"Order vour motor trucks early" was the keynote of an address deliv ered by S. V. Norton, Truck Tire Sales Manager, of the B. r . r.oodricn Rubber company to the Truck Own ers conference held in Chicago last week. After showing how great the for eign demand for American motor trucks had added a tremendous im petus to the industry in the United States during the past "three years he emphasized the fact that our own Government's entry into the war would create a corresponding demand for trucks and drivers. "Motor trucks are already compet ing.! successfully with railroads in a creat manv instances so that the de mimd for them will not be confined entirely to our government require ments." said Mr. Norton. "It is cerT tain that 75,000 trucks will be neces sarv for the first big American, ex peditionary force. The supplying of these trucks to the government will be confined to those manufacturers whose construction and design con form to government specifications and these manufacturers will be guaran teed prompt delivery of parts and raw materials by the War Depart ment" "It is no impossible that older men and possibly women may be needed to replace experienced truck drivers who will be needed for government ser vice and in the truck manufacturer s sales organizations older salesmen will be needed to take the place of the younger men. who enter the govern ment service. All of these conditions tend to prove that ,the motor truck business is destined for a generous expansion rather than depression and rny advice to prospective purchasers of trucks is to buy them while they are available.
