TRUCKS SOLVE
Bic PROBLEM

Present Industrial conditions alb
solutely demand more efficient haul
age methods" said Frank n. Brown,
local branch manager for the Service
Truck company.
The need Of saving time, energy,
man-power and expense Of transport
ing materials and products was never
so vitality important.
''The country has been called upon
10 triple its energy, its producing
power. its delivery power. Men. ma
chimes, factories have all been re-
quired to do three times as much in a
given time. One OF the most impor-
tant factors controlling the efficiency
Of the nation today is transportation.
Motor trucks are indispensable in
the scheme Of things today The
trailer is solving the problem by
TRIPPING the haulage efficiency Of
trucks without materially increasing
the operating eXpenSe-in other
words. the trailer is making II pos
sible for one tractor truck. one driver
and one motor to do the work OF
three As a specific illustration, a
tWo-ton truck will haul a six-ton
Fruehauf semi-trailer on its reserve
power, the combination thus taking
the place of siX-tou truck. The
economy OF operating a two-toa trac-
tor truck TO haul a six-ton load as
against operating and maintain
ing a six-ton truck for the same pur-
pose, is obvious.
THE heavy duty trailer utilities the
reserve power of the truck motor
Failure to use this reserve power is
sheer waste For example. a two
ten truck can easily pull three times
the load Il can carry without taxing
the motor or the mechanism Of the
rear axle. It can be readily seen that
the economy Of the trailer fits in
with industrial requirements today
the hauling OF bigger loads for less
money.
'.For the small investment in a
trailer-approxim half the cost
OF a truck OF one-third capzcity-you
get the equivalent of three trucks in
hauling ability at the operating cost
Of but one
still further economies are effect
ed in meeting certain requirements,
by using three or four trailers % one
truck OF tractor. One trailer can be
loaded and another unloaded while the
truck or tractor is continually oper-
ated for delivery OF loaded trailers
and picking up empties. This repre-
sents the maximum in haulage meth

and water proof qualities come from
the rubber. This rubber coated fab
rio is taken to the cutting room
where it is cut into strips and from
there goes to the making up depart
ment where it is shaped roughly Ike
the finished tire. Forms are used for
the making up that allow the work
man to shape the tire. Its final finish
is given by pressure during the vul-
canizinE. Next comes the baking
process. While being baked the tire
is kept in place in a huge steel mold
which is made into parts and bolted
together. held firm by hydraulic pres
sure. This mold is then placed in q
vulvanizer-a great steam chamber
into which live steam is sent until
enough heat is obtained to accomplish
the baking. After being cured the
vulcanizing chamber is opened; the
mold taken out and in its turn
opened: the tire removed and passed
on TO the inspector THE process

Kenton Section
OF Portland Is
Swept by Fire

Portland, May 24.-Damage esti-

100000 was wrought by disastrous
fire which completely destroyed the
plant of the North Portland Box COM
pany and the wooden shipbuilding
plant of the Standifer corporation in

district of Industrial plants was mar
rowly averted.
The loss estimate was made by
Fred Roberts, fire captain, who spent
the day in Investigations at the scene
of the sweeping conflagration.
There was only. hazy knowledge
last night as to how much of the fire
loss was covered by insurance. swift
& CO. officials said there was insur-
ance on the box company plant but
none was ready even to estimate the
amount. G. M. Standifer professed not
to know whether or not the shipyard
was protected by insurance.
Starting, apparently, In mass of
dry shavings in the planning mill OF
the box company plant, the firo was
swept by the high wind to the box
companys factory and the long stretch
of docks along the water front.
The wind, blowing at velocity OF
more than 40 miles an hour, suddenly
veered to the north, and before the
volunteer fire fighters could concen-
trate their efforts at that point, the
entire Standifer shipyard plant was a
mass of flames.
Several hundred feet of dockage
