Besides retaining the agency for the Fulton Truck, I have accepted the
agency for the REPUBLIC line of trucks in Eight Mile Grove, Plattsmouth, Rock
Bluffs, Liberty and Nehawka precincts, and am ready to furnish you with trucks
of one ton, one and a quarter ton, one and a half ton, two and a half ton and three
and a half ton capacities.
The Republic truck is handled by Andrew Murphy & Son, which con
cern has houses in Omaha and Sioux City.'. Its Omaha plant alone has 70,000
feet of floor space. The Murphy company has been in business in Omaha since
1869, and has specialized in Republic trucks for a half score of years.
There are thousands of truck orphans left on the hands of their owners.
Their makers have gone out of business. It is reported that of 555 companies or
ganized since 1909, 331 no longer exist. Half of the remainder are less than two
years old. 228 makers went out of business in less than one year. -
Out of 42 dealers distributing trucks in Omaha territory since 1909, 23
are no longer in business. 10 of the remainder no longer handle trucks. 35 dif
ferent makes of trucks formerly distributed by them are in no way represented
now, or are known as Orphans. 10 factories formerly manufacturers of trucks sold
in this territory no longer exist.
