' For Atlantic Seaboard.' The eight of long trains of olive drab uotor trucks, leaving Detroit for the Atlantlo seaboard is rapidly becoming a familiar sight; for it is now a daily occurrence. - Each truck traln is accompanied by a a smaller train of passenger cars, , , In-the , middle of last 'winter, truck makers in Detroit began the delivery; of .war trucks oyer the snow-covered roads. .Though the government itself is the purchaser of the trucks, It1 was impossible to secure enough freight cars to ship the dally scheduled production. In spite of all the road difficulties of the severest ' winter on record, the road delivery was successful, and has boen continued, until now two companies of soldiers drive away 60 trucks a day. Six Dodge Bros. cars go along with each truck train, also destined for service overseas. The plan of. driving the huge war trucks overland is a success, not only from the standpoint of getting the vehicles to their destination -regularly and promptly, but also, front the standpoint of transporta tion of war materials. ' Many De troit factories are busy witfi gov ernment contracts, and the trucks curry huge quantities of war mater ials of all sorts on. each trip to the Atlantic ports. The railroads are relieved of the, task of carrying much, tonnago, and, munitions are reaching their seaboard shipping points in ateady stream. , LOCALS And- Advertising in Brief i Don't forget the Rummage.
