"Milk dealers operating light trucks," he declares, "find that properly prop-erly controlled spring rebound lessens bottle breakage and speeds up deliveries deliv-eries wonderfully. Bakers have told me a similar story. Pies, cakes and breads, particularly, are perishable merchandise and can't stand much rough going and corning. Spoiling is negligible, however, if the car springs are made to behave themselves. Then there are flowers. Florists say that an efficient recoil check reduces very materially the damage to posies and potted plants during delivery." Less Egg Breakage. "And I know a proprietor of a Lankershlm egg ranch," he adds, "who reduced his losses through egg breakage break-age 75 per cent by having his Dodge truck equipped with stabilators. He used to figure his loss from broken hen fruit at about $1,-100 a year. Now, he says, it is not more than $1 a day, or about $300 a year." Dogs and Fowls.
