Show OGDEN BECOMES TMWIBUTI ' CENTER Realizing that unit by unit Ogden has added food and other manufactur- ing plants to her industries until It is i now an industrial center of the inter-mountain inter-mountain country tho Gramm Bernstein Bern-stein motor truck company of Limn Ohio has elected to place its inter-mountain inter-mountain distributing agency in Ogden, Og-den, selecting as its representative tho I Cadillac Auto company of which Bill Taylor, tho truck man. is the manager. man-ager. Surrounded as Ogden is by a won-1 derfully fertile agricultural district comparatively few of the products are shipped away in raw form. Fruits and' vegetables are canned or evaporated; grains are converted into flour or cereal cer-eal foods; beets are transformed into 1 sugar and the by-products are fa- j mous as stock foods. The Ogden Packing & Provision ! company. The Utah Cereal factory and tho Everfresh evaporating plants 1 have more than doubled their capacity during tho past year while all other food producing companies have in creased their output, and still there is : an untouched field able to support many more such enterprises in this rich farming district of which Ogden j is the center. Many of these plants have already ' provided themselves with motor truck transportation thus receiving the ' growers' product at their very door, saving tho producer expense and time , required for the haul to market. While the shortage of man-power! is great during these war times and 1 will undoubtedly be greater, the sav- I lng in that alone if thcro was no j other is ample to justify the invest - ment and it is safe to predict that ! nearly all factories will seriously con- I sidcr if they do not feel obliged to I adopt motor transportation, as in the j majority of cases it is cheaper in every way than the fold plan. While there are many good trucks on the : market, any one of which will provev a good investment provided It is han-1 died by a responsible experienced firm, the name of Gramm Bernstein ranks ! among the leaders in this field. j B. A. Gramm conceived the idea of i motor truck transportation when the j automobile industry was an infant and had a very uncertain future. i Think back eighvuen years and we believe you will agree that any man j who could see into the future and discern the rieed of motor transporta- ' tion as we know it today, deserves the honored name of pioneer. Mr. Gramm has always been a firm , believer in the motor truck and has concentrated his energies to the study ! of motor trucking and its kindred problems. He has never deviated and branched out Into the pleasure car field even when some years ago it seemed apparent that pleasure cars were destined to be the mainstay of the industry. There has never been produced in his plant any thing but a motor truck and his- offorts have been always to associate with himself, men who were trained in and understood the motor truck field. 1 1 It signifies the successful accomplishment accom-plishment of a great purpose; the design de-sign and production in large quantities of commercial vehicles for numberless business uses. The inevitable result of correct design de-sign is endurance and this has been the accomplishment. The locomotive of today is one of the most perfectly built and developed mechanisms of the age, yet if a locomotive loco-motive was required to take the place of the average motor truck it would be in the scrap heap 'in a short while. Running on an especially prepared carefully surfaced roadbed, handled by exports and yet It has spent upon it at least five hours inspection and attention at-tention out of every twenty-four, such as would be called in the automobile business "service." The best piece of machinery ever built will not run indefinitely without attention, preferably tho attention of experts. Realizing this the Gramm Bernstein company requires its dealers deal-ers to not only be in a position to give "service" inspeclion, advice, etc., but to really do it. The Cadillac company under Bill Taylor's management has mado a specialty of'servlce in the past and as it will now concentrate its energies on the selling of motor trucks the company com-pany is arranging to install a day and night service forre. An important feature in the taking over of the distribution of the Gramm Bernstein and other trucks In this section sec-tion is that It makes Ogden a truck jobbing center which has heretofore been a somewhat lackin? industry. The Ohio firm mado no mistake in selcct-I selcct-I ing Ogden as a distributing center. oo |
