AUTO TRUCK RUNS
THRICE A WEEK
Makes Trips to Springfield Mondays,
Wednesdays and FridayS-Will
Continue All Winter.

Despite the cold weather and snowy
roads the Brattleboro- Springfield auto
mobile truck transportation service is
still in force. although the schedule has
been cut from daily trips to three trips
4 week, the demand for daily service be-
ing much less than in warmer weather.
George L. Hawkins. manager of the
line, states that thus far travelling has
been very good and that he anticipates
continuing the service through the win
ter. Neither the weather nor condition
of the roads has caused trouble up to
the present. While fair sized loads have
been handled each way Mr. Hawkins
says a helper has been necessary only a
part of the time, and larger loads could
be taken care of.
Under the present schedule trips are
made to Springfield Mondays, Wednes
days and Fridays, the other days in the
week being devoted to picking up and
other work incident to the service.
