Show HI TillIGS !S ! I MB Ability to Get Produce to Market Quickly Brings More Profit. Farmers are being benefited hy motor trucks, probably to a greater extent than any other class of producers, principal' prin-cipal' because of the aid the motor truck gives in stock raisins;, enabling the farmer to transport his hogs and cattle to market in a few hours and thus avoid shrinkage, according to Manager Man-ager J. Duncan of tho Kandall-Repub-lic company, distributors of Kepublic trucks. ''Everyone knows, or 'most everyone who has ever lived in the country or become familiar with the marketing 'of livestock, that a 300-pound hog will weigh only 20S pounds aflf:r being hauled for twelve miles in a farm wagon," said Mr. Duncan. "Hogs, strange to say, will shrink like a yard of almost-woolen cloth. Hogs are not travelers. Thoy lose weight in just, a few miles over a country road and in an ordinary conveyance. The farmer has found the motor truck and its transportation possibilities to be the solution of" the shrinkage problem. Many Republic trucks are in use on the farms of this district, and many more will be in service within a short time, for the farmer is learning that the Republic truck is his best aid in carrying on his business." Sales of Republic trucks made recently recent-ly by the Randall-Republic company included the following: O. B. Pickett of Burley, Idaho, model 19, two and one-half "ton truck, writh pneumatic tire equipment; 0. F. Clemmenee of Tal-madge, Tal-madge, Uintah basin, Utah, special model with pneumatic tires; J. C.
