Maua-jer Li.iiu iui of the Intermountain j UIiNuiom! ' l oinj any f-tatcd yesterday j that nrver in his experience has there j hern such a urrnan-l for trucks as his i ,-on,p:ttiy is now experiencing on Rcpub- lie.-. Despite the heavy shipment of Repub- ! lies the Jnternioun'tain Ohlsir.obile company com-pany has made to its dealers throughout through-out Utah and Idaho recently, a canvass of dealers early last week developed the fact that every Republic has been sold and pl.-ucd in the hands of a customer with one or two exceptions, and these ' cxi cot ions ' ' Manager Dnn--an quick-lv quick-lv scK.ed uK'ii in order to secure a oiic tun and a ton ami onc-ha'f for delivery de-livery to Salt Lake customers who were urL'cntly in nee 1 of the cars. The ton, ton and a half and two-ton Republic models are proving extremely popular in this section. The ton and a naif is known as 'the bi middleweight'' middle-weight'' in the Republic line, and it is active in every kind of business where medium tonnage is to be handled. This is the logical sie for a thousand and one ditt'ercnt kinds of work and has proved its merits by profitable operation opera-tion in the hands of thousands of users. The motive power on the ton and a half cars is taken care of by a truck motor with a long stroke, a Fimple, but positive oiling system which nlways keeps the motor ui to its highest ef-ticicnev, ef-ticicnev, high-tension ignition and a carburetor giving real fuel economy. The truck's transmission and big two-piece two-piece drive shaft are built in proportion propor-tion to the motor in proportion to the strain coming to them when the going is bad. The springs are the finest selected steel, heat treated and oil tempered, tem-pered, and the frame, which is of pressed steel channel sections, is far in excess of the size necessary for a ono ami one half ton's work. The rear axle, the unit, really enrrving the load, is the famous fa-mous Uepuhlic-Torbenson internal gear, and there is great strength in the internal in-ternal gear's drive at the rear axle be-caue be-caue a solid tlrop-board high-beam enr-tt-'r the entire load. Manager Ouncau of the Tntermonu-taiu Tntermonu-taiu Ohlsmohile eotnpnnv reports some ' heuw shipments of lieiuiblics en route I to Salt Lake, but declares that until I they arrive, it will be difficult for them ! to make delivery at once on any other j than two-ton Kepuhlie models. |
