I CAM BROWN IN CHARGE OF BOTTERILL TRUCK DEPARTMENT " 1 fa J I rA if Brown reports indications of the best motor truck season western dealers and transportation men have ever known. i Thn f the present year, despite war conditions, will see more trucks purchased pur-chased throughout the entire iutermoun-tnin iutermoun-tnin west than any previous season in the history of the motor car business, or for that matter any two or three previous seasons, is the prediction that came yesterday from Cam Brown of the Botterill organization, who has been placed in charge of Frank Botterill 's truck department. Few men are better known in Salt Lake and surrounding territory than Mr. Brown, and the fact that he will have charge of the distribution aud sale of Pierce-Arrow and Republic trucks for the Botterill company means that not only is Mr. Brown going to be a mighty busy man himself during the next few nionths, .but the entire Botterill Bot-terill organization devoted to service on trucks will also have its hands full. It is doubtful if any automobile distributing dis-tributing establishment between Chicago and the Pacific coast is so well organized, organ-ized, so well equipped, or possesses better bet-ter facilities for taking care of a very large number of truck owners than is the Botterill company ;i Salt Lake. Frank Botterill is highly enthusiastic enthusias-tic over the manner in which both the Pierce-Arrow and Republic trucks are selling aud behaving throughout this territory, and in a statement yesterday yes-terday he said: It is a source of great satisfaction to me to find constantly that business busi-ness men who investigate our line of Republic trucks do so primarily because it is our line. The wonderful record being made all over the country by Pierce-Arrow Pierce-Arrow trucks is almost legion in the automobile world. It is interesting to note in this connection that when the manufacturers of trucks in the United States were asked to submit bids on building 35,000 motor trucks for the United States government this last week, the Pierce-Arrow company was one of the only three manufacturers who would guarantee to undertake the construction immediately of the entire en-tire 3o,000 trucks. In the Republic line of trucks we are fortunate in having a truck for every possiole job tliat a truck can be used on. We are not under the necessity of trving to make a man's business fit any particular model of truck. On the contrary, ,the wide range of the Republic line enables us to study the prospect 's business and help him decide what capacity truck will be the most profitable to use. Inasmuch as the Republics come in a three-quarter ton, one ton, one and a half ton, two tons, and a heavy duty three-ton three-ton size, we can then take care -of ' the prospect in whatever truck best suits his business. Cam Brown declares that another especially interesting feature of the Republic Re-public is the fact that prices run from $1020 to $2825, delivered in Salt Lake, and that at these prices the Republic is nn unusually worthy truck. The. Botterill officials report the arrival ar-rival of several heavy shipments of Republic Re-public trucks in every size from the Republic Despatch to the - Republic Dreadnaught, three and on-e-half tons' truck, and Mr. Brown declared yesterday yester-day that enough additional shipments are now enroute to Salt Lake to make it possible for the Botterill company from now on to keep a sufficient number num-ber of trucks constantly iu Salt Lake so that immediate delivery of almost any model can be made to a customer. Many prominent users of motor trucks are operating Republics in Salt Lake and other Utah communities aud the records the.se trucks have made and are makincr with resnect to low oiieratinrr cost and high durability is one of the most satisfactory conditions, Mr. Botterill Bot-terill declares, he has experienced in i all the years of his automobile experi-j experi-j 1 ence.
