"SHIP-BY-TRUCK"
MEN ENGAGED IN
BUSY CAMPAIGN

T.. Bismarck. N. D., Aug. IL. NJ.
Dine. special representative of the
Firestone Tire & Rubber company,
and director Of the 'Ship-by-Truck"
bureau of publicity, was in Bismarck
yesterday in the interests Of the ma
tion-wide movement inaugurated by
this company to promote universal
truck transit from farm to market.
In cooperation with motor truck
manufacturers this bureau is carrying
on an intensive campaign Of education
which is expected to result in a more
general motorization of FARMS. As an
incident to the success of the move
ment. there Is being waged a war on
bad roads and upon inefhciency, ex-
travagance and indifference in road
building.
The bureau Is compiling exact sta
tistics from which the farmer can
learn just how much he may s
ably expect it to cost him to deliver a
bushel of wheat or of potatoes, or a
fat porker or a sleek steer from his
farm to his favorite primary market.
The bureau is laying out comprehen-
sive cost schedules through which
every element OF chance is eliminated
for. the farmer who invests in a truck.
Users of truck transportation are
shown Just What it will cost them per
mile to haul a ton Of produce over any
known type of road, from an ordinary
prairie trail to the most approved
modern concrete speedway. The COM
pany also prepares road maps, show
ing what highways are available for
motor transport, and it produces plans
and specifications for the building of
model roads of variOus types.
