TRUCKS BUILT FOR GOUfJTRY SERVICE I Rural Transportation Troubles Trou-bles and How They May Be Avoided. Perhaps one of the biggest questions that confronts the individual 01 corpora-1 corpora-1 lien toda y using po w ei" v a iron s I to ligrluen the t: a asportation burden of the nation is truck service in the country districts. Too many owners an I drivers of trucks in iie every thin;; for granted, trust 10 Providence, as it were, and stnrt out on long' drives with heav y loads without taiv-'.r.p taiv-'.r.p alops some of the smaller and most vk.a parts that may need replacement at any moment. Most: trucks are built to give long service without these parts giy-ing giy-ing way. but an ex : ra si rain or an exceedingly ex-ceedingly heavy pud over a had scot in the road may snao something, and t hen there is a iong hike back to the service station, usually considerable swearing, much loss of time and money because of the delay, and often the man loses about half of his enthusiasm for a truck on the wav ba.-k to town. Trouble like this may be avoided in several ways. U is a grand idea to know that your truck is in tiptop shape before starting on a long, hard pull; also it is wise to have several extra parts In the i tool box and plenty of extra spark piugs; but it is perhaps the best plan to buy a truck, in the lirst piace. that is noted ur its strong construction, durability and ! efheienev. This will eliminate much of the trouble that falls to the lot of those who are trying to give truck service in remote sections, far from home and service ser-vice station. Such a truck may cost a little more. and. without question, such a ' truck is worth a whole lot more. Here's wher the White truck comes in. I savs W. B. Mendenhall, manager of the White Motors company, local distributor ; for White power wagons and passenger : ca rs. i ; "'White trucks are built up to a stand- i ard and not down to a price." he stated. ! "Thev are equipped to withstand most anv road shock and have very few snnll pf.rts to set out of order or break. But ail such parts on a White are within easy reach of the driver, easy to get at. and we always carry a large stock on hand. Kvery truck driver should have a full equipment of such parts :n his tool box if he is making: mak-ing: country drives. The White truck, built staunch and strong, is the idea! truck for countrv service. Of course, it is a truck that costs more: but a truck that will go over the country roads and not cause vexatious and costly delays, that , will last longer, pull as much or more, be , economical on tires, gas and oil. is cer- tr.in'.y worth more. "With the wr pressing down more and more on the industrial life of the nation and becomine more and more of a subject sub-ject to he dealt with constructively and whole-heartedly here in this great country coun-try of mountains and magnificent valleys: with transportation not almot, but a vas: ly bigger question than production, the truck must come to the rescue of the people who live in the country. U ir:iist haul th.m their supplies and must hrins to the city their products: also it vmist help relieve the freight hauling situation, sit-uation, which, from the standpoint of rail service, grows more aggravated every day. '"AVe speak for the White: we believe in The White, and so will you if you buy one."
