NEW BUILDING WORK
MEANS MORE TRUCKS
Horses Have Completely Lost
Their Standing as Haul
ing Methods Advanced.

Modern building methods have been
greatly facilitated OF lato years by the
uses TO which motor trucks hsve beon
put" says o. f stoll OF the New York
branch for @. NJ. G. trucks. land the
future bids fair to see the horse dsap-
pear entirely from building operations
all over the country.
Originally the time saved in hauling
with trucks was the big reason for the
adoption of motor trucks by builders
and contractors. Now. with labor wages
going to the CHEST peaks the saving OF
Tnan-power Is an item that motor trucks
can cut down materially ana with no
loss OF any kind as result To-day
practically no building is done in the
business districts of any city without
the use OF trucks. The speed with which
trucks can be both loaded and unloaded
-inaAes.i them Ideal for this work. because
or the new traff1c delays that are &C.
casioned In getting the trucks loaded at
the Job In congested districts. Then, too,
the speed that these trucks make from
the job TO distant dumping points Is an
other big gain in excavation work.
Many cities In the country have con-
tracing firms which operate fleets OF
q. NJ c. trucks for this work only.
These are heavy duty G. NJ. C. trucks
ton stake and dump bodies. The pull
ing over OF G. NJ. c. permits them
TO get right down in the hole to be
loaded and then get out again all under
their own power, where a similar set OF
circumstances used to require two teams
of horses.
Contractors in smaller communities,
too, are adopting G. NJ. c. trucks for this
work. Probability Is a big point in this

each trip must be made over unimproved
roads. This is especially true Of road
building itself In fact. as far as trying
the power and stamina OF a motor truck
10 concerned there lie no better test In my
opinion than to put II on road making
Job. As YOU all know, road improve
ments always are worked from the
furthest point toward the base OF opera
tons This means that the trucks car
rying materia , to the job and doing all
the hauling must travel every step OF
the way over the unimproved road. and
more often over the skinned and ex-
cavated roadbed.
Fright now there are large number
OF G. NJ. c. trucks in the road making
service in all sections OF the country.
Municipal. State and county governments
are using @. NJ. c. trucks for this work
as we'll as wide variety OF public work.
In tho first place, the G. NJ. c. delivers
the goods so far as service and utility
are concerned; and secondly. the COM
plete range of G. NJ. c. sizes makes 1t
especially adaptable TO municipal work
where various departments require DIFF
ferent sized trucks.
by standardizing on one make the
public officials are able to esta olish their
own garages and service systems at
big saving OF the taxpayers money.
The period We are now entering -
going TO be marked by new building and
improvements of all kinds. The way in
which the country has taken hold OF the
good roads movement Is indicative OF
this. Such an era means lot to the
motor truck and to motor truck owners
Business men whose foresight Is Keen
are motorizing then hauling.
