DODGE CAR STANDS UP :
UNDER BAD CONDITIONS

II there is an American industry
which is confronted with vexing trans
portation problems, 1t is the one con-
cerned with the production of natural
gas and oil Because their products is
carried to centrally located storage
tanks by extensive pipe line systems.
good roads are impractical and the
individual wells are connected to the
pioneer roads by foot paths which
change their character with the sea-
son.
Under such conditions william
Blum of Lancaster. Ohio. one of the
district field superintendents of The
Logan National Gas and Fuel Com
pany, drove the same motor car more
than 100, 900 miles in little more than
three years. Even under the best con-
oitions, such a record would be unique
as the distance covered is more than
the average owner will drive in ten
years.
Blum's duties carried him through
eight Ohio counties, where the roads
become almost impossible swaths Of
mud during the fall and spring.
"I do not think there is any car
buildt today that could give me as
good a service as / have had from
this Dodge Brothers car he recently
wrote to the Lancaster dealer. 81
have driven it over the counties of
Hooking. Vinton, Perry. Athena. Ross,
Washington. Coshocton and Fairfield
at all times of the year, during the
sizzling heat of the summer and the
rought frozen and snowy winters and
in the bottomless mud of the spring.
across fields, hills and young noun
tains, mud at times to the axle. ford
ing streams and what not. Service, I
should say she gave me service.
MY hat off to the Dodge Brothers
car"

All automobiles used for commercial
purposes must be equipped with tires
of at least five inch tread on all four
wheels. This means that up to two
tons. trucks must be pneumaticaliy
equipped: from two to three and a
BALI tons either pneumatic or soloei
equipment or more than five inch tires
Us permissible; while trucks OF over
three and a half tons weight may run
on solids.
At present there Is some doubt
whether or not the new law will apply
To city streets, pending legislation be-'
ing particularly directed against the
use of tires of less than five inch tread
on country roads. The Norwegian
government estimates that unless ac-
tion is taken to specify the sizes OF
tire widths, the country roads will be
totally spoiled within two years.
The new legislation will affect mo-
tor truck manufacturers particularly.
but in some cases the only change
necessary in truck tire equipment win
be greater tire width on front wheels
the rear wheels already complying
with the provision OF the new law.
II is expected that this legislation
will he affective from the summer OF
1920.
