WHITE TRUCKS I HWOMIT How to build and maintain good roads at the lowest possible cost is a question which vitally interests all contractors, county commissioners, supervisors and other highway officials. Every road builder knows that the coet of building or maintaining a road depends largely upon the equipment that is used. Without modern machinery a large part of every road fund is wasted. When up-to-date equipment is used every mile of road costs less and is built faster. Old-fashioned equipment is being replaced re-placed by a new and more efficient type. Certain kinds of equipment, such as graders, grad-ers, drags and sacrifiers, are indispensable, indis-pensable, but the old power units the traction engine and the mule have been supplanted by the. White good roads truck, which performs all of the work of both the traction engine and the mule and does the work at a much lower cost. Labor is reduced. Work Is simplified-Roaiia simplified-Roaiia are built better. Funds go further. The White good roads truck combines the work of hauling, humping, spreading and rolling road material, as well as pulling pull-ing graders, levelers, drags, sacrifiers and trailers. All of these operations can be done cheapest and quickest with the White goods roada truck. This' is the onlv motor mo-tor truck that is designed and built especially es-pecially for highway work. Its broad gauge steel wheels enable it to operate on soft ground and fresh-made surfaces, or in pits where snatch teams would be needed for horses. Although noted for the great varietv of road work it performs, the White good , roads truck is but one of several types of White motor trucks which have revolutionized revo-lutionized road work. The White power dumping truck, equipped with rubber tires, has shown high efficiency in many forms of road work. The White combination truck for road maintenance and construction lias clearly established its superiority in applying ap-plying hot asphalt and oil treatments to 'existing surfaces. The tank body of this truck is demountable, permitting the use of the truck for the straight hauling when it is not needed for distributing, flushing or sprinkling.
