Now, although sales have not
been directed to the farmer, he is
today nevertheless a bigger user Of
motor trucks than any other single
branch of American industry. The
Department of Agriculture reports
that there were $4,000 motor
trucks used on farms in the United
States up to last December.
Now, while the rural field has
scarcely been touched. for $4,000
trucks In this field are nothing
compared to what II can and will
become. the urban market Is fast
being sold to capacity and sooner
OF later is going to be oversold.
As an misunderstanding our
two greatest cities, New York and
Chicago. Motor trucks have been
largely sold in industries which
have formerly used horses, so
wherever motor trucks have been
sold they have displaced horses. 1t
is reported that the decline in
horses in New York has been Il
per cent in a nine-year period,
(1s1o-Is1s) while in Chicago II has
been Is per cent in one year (1s17-
1879
Market II Different.
Motor trucks cannot be sold as
passenger cars are sold and they 90
not command the market which the
passenger car enjoys; therefore, IN
selling motor trucks transportation
should be the keynote.
: In the Middle West where trucks
are being used extensively on farms,
in answer to a QUESTIONABLE recently
sent out by the Capper Publications,
practically every farmer stated that
his truck was the busiest piece or
machinery on the farm 1t is claimed
that the size of truck most used by
the farmer runs from three-fourths
of a ton to two ton, but that on
many of our big Western and South
western ranches three and five-ton
trucks are being used to quite SOME
extent 1t Is also stated by several
authorities that when good roads be-
come the rule, three to five-ton
trucks are going to be the units which
will be sold to large farmers.
The Washington herald., 1920-01-04

made a request for a permit to op-
crate a feet of motor trucks be-
tween three towns. These towns
were served by branch lines of q
railroadS and by an interurban troll
ley system, but the service was not
what could be called good. Repre-
of the electric line ap,
peared before the Public Service
Commission and requested that tho
refuse to issue a per-
NIT to the motor truck line.
Summarizing. the farmer Is in
