Show MAKING A MOTOR TRUCK PAY TO THE UTMOST Photo shows the Lee loader and the Lee special gravity dump motor truck body -as they appear in action. Th'iB particular photo depicts the Lee equipment handling coal economically and on schedule time. The first man in America to make a motor truck actually pay dividends was Lee of tho Lee Loader & Body company com-pany of Chicago. Mr. Lee was then just a contractor, but he figured out a system of running run-ning his trucks on schedule time and to do this efficiency he had to invent a few unique and untried machines. Today the fame of the Lee special gravity grav-ity dumping body for trucks and the Lee loader have spread all over the land and the equipment is selling rapidly rap-idly in every section where haulage problems have to bo met. The V. Ii. Moore companv has been chosen to distribute the Lee truck equipment lino in the intermountain section. Arrangements for this line have been closed through TT. ft. Little, Lee factory representative, who has been in b'alt Lake for the past several davs. The Lee line consists of some 250 sizes and styles of motor truck equip- ment, including gravity, side and end dump loaders and reversible trailers in all capacities up to ten tons. .The Lee automatic gravitv dump body is said to .be a remarkable piece of mechanism, for it actually dumps a ten-ton load clear of the truck or trailer by gravity only, without the aid of a hoist. Its action is entirely automatic and it is only a matter of thirty seconds to dump a one to ten-ton load. Mr. Little says that Mr. Lee, manufacturer manu-facturer of the Lee line, was the first truck-hauling contractor to make a motor mo-tor truck pay. The secret of his success suc-cess was the equipping of his trucks with efficient bodies, loaders and trailers, trail-ers, and then operating the trucks on a regular schedule. While he is in Salt Lake Mr. 'Little intends to conduct a campaign of education edu-cation of motor truck users on how to make their trucks pay. The W. H. Moore company announces that in distributing the Lee line it will endeavor to be absolutelv neutral with aji truck dealers in its territory and will make it possible for anv dealer to equip his trucks with Lee line equipment. |
