It is apparent therefore that the motor truck as before will have to come to the aid o the, railroads ' to meet a greater demand for movement of goods from! all classes.

In many cases these men are operating; their trucks to full capacity in both directions. - But there are some . truck operators, perhaps many of them, who have forgotten the return load propaganda of war time. , A careful analysis of the transpor tation field will show them that even today we have reached suck a stage in the railroad freight sltuaUon that it is Impossible for business men to ship when, where and as they like. f The motor ' truck during 1923 can be of great aid in helping to solve this prob lem and there should be no trouble in securing capacity loads going and com ing if a little effort is made. - , , MR.

The equipment in question consists; of a caterer's trailer i using- tjie ' Beo j speed wagon as Its tractor-tender. The Introduction of motorlsed transporta tion and lt development have revolu tionized the English "coffoe stall, It now goes far afield; is taken to the races, sports gatherings, garden fetes and, boat races and resembles in a general way the American lunch wagon. , . '" ' y- Outdoor catering in England ia - a great gamble with the un reliabiliti es the weather and the uncertainty of attendance of the buying public, so (hat speed in the "coffee stall" la de cidedly useful in enabling the vehicle to be run back torfts base or supplies and return, should the circumstances warrant. The automobile is being used advantageously as a power unit for the English icoffee stall" and en cables the owner to . quickly transport his lunch wagon wherever he desises -and at the same time utilize the car to bring fresh supplies if required. A-MOBILE OUTFIT By separating the power . unit from the wagon, the trailer can then be "Constructed -in such a way as' to give tnore working room and to have a much lower floor and counter and frnore head room, each one of which 3 a distinct advantage. Mobile stalls irf this character are being employed by Ixuis .Connolly in London, and .after six months' use have proved so ssuccessf ul that further , orders for ve hicles of this kind have been placed. E.S A single motor car can deal with ''av number of these lunch wagons, tak ing them individually to - their loca tions or "pitches' and keeping them Supplied with food during the time they are in operation. A typical trailer of this type has an over-all length of 1& feet and its body dimensions are IS feet by 5 feet 6 inches. Its counter is only 3 feet 8 inches from the ground and the head room for the counter hands is feet 7 inches. f-so that Ahere are no restrictions any where, in ract, three counter nanas can easily attend to customers.
