BUILDING OPERATIONS
HELPED BY TRUCKS

Modern building methods have
been greatly facilitated of late year.

have been put" says A. C. Andertor
Of the Terminal Motor company. To-
cal dealers for ,JMC trucks, and the
future bids fair TO see the horse dis
appear entirely from building opera
tions an over the country.
Ordinarily the time saved IN haul
ing with trucks was the big reason fo-
the adoption Of motor trucks by build
ers and contractors Now, with labor
Wages going to the highest peaks, the
saving OF man power Is an item that
motor trucks can cut down materially
and with no loss Of any kind as e
result. Today practically no building
IL done In the business districts OF
any city without the use of trucks.
The speed with which trucks can be
both loaded and unloaded makes them
ideal for this work because Of the new
trafic delays that are occaAoned 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 Il
