Show INTERNATIONAL MOTOR TRUCKS FIND FAVOR IN WYOMING PrM.d one-half-ton International purchased last week by Uinta El evator & Milling company of Evanston, Wyo., from the Utah Motor Car company in Salt Lake. The motor truck business is booming, boom-ing, according to L. J. Gilmer, general manager of the Utah Motor Car company, com-pany, distributors of the International line of trucks, as well as Packard trucks and passenger cars in this section. sec-tion. "The fame of the International for dependability and ecohomy is spreading spread-ing rapidly," said Mr. Gilmer yesterday, yester-day, "and they are selling fast. Among last week's sales was a three and a half-ton Internationafto the Uinta Elevator Ele-vator & Milling company of Evanston, Wyo. F. ' C. Gray, manager , of the Uinta company, came over and drove the truck back himself, and he reports that the trip was just as comfortable as if he had made it in a high-priced passenger aaf. This is the first International Inter-national to be put into service in the neighborhood of Evanston, but we expect ex-pect other sales to follow when the exceptional ex-ceptional service this truck is sure to give its owner becomes known. "There are over a hundred Internationals Interna-tionals now in daily use in Utah alone, and every one of them is rendering highly satisfactory service." The International trucks are made in several models, ranging from three-fourths three-fourths ton to two-ton capacity. Pleased as the officials of the Utah Motor Car company are with the performance of the International motor trucks, they are to an even greater extent ex-tent delighted with the reports coming in regarding the performance of heavy-duty heavy-duty Packard trucks. It has been as distributors for the famous Packard passenger and motor cars that the Utah Motor Car company has attained so much prominence in the intermountain automobile circles. "The big capacity Packard trucks are playing an important part in the hauling of ore in the intermountain country," said Mr. Gilmer. " Over at Ely, Nev., we are operating two five-ton five-ton Packards for the Nevada-United Mines Leasing company. It is a hard sixteen-mile haul from the mines to the railroad at East Ely, and these trucks are making three trips a day with an average overload of 20 per cent. The quality of the big Packards is shown by the fact that several other makes of equipment have been tried for this work and have failed. As the output out-put of the mine increases we expect to add to our fleet of trucks in use there. "The Cardiff mine, too, uses a fleet of five seven-ton Packards in hauling their ore down Cottonwood. 'They begin be-gin operation for the season tomorrow, and reDort their trucks in fine condition condi-tion for the hard work ahead." Packard passenger cars are also moving mov-ing in a most satisfactory way, Mr. Gilmer reports. |
