WHAT ABOUT COST OF
 PUTTING EQUIPMENT
 ON AND OFF THE JOB?

There is an old story of New York financier who was making a transcontinental trip in company with the Chief Engineer of one of our great railway systems: the New Yorker was greatly impressed with the rugged scenery as they crossed the Rocky Mountains and one morn ing he commented Co his engineer friend that it was surely a great and wonderful engineering feat to con struct a railway requiring all of those bridges, tunnels and massive cuts. The engineer quietly remark ed that the greatest engineering was marked by the absence rather than the presence of imposing structure.
 So it is in construction work. The best management is generally mark ed by the use of simple methods and equipment rather than by tine use of highly specialized and costly machin- cry. That is one of the principal reasons for the rapid increase in the use of Caterpillar" Tractors in the construction field-their adaptability for many uses keeping them occupied continuously where the more highly specialized equipment could be used only for a very limited kind of work.
 Further. "Caterpillar" Tractors are working under conditions of both soil and weather that would stop any other kind of equipment which has led to their most universal adoption. Tho fact that they are SO easily nov ed onto a job and moved from one place to another on the job, makes 1t possible for them many times to do work at what would be the cost Co move onto and away from the job other kinds of equipment This cost of getting equipment off and on the job. and opening and closing the operation is an element that is only too often undercstimated on many kinds of construction work
