
able to keep the cost to the consumer
from showing terrific increases. 1t
would be possible to go on and cnum-
crate great variety Of other lines Of
business in which the truck is proving
it's worth.
It is The Tribune's intention 20 give
in detail some of the experiences of
commercial vehicle users in variety
of lines of business as far as possible
reduced to actual figures, so as to
show economies and expenditures for

Much Is Owed to
Truck Pneumatics
Broader Field of Service Has
Been Made Possible bv This
Type of Tire

The rapid advance of the motor
truck into bigger and broader field
Of service, following the adaptation Of
pneumatic tires to this new agent Of
transportation, has been one of the
marvelS Of this decade It's great
mobility and adaptabilty to nearly
every kind of service have made for it
a permanent place in the transporta-
tion world.
From it's former limitations as to
speed and cushioning qualities, the
pneumatic cord truck tire has brought
the motor truck into a class where
its capabilities Of making quick deliv-
cries Of materials in good condition
are determining factors in computing
its value.
But without a suitable rim even the
pneumatic truck tire could not have
brought the motor truck to it's present
degree Of usefulness.
Most OF the pneumatic truck tire
rims used now arc notifications oi,
rims that have been used with auto
mobile tires" states James Atkins. rim,
ber Company. present Makes" he says
"arc somewhat similar, but all are
notifications of the first Goodyear de-
tachable rim, which attained wide
spread favor because OF its depenGa-
Dilty and the ease with which it per
mitted tire changes.
with big pneumatic tires tire
changes are not so frequent as with
other tires, for the treads are thicker
and therefore withstand puncture more
easily. But when changes are neces-
sary, they can be made easily and
quickly because Of the side ring feat
ure of the detachable rim
"With the removal Of this ring, which
is used to mold the detachable part
Of the straight side rim in place, the
tire can easily be slipped off or on
AS occasion may require. This is a
most important feature and one which
has been 4 deciding factor in this rims
success.
"We have been specializing on pneu
matte truck tire rims and owe e large
part OF our success with pneumat atic
truck tires to the completeness Of our
inns. Just how they are regarded in
thc motor trUek world is indicated by
The fact that rs per cent Of the trucks
now leaving the factories on pneu-
matte truck tires start their careers
on Goodyear rims. The sdelocking
feature has now been adopted on all
steel wheels having the base of the
RIM cast as part of the wheel"
Straight side rims with this Good
year locking ring feature are now OBJ
tainable in all sizes up to 44X1O. the
truck sizes being 36x6, 38x7, 4OxS. 42x9
and 1dX1o, accommodating all capaci-

Some tires give a good account of

He pointed out for example that
though Globe fabric tire is sold on
an adjustment basis Of 5000 miles this
is no indication of what the tire ac-

of fact no mileage at all ought TO

Firestone Man Has 1t Explained

automobile tire, for instance, has be-
hind its perfection the thoughts of
thousands of men, through score of
years, in tropical rubber growing plan
tation and American manufacturing
centres.
The Firestone Company a short time
ago began placing an alternate cross and
square design on Its cord tires. E. P.
Jones. who represents the company in
this city. learned the why and where
fore of the design at the big factory
of the company at Akron recently.
II found that it takes a great deal
Of time and thought to originate
real nonskid tread for an automobile
tire said Mr.. Jones yesterday. "Thc
design of alternate crosses and squares
was adopted by our company only after
months of careful investigation, com
parison and tests.
I'm designing tread the first aim is
to produce maximum flowing of rub
Der. Success in this means cor
responding success in the amount of
traction obtained. This traction, with
due consideration to gasolene con-
servation. should hold the car to the
road. Other things being equal, the
more angles and the more lines of
contact there are, the greater is the
cross and square design has more
angles than any other tread on the
market.
Wear Is also an important consid-
Grafton The higher the edge the
stronger the bulwark raised against
the attacks Of wear and stress from
without. Because of its three projec-
tons in every row, from side to side,

The value of the cross and square

attained, resulting in uniform action

adhesion, longer wear from tread, and
extra mileage from the carcass"

Motor Trucks viii Suue
Transportation Situation
Development of Hauls of Varying Length Has Been
Rapid and Has Solved Many Problems for the
Consumer

In the spectacular and emergency
service of the war the motor truck
played big and impressive part. Not
alone overseas, in bringing supplies,
ammunition and troops to the battle
front, and as ambulances carrying
away the wounded, did the motor truck
perform a wonderful service. Here at
home, too, the work Of helping to win
the war was materially aided by the
commercial vehicle in an enormous
variety Of ways.
Right now, in the less exciting mo-
ments OF peace times, the motor truck
is proving its worth. There is not a
line Of industry to-day in which the
commercial vehicle cannot be Of SER
vice. And the opportunities for this
service are growing every day, ex-
panding until the market for the motor
truck is bound to be nearly as limit
less as that for the passenger car. The
desire to own an automobile is practi-
cally universal.
The approach of transportation
crisis, such as is threatened right now,
because of strikes among railroad work
ers, serves only to emphasize what SER
vice the motor truck can and will rem
der. The commercial vehicle has been
proved out on the long haul, as we'll
rs on the short ono. Express routes,
covering all sorts Of distances, have
been established. They cover distances
Ill the way from Akron to Boston, for
instance, and the hauls from Philadel-
phia to New York, Boston to New York,
Chicago to Milwaukee, and express
routes of various kinds extending radi-
caily out from the main cities of the
country are now we'll established.
II there comes 8 breakdown of rail
transportation because of labor con-
ditions the motor truck will be able to
AXE major part of the burden and
ret away with it very successfully. In
fact, when the congestion of railroad
traffic was most intense in war time
it was the motor truck which drew off
2 large amount of the tonnage to be
carried and made it possible for the
lailroads to restore something a little
,nore like order and regular freight
schedules. The use of the motor truck
