Trucks

freight from one point to anotheT,
is amazing. The Burris Express ana
many others are busy daily III
bringing the goods from Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and New York which
they deliver safely at your doors at
the same price generally charged on
the same class of goods by the rail
road companies.
Those trucks which visit the lar
ger cities and carry freight both
ways going and coming are only
few of the hundreds of trucks which
are invading every part of the coun-
try today and are seeking a load
from any point.
The South is now engaged in run |
ming their vegetable and fruit crops
to the cities of the North by trucks, F,
claiming in this way they carry bet !
ter and arrive on time and open up
in a more satisfactory manner than |
when shipped by railroad.
There is hardly a town in Della !
ware which doesn't have its line of
truckqs conveying daily to the city
markets, eggs, poultry and fruit !
and bringing back early vegetables, |
and fruits which are grown in the !
South for the merchants before the |
vegetable and fruit grown in Della
ware is ready for shipment, or use.
Glendale has quite a line of |
trucks which penetrates every part |
of Delaware and the larger cities |
and outside towns.
N. E. Prettyman, wholesale dealer
in nd Of CT /
three trucks in commission at all
times, besides canvassing the coun-
try for the goods he wishes to ship,
he keeps one large truck ready to
go with a load at any minute. A. H.
Beebe, another of our produce deal
ers, is busy at all times, buying and
shipping eggs and poultry to the
city markets.
Isaacs F. Warren, Sr., whose truck
is constantly on the go at all times,
when going north generally takes a
load of Mr.. Beebe's produce, and on
the return trip brings a load of
southern vegetables and fruits
which he delivers to his many Gus
toners i'll Sussex county where he
finds a ready sale.
Charles Walins has a line of
trucks which make several trips
weekly to Wilmington, Chester,
Philadelphia and New York. Mr..
Walins goes from farm to farm
gathering such produce as the far
mers wish to ship and deliver it to
the commission men in the different
cities. He also buys any produce
which may be for sale.
Every progressive farmer has his
truck and some have more than one
and they claim that it would be im-
possible to market their produce
without this mode of transportation.
Horses and mules are out of date
when il comes to making quick
trips between points. They still
have their use on the farm and haul
ing from the forests such work as ,
the trucks and tractors cannot at
the present time do.
The coming of cement roads
through Delaware and other States
makes ittan- easy matter to reach the
larger cities either by busses or
trucks, and sometimes they make
better time than the railroads do
The busses and trucks have made
deep inroads on the passenger and I
freight business of the different
railroads. This is apparent from the !
lesser trains run and the equip
ment for the passenger service is
not as good as it used to be- The '
tracks are not kept in the same S
condition as when the railroads had {
a monopoly of the business, both S
passenger and freight.
This is a progressive age and i'm |
proyementS will move forward as I
the world demands them, and no one j
can with any certainty prophesy
what will happen ten years from t
date in the way of advancement I
which we hope will prove for the {
betterment of this vast universe of g
ours. S
While at the present time both /
the railroads and trucks don't seem a
to be doing the business which they q
have recently done, but when labor h
is fully employed which we hope v
will be soon, the good times which
are sure to come will be felt by all
those who are engaged in the bust
ness world, and also to those who {
are engaged in any vocation what +
ever. c
