/. LINK DISTANT
PLANTS
Trucks Solve Problem of
Quick Shipments for
Shoe Manufacturers

That the problem Of quick ship,
n1cnts has been solved by the
motor truck for the manufactures
whose plants are located long dis
tarces apart is proven by the case
OF the Brown Shoe Company, with
factories at st. Louis, Mo-, and
Charleston, ILL.,, 141 miles apart.
Formerly the output of the
Charleston plant was shipped by
freight to st. Louis. This neces.
STATED waiting for three or more
manufactured to make the mini
mum weight required by freight
car.
Today Pierce Arrow trucks make
q daily shipment between factories.
Every night, except Sunday, q
truck leaves Charleston with shoes
finished that day at the Charles
ton factory. At the same time the
trick leaves Charleston, st. Louis
bound, another truck is leaving ST.
Louis for Charleston, laden with
raw materials.
This arrangement provides the
St. Louis plant with fresh goods
at all times, enabling the Brown
Shoe Company to make daily
turnover Of stock. It also proven: g
the piling up Of back orders, which,
under the old system, had to wait
for the freight car shipments.
The Pierce-Arrow trucks whish
link the factories of the Brown
Shoe Company are operated by the
Ben Gutman Truck Service. This
comnany now operates a fleet Of
twenty-three Pierce-Arrows. Some
of these trucks have been in daily
service for the past five years IN
tile 141-mile run between st. Louis
and Charleston.
