E.E.La Schum, Superintendent q

average mileage of trucks is about 40
miles per day, they are capable Of max

This means that in every truck there

organized its distributing facilities to a
point where only a complete break
down Of public utilities can prevent its
supplying these trucks with oil and

In the cycle of service to which the

This entire organization is working as
