How one bit OF newspaper publicity
was largely responsible for the direct
sale OF Is fine automobiles should be
convincing enough proof for anyone of
the force OF the daily newspaper Of
today. The latest person to be con-
WINGED is w. M. Phillips, dealer for the
Franklin car at Lexington, KY
Recently Mr.. Phillips decided he
would drive o car from the factory to
Lexington. Then he hit upon a novel
idea. He invited a Lexington news
paper man to accompany him as Off
ciai observer, ran large-sized adver-
tisements in the papers announcing he
was to try for an economy record, for
the 1903 miles, and started out
Each day OF the run, the newspaper
man, as official observer. photographed
the days mileage back to Lexington
and the newspapers carried the tele-
gram as the report OF the days prog
ress. The series of ads quickly got
motorists to talking. and when the
Franklin rolled up a mileage of 30.S
miles to every gallon of ordinary COM
mercial gasoline. the talk was trans
ferred to action.
As a direct result, Mr.. Phillips had
to put his automobile away and start
taking orders about as soon as he
stepped out of his car. He has just
concluded a week in which he sold
more cars than ever before during a
similar period, taking orders for 10
Franklins in six days.

lundeveloped. they blaze the trail for
enterprise.
"The remarkable thing about it all
is that transportation by truck has not
more economical than the older means.
FROM FARM TO RAILS
"The department of agriculture es-
Inmates that for the year 1918 motor
truck haus from farm to shipping
points averaged 11.3 miles while wag-
on hauls averaged nine miles. The
motor trucks made "a round trips per
day over the 113 miles while wagons
made but IL trips per day over the
nine mile route.
THE average cost per ton by horse
drawn vehicles was 80 cents per mile
for wheat, 80 cents for corn and IS
cents for cotton. The truck haulage
per ton mile averaged Is cents for corn
and wheat, and Is cents for cotton. In
several states the cost of transporting
wheht was as low as nine cents per
ton mile while the lowest cost by wag-
on is estimated at 20 cents per ton
mile. Quite a saving there, without
taking into consideration the value of
time saved and economy in labor.
1.-THE figures compiled by the gov
eminent show definitely the importance
good roads play in the reduction of
costs. For instance, in the East North
Central states. which boast miles of
improved highway, the cost of haulage
by truck was but nine cents per mile
in 1918. In the New England, Middle
Atlantic and West North Central states
the cost was Ia cents. The cost in
crea sed to IS cents in the South At
lantic states, where there are a limf-
ted number of improved roads, and to
20 cents in the Rocky Mountain dis
trict where. of course. the grades effect
all means of transportation.
REDUCE FOOD COSTS
"Contrasted with these figres are
those showing the costs of hauling by
horsedrawn vehicles. In the East
South Central section, the cost is 36
cents per ton mile, more than three
times the cost by truck. In the South
Atlantic states 1t is SO cents, more than
twice as much as by motor. In the
Rocky Mountain district the cost has
reached AZ cents, 10 cents more than
the truck costs.
After considering these figures one
stops to wonder what the present cost
of food-stuffs would be If II were not
for the motor truck. Here Is New
York with more than $4,000 motor
trucks registered. The average cost
of hauling by truck in New York is
IA cents per ton mile according to last
years figures. The cost by wagon is
estimated at about 80 cents There
is a difference of 16 cents on each ton

Necessity of.Providing Better Roads.

"The day is not far distant when
motor trucks will operate over high
ways built solely with that purpose in
view. When that day comes motor
truck transportation will have reached
Its height"
These prophetic statements were
made to the writer a few days ago
by e. A. Williams, ,Jr., president of the
Garford Motor Truck company. They
came as the climax of an interview, or
as Mr.. Williams would have 1t, a dis
cussion. of the future of the motor
truck.
At first the Observation-Disclosures
was intended to bring out the POSSIBLE
tties of the truck as a commercial ear
rier and interurban auxiliary to present
day hauling facilities. Recently an
Intermountain Motor Truck corps was
proposed in Pocatello and Boise, and
out Of the suggestion will probably
grow in the near future a well -organ-
lied association of shippers and truck
owners which will bring an undream-
ed Of development to rural commercial
traffic in off the railroad sections of
Idaho. Views about trucks as common
carriers will be doubly interesting
while that development is taking place.
Mr.. Williams had facts and figures
at his fingers ends, and in filing, cab
inets showing the great increase in
the use of motor trucks for hauling
grain, cotton and live stock over that
of horsedrawn vehicles. and carefully
worked out tables showing the rela-
tive costs per ton mile for'this hauling.
All this bore directly on the economic
need of highways built for motor traf-
fic.
WAR TRUCKS CHANCE
Early in the discussion something
was naturally said by the writer about
the part motor trucks had played dur
ing the recent world conflict. Mr..
Williams dismissed it with a word
The war simply gave the motor
truck an opportunity to prove it's uni
versal worth" he said. TN other words
the war accelerated it's general adoption
in the commercial world. And it Is
commerce and industry, not war, that
concerns US today
IF we are to discuss the motor truck
let's get down to present facts and flu
ture possibilities" he continued.

utility. Each day sees the motor truck
