Show FOUR WHEEL DRIVE THUCKFQR MIES Judging from tho dallv reports received by Manager A. E. Shuw of the Four Wheel J)rlvo Auto truck and Troy trailers. It will not be long beforo this style of truckw will bo In common use In every -part of the lnlermounlain country. This Is especially true of mining centers where tho Fdur Wheel Drive has proven Us superiority over nny otlier kind or mechanically driven vehicle Spoaklng on the possibilities of the Four Wheel Drive truck with Troy tralleru, ycaterday, Mr. Shaw said: The ono district of Beep Creek alone will In tho future derive more benefit from the Four WThecl Drive truck and Troy trailers than from any othor one thins since that district was first found to contain largo bodlcn of ore. Mining men have marveled for years why a railroad did not tap the rich mines ut Deep Creek, which have to a great extent remained undeveloped undevel-oped for want of hauling facilities. The Four Whcol Drive truck will solve this problem for them at a far less ox-penso ox-penso and wo are now preparing to . demonstrate that fact to mine ownorn of that section of the state. There Is no question In my mind, and I have traveled over cverv foot of that section, that the Four wheel Drive truck will pull through tho sand and easily climb tho highest hills In that section. Anyone who for a second sec-ond will stop and consider the principle princi-ple of tho four wheel drive, where power Is exerted on all four wheels, where the power pulls as well us pushes, will readily understand why the Four Wheel Drive will go where others fall. A driver of an automo-.hllc automo-.hllc known that sand will stall his car because It piles up In front of the front wheels. With power In the front wheels the car simply pulls Itself up over the sand and keeps going. This Is also trye to a great extent of hills whero power Is exerted on all four wheels. For this reason districts llko Deep Crook, Whero the wagon haul Is too expensive, ex-pensive, arc bound to lay their future prosperity on tho Four Wheel Drive truck. Wo live In an age of progression, progres-sion, and I believe It will bo but a short time until all motor trucks will have the four wheel drive principle. Then there will bo no more spinning spin-ning of tho rear wheels In muddy roads, but an equal distribution of power on all four wheels, giving traction trac-tion to move a motor truck anywhere. |
