Show SALES MANAGER FOR KNOX associates the knox motors associates of springfield mass an association recently organized to act as sole distributors of the products of the knox motors company announce the appointment of C F rouze as sales manager mr rouze succeeds H vi blanchard who for several years past has been sales man ager of the knox motors company and who has recently resigned that position mr rouze has been in charge of the knox branch office at kansas city mo since february 1914 and because of his past experience both in the motor truck and tractor t field is particularly well weil qualified to supervise the marketing of the latest knox product a four wheeled tractor which has demonstrated its efficiency in the highway hauling of such commodities as lumber coal structural steel ore contractors materials etc since 1909 mr rouze has been associated with the motor truck and tractor business having successively been connected with the rapid transportation company as sales representatives with the motor kotor tuck department of the united motor company as western supervisor and with the american locomotive company in a similar position it was from the latter position that mr rouze came to the knox organization to act as the manager of its kansas city branch my steadfast conviction says mr rouze ever since my first experience in the motor truck field has always been that the gasoline engine must inevitably do our heavy trucking I 1 also al so realized SL however that with a motor vehicle which both propelled and carried its loads the tonnage limits were quickly reached my study of transportation problems led me naturally into the fields of heavy hauling in other words I 1 was in search of a gasoline vehicle which would handle loads of from five to twenty tons as conveniently as the motor truck handles the lighter loads of two or three tons and at a much lower ton mile cost my present connection with the knox motors associates is due to the fact that even in the earliest experimental knox tractors I 1 recognized the completed solution of the heavy hauling problem a vehicle built to haul instead of to carry this tractor and trailer principle comparatively new in the motor field two or three years ago is now universally recognized by transportation engineers as being entirely logical and correct as applied to transportation of heavy merchandise |
