MOTOR TRUGKAS TIME SAVER
Gets Over the Ground and Makes
Delivery Much Quicker.
GREAT FOR ALL SHORT HAULS
Can Slake Towns (or Considerable
Distance in Quicker Time and
at Le expense Than by
Frelsht.
In times of rushing business when the
railroads have more tonnage than they
are able to move promptly, the use ot
the high grade heavy motor truck for
short haul work is coming to be an Im
portant factor which tends to facilitate
the quicker movement of freight.
Short haul business is not much sought
by the railroads at any time and when the
through business Is very heavy, as It was
last fall when the country experienced a
great shortage of freight cars, the rail
road managers welcome the relief af
forded by the motor truck.
The rate charged by railroads for short
haul business while higher per ton-mile
thin on through traffic, is scarcely suf
ficient to make up for the space occupied
In stations by the goods and the labor
of handling. When long haul business
8 available It Is much more profitable.
That Is why the development of lnterur
ban truck business 1b good for the rail
roads. There are a great many reasons why
It Is good for the truck owner! If a ship
ment is to be made to a town twentyi
miles away, the goods may bo put on the
truck In the morning, the run to the des
tination made In from two to two and
a halt hours, and the goods unloaded at
the purchaser's home or place of business.
In the case of railroad shipment, the
goods are loaded onto a wagon, driven to
a station, unloaded Into the freight shed,
loaded Into the carT moved that night,
perhaps, to the town which Is the des
tination, unloaded Into the freight shed,
loaded Into a wagon, and unloaded at the
purchaser's house.
The difference In efficiency between the
two methods is so great that a mere
statement of the case proves It. The
truck does the work in a quarter of the
time and at less expense.
For all these reasons many large busi
ness houses have adopted trucks ex
clusively for their short haul freight
work. In Cleveland a largo retail dealer
In furniture and house furnishings, makes
all Its deliveries to nearby Ohio towns
with a Peerless truck.
In Chicago a dealer in leather goods
hips all goods to a distance of fifty
miles by a Peerless truck. In Fall Wver,
Mass., a firm of draymen carry freight
regularly at night to Providence and
other nearby New England towns in a
Peerless truck. Because of the density of
population and the short distance be
tween cities, New England has developed
this branch of motor trucking further
than almost any other state In the country.
"An ounce of demonstration is worth a
ton ot talk," Is the slogan ot the FrceUnd
Auto company, when boosting their
Mason light trucks. And all who witness
the enviable performance ot the two light
Mason trucks, only guaranteed to carry
1,000 pounds, but carrying eleven people
who average 1&0 pounds apiece, chugging
up the steep Hamilton street hill on
high last Tuesday, will agree that the
slogan Is worth while. The two trucks
carried a portion of the band of the
Chicago Turverlcn delegates who stopped
In Omaha Tuesday and wero given the
long auto ride to all parts of the city.
Nothing that any Mason truck or any
other make had done before gave such
a clear idea of the efficiency and dur
ability of light delivery cars. The
little Mason machines rumble over
paved streets, smooth boulevards, heavy
dirt roads, still In bad condition as the
result of the rain' the night before, and
up steep hills without the slightest diffi
culty or hesitation,
Mr. F reeland, the local agent, has
never experienced lack of Interest among
users of light delivery cars when he has
demonstrated the ability ot his cars,
and there are as many Masons on the
road as any other light truck. But, he
believes that In view ofhe excellent
showing his two machines made Tuesday,
merchants and business men, who have,
been doubtful of the efficiency and dur
ability of light delivery cars as compared
to the horse, will be aroused and consider
the adoption of the light motor as a
commercial vehicle.
WATER COOLED TRUCK
WINS BY RECORDS MADE
"The International motor truck has
made Its way by the way It is made,"
said W. J. Pliant ot the International
Harvester company.
"We have Just received three carloads
of these motor delivery trucks and will
have more coming. We have consider
ably over' 100 of these trucks running in
Omaha, but we are speaking now of our
new water cooled truck, which Is prov
ing to be very popular for a light de
livery truck. This new truck has many
Improvements and Is a type that Is now
proving to be so successful. We are now
selling many of these trucks In country
towns for delivery purposes. They aro
fitted with most any kind of a body that
is desired, and can be used for various
purposes. This truck is especially
adapted for sand and mud, and will go
anywhere where a team and wagon can
go. This is the car that won the cup In the
Washington Post endurance truck run.

This was a run of 2S8 miles over the
mountains In Pennsylvania and New Jer
sey, and the International motor truck
came out with a perfect road score, per
fect brake, gear and clutch test. They
carried a load of over 1.000 pounds and In
the 288 miles only used three pints of
lubricant. Many sales have been at
tributed to the result ot this driving test.
This new car has many Improvements
which makes It very durable, easy to
operate and very economical In fuel and
oil and Is the most economical truck In
the world today, and Is especially adapted
for light motor trfftk business, grocery
delivery, cream routes, truck gardeners,
farm use; in fact, for any purpose where
a truck from 1,200 to 1,600 pounds capacity
Is wanted. They ore world beaters,"
Closed Car Makes Time.
The Btudebaker "36" Sedan, In which J.
W. Carton is making a transcontinental
trip, starting from Los Angeles, Is al
ready at Kansas City and, with virtually
all the rough road of Its trip behind, Is
charging on New York. This Is the first
closed car In which such a run has ever
been attempted. With passengers and
baggage on board, the outfit weights 4,400
pounds.
