I'VE welcome the efforts of those
who are interested in the horse as a

the facts before the public" said r. f.
Chamberlain, freight transportation
manager of the Packard Motor Car
Company. "If they can provo the horse
TO be more economical, dependable
and reliable source Of power than the
motor truck for the transportation Of
freight this company probably will
abandon the manufacture of motor
trucks and venture into the horse
breeding field.
"other than placing the facts as TO
cost and operating data of our motor
trucks before American business men,
it is not our intention to combat the
move OF the horse interests. We are
selling transportation, not trucks.
When we go to q prospective customer
we first make survey of his business.
That. survey and an analysis of it de-
termine the answer as to the custom

The answer is not always more
trucks, our trucks, OF any trucks at
all. In more than one instance we
have recommended rearrangement in
present transportation systems result
ing in the elimination OF one or more
trucks or the addition Of horse or
some loading or unloading device.
In the course Of our transportation
Investigations we Of course have found
many business men using both horses
and trucks. In very large majority
Of these instances we have found that
costs on horses and wagon equipment
have been improperly kept, so that they
appear much less than they really

the prospective buyer. We also put all
the facts as to motor truck costs be-
fore him as we'll as the work the horse
and truck will do. He gets the ton

the final answer.

$4,000 Maxwells
AT Work i'm All
Lines of Hatalage
In Agriculture Particularly
This lH-Ton Vehicle
Has Proved Itself Out,
Makers Report

With $4,000 one = and half = ton
Maxwell trucks in daily use, suf-
ficient data have been accumulated to
stamp this as most economical and
consistent. The first Maxwell truck
was not produced until 1917, and with
the eighteen months of war that fol-
lowed there was little chance for suf-
ticlent production to make it the pre-
dominating figure it is day.
There are two classes of haulers using
Maxwell trucks-one, the man who is
just deserving horses. He is desirous
OF making his first step an economical
one. The second class is the man who
has been in the truck division for sew
eral seasons but who from using
heavier vehicles has determined that a
ton-and-a half Maxwell can carry his
capacity loads and costs less to operate.
Both the foregoing classes upon en-
tering the Maxwell ranks become
charged with sense of appreciation
and enthusiasm. Tho Maxwell truck
department, at Detroit, is constantly
in receipt of letters and especially
photographs showing trucks answering
the call of every demand in the field
of agriculture and general transporta-
ton.
At Watertown, Mass, and many
other places the Maxwell is the back
bone Of the city fire department In
various cities scattered over Missouri
and the Middle West, police patrols
maintain law and order. Uncle Sam
has feet of these sturdy one-anda-
half-ton vehicles hauling mail at Bir-
mingham, Ala, and many Western
cities.
Lumber mills, coal mines, oil fields,
gravel pits, machinery houses and
every branch of the commercial world
have furnished Photographic evidence
of the prowess of these lightweight
trucks. But it is in the realm of the
farmer that it is most prominent, at
least in point Of numbers.
The most convincing demonstration
of it's rural value was brought out in
the recent national motor truck de-
velopment tour when the Maxwell hung
up a record of economy and perform
ance through the rich farming districts
of seven Middle Western states.
Each truck in this great convoy was
placed at the disposal Of farms along
the route doing every kind of duty
from the grain field to the market.
The best proof Of the impression It
created was the string of buyers it left
in its trail as the tour moved ON to
each new community.

cry for production, if we are TO retain

What good will the consumer derive
from this increased production If it is
not paced at his disposal? Herbert
Hoover, former Federal Food Admins
trdser, has said that so per cent Of the
perishable food produced on the farms
in the United States never reaches q
market Hundreds of millions of dol
lars are thus annually wasted, and
Why? Just because the present method
Of transportation, which is adapted to
our present road system, is so costly
that it does not pay to move this food
IRON the farm to an area Of consump-
ton. And this waste will continue
until you and and the public at large
recognize this fact. We all are paying

saving in the cost of Transportation
and distribution of foodstuffs can be
effected by the establishment Of motor
truck routes to bring food Directly
from the farm to the market in the
city, but before these routes can reach
their highest efficiency it is absolutely
essential that we have good roads.
1T is said that New York State has
1S,4Qo miles of surface highways, and

While the state has a much higher per-

White Company Obtains
Largest Fire Truck Order

The city Of New Orleans has placed
with the White Company, of Cleveland
the largest single order of its kind
ever given to one manufacturer at one
time by an American municipality.
The order calls for twenty-eight
pieces Of motor fire apparatus, includ-
ing twenty-five combination pumpers
and hose cars of the most modern. type,
three city service ladder trucks and
two chassis on which will be mounted
hose bodies and chemical apparatus al
ready in the service of the city.
BY reason of it's size, this order was
competed for by practically every large
manufacturer of fire apparatus in the
world. Mechanical experts represent
ing the city canvassed every claim set
up by the competitors for the business.
and it was upon the recommendation
of these engineers that the bid of the
White Company was accepted.
