Motor Truck,
Industry Has
Banner Year
Despite depressed business condi
tions, me motor truck industry in
1920 not only equaled the 1910 pro
duction of motor trucks but ex
ceeded It by 43,000 vehicles, riv
ing a total 1920 production of ,)4S -00
trucks.
Perhaps the greatest single fac
tor in making the 1920 production
of trucks greater than that of 1919
was the tremendous increase in
the manufacture of il speed
trucks of three-quarter to one ton
capacity. In previous years trucks
of one-ton capacity and under gen
erally did not exceed 60 per cent of
the total production, but in 1920
almost 75 percent of all the trucks
made were of one-ton capacity.
According to an analysis made
by the Commercial Vehicle 1,1 its
review issue of January 1, J:i2i, (he
average prices of all different sizes
of trucks have increased only ic
per cent up to January J, 1920.
Taking the different dzes of trucks
separately, those of 'ess than one
half ton in capacity nave increased
most in price. Trusts of less than
one-half- ton capacity have, lump
ed 25 percent in price, three-quarter
tonners have increase 1 19 per
cent, one-tonners 10 percent and
one-and-one-half tonners 12.1 per
cent. Trucks of from two tons ca
pacity up have Increased individu
ally anywhere from one -tenth of I
percent to 7.3 percent, those low
individual price increases helping
bring down the total average price
to the figure of 88 per cent, as
!i .r above.
According to the same authority
trucks of one and a half tons capa
city form the most popular mode1,
no lesj than one huiidre I modi If,
or 20 percent of the total number
of 527 trucks listed on the J2l
market, being of one and a half
tons capacity. The next and most
poular model is the two and a-haif
tonner with ninety models,, follow
ed by Ihe three-and a -half tonners,
with 84 models.

New Maxwell
Truck Meets
Set Standard
Maxwell truck owners have been
calling to the attention of Maxwell
dealers an article in a recent issue
of the Scientific American, cap
tioned "The Trend of Motor Truck
Design for 1921."
This is a "brief survey of the fea
tures displayed py 682 American
truck models," and Maxwell truck
owners are interested in finding
that the Maxwell truck design in
corporates a majority of the fea
tures which the article saya are
favored by most engineers.
The first and most important
fact brought out by Victor W. Pag
M. 8. A. E., author of the article,
is that the 1 ton truck isth
most popular, inasmuch as 127'dis
tinct models of this capacity are
available, which makes it the most
popular truck by a fair majority
according to this system of compat
ison.
It has long been appreciated that
tnere was a strong trend to the 1 '4
ton capacity truck, it being esti
mated that 70 percent of all haul
age is in loads of that weight oi
under.

The results show that a few
