with the recent increase in road

the use % motor trucks by farmers
has shown great gains. There has
been a tremendous growth OF rural

pal tonnage consists OF fresh vege-

and fruit. Although the rural mo-
tor EXPRESS IS passed the experiment

3any. after an exhaustive survey OF

1icles, gives an emphatic negative
answer 20 these questions. II de-
sides that the possibilities OF motor
transportation development are al
most Mmitless.
The best informed men OF the
country" says the bureau, ARE
agreed that there was an unsatis-
fed demand FOR more than 100000
ears during 1919. The inability to
supply this demand was primarily
due 10 lack OF labor and material
This demand was undated AT the
end OF the spring season OF 1920

ton. extensive expansion in finance
and building on the part OF car and
truck manufacturers

Although production today IS by
far greater than last year the auto

Every indication points toward a

ent igure-or 100000 passenger

Inortcible as this prediction may
appear. the Goodrich bureau says
- IS based on a sound analysis If
the present trend OF motor trans
portation needs and is not a rash
super-optimfstic statement or a bias
ed motor fanatic.
"Just q few years ago" says the
bureau. ''pessimists asserted that
there would never be a million auto
mobiles throughout the country.
They said the auto craze" would
soon die out. Today there are near
~ eight million cars I'm use and the
number IS increasing daily. All Of
which proves that the automobile
fills a definite transportation need
and IS an essential to the well-being
Of the country.
The passenger automobile Is no
longer considered as a pleasure We
hicle but IS being recognized more
and more as n necessity. IT is safe
10 say that the day when cars were
purchased entirely In view or the
pleasure and diversion they would
give has passed. Now they are be-
