enterprises right here in Birming- ham which use this form of trans pOrtation, and which are constantly increasing their facilities as made necessary by the general revival of business.
 Naturally no one realizes more fully than motor truck manufac- turers how closely the need for bet ter transportation follows general business prosperity, and for this req son Birmingham is right now at tracting considerable attention in truck manufacturing circles.
 An instance of this is seen in the visit of W. A Nelson, representing the Transport Truck company, Mount purpose of appointing distributor for the Transport line.
 We feel that Birmingham and vi- rinity present most promising op- portunity for high-class truck mer- chant" says Mir. Nelson. "Trans- port distributorst in parts of the country less prosperous than Bir mingham are averaging from two to six trucks week, which means yearly net earnings that can be equaled in few lines of business in volving anywhere near the same in vestment.'
 The Transport line comprises six models for 2,oO0, 5000, 40OO. 6,0oo, 1000 and 10000 pound hauling.
 Mr. Nelson is at the Tutwiler ho- tel, where he will be glad to inter view anyone interested in the kind of an opportunity he has to offer.
