Show Salt Lake Produce Firm Takes Another International Truck . '. '" : : 1 " '' L ' : gm0 gx$ ilst The Kelsou-An&on company's International truck, which has operated so successfully for a year that the company com-pany has placed an order for another International. " - - . . . .i . - i After operating a one-ton International Interna-tional motor truck for nearly a year, without having to spend a cent for repairs, re-pairs, the Nelson-Anson company, 337 Eccles avenue, prominent wholesale fruit and produce merchants, have just placed an order with the L'tah Motor (Jar company for another International. According to the officials of the Nelson-Anson company, the performance of their one-ton International has been satisfactory in even.' way. It has kept going day in and day out, and practically prac-tically all the time it has been carrying carry-ing overloads of from 33 to 60 per cent. "The experience of the Nelson-Anson company is the common experience of International owners," said Sales Manager Beck of the Utah Motor Car company yesterday. "In fact hig repeat re-peat orders from large users or the International In-ternational all over the country have made such a hole in the factory output out-put that it was only with tle greatest difficulty we were able to secure an allotment big enough to snpplv the demand de-mand here in Utah. And judging from the way farmers, manufacturers and merchants are buying these trucks, it looks as if our estimate of the number we would need was entirely too small. I "At the present time the factory of the International Harvester company i! at Akron, Ohio, which is devoted exclu- sively to the manufacture of Interna-3 Interna-3 tional trucks, has an output of sixty j trucks a day and they are working to 3 full capacity. That seems like a good 3 many trucks, but when you stop to con- sider that concerns like the Standard Oil company and the American Tele- phone & Telegraph company are con-! con-! stantly adding to their fleets of Inter-! Inter-! nationals, it is not so hard to under-j under-j stand why they go so fast. For ex-j ex-j ample, the Standard Oil company of 3 Indiana is now operating more than 700 i International trucks and this number is j being increased every month, while the American Telephone & Telegraph com-! com-! pany is using between 1000 and 1500. i "Some business men in thi3 territory 1 may be under the impression that the International is a new and comparatively compara-tively untried truck in this part of the country. These men will be interested in knowing that there are today exactly ex-actly eighty-eight International trucks : in use in the state of Utah and every I one of them is giving complete satis-h satis-h faction." i Mr. Beck reports that the Utah Mo-i Mo-i tor Car company has on its sales floor ; ready for immediate delivery three-' three-' quarter ton, one ton and one and one-J one-J half ton models of the International. Their supply of two-ton trucks has been i exhausted, but another shipment is on i the wav and they expect to be in no-1 no-1 sition to make delivery on this model 3 also in the very near future. ; The demand for Packard passenger j cars and Packard trucks in the inter-J inter-J mountain west and in all other parts of ' the country is greatly in excess of the i available factory outnut, according to : I the officials of' the Utah Motor Car j company. The unusually large de-i de-i mands which the government has made i upon the Packard manufacturing facil-i facil-i ities makes it advisable for prospective ; Packard owners to place their orders at once. |
