ARRANGEMENTS OF
Motor Trucks And
Roads To Be ShOUn

Some idea Of the tremendous ad-
vancements within the last few years
toward motorization of the highways
may be gained from the ship by truck
demonstration scheduled for Wednes-
day. when local truck dealers will par
tictpate in a truck parade through the
principal business streets.
IT is fitting that we pause not only
to contemplate what the motor truck
has already done, but to vizualze its
future performance" says, L, A. Cupps,
while figures vary as to the exact
number of motor trucks in the country
at the present time it is estimated that
the total will not go over 700 900 yet,
even this limited number was able to
road strike by NEGOTIATING long hauls
with raw materials and supplies. BY
delivering their cargoes to factory doors
they were able to stave off complete
shutdown during the period that the
strike paralyzed freight transportation
facilities.

production it is not exagger9tion to
say that in the next ten years there
will be 5000, 900 trucks rolling over the
highways Of America They will handle
ten times the tonnage of today because
every state in the union has appro-
priated millions to build hard-surfaced
roads.
Improved roads will multiply sched-
ules, speed up production of toodstuffs,
shorten running time of all trucks, les
sen repair bills and prolong life of
tires.
The Importance of the truck in the
development Of agriculture and indus
