HERBERT HOOVER says: “The motor truck has given every town an extended radius of food supply by some 50 miles, and thereby protects such vital matters as milk and perishables.” Formerly 10 miles was as far as the farmer could profitably haul his produce. The increasing number of motor trucks on the farm is making the farmer more and more independent of other forms of transportation. It is extending a primary market five times, giving the farmer greater security and doing much to insure him the full profit from his crops and produce. E. E. La Schum, Superintendent of Equipment of the American Railway Express Company, says that while the average mileage of trucks is about 40 miles per day, they are capable of making 100 miles without undue strain. This means that in every truck there are 60 unused daily transportation miles, which can be used when emergency calls. The farmers of the 10 states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) own 46,582 trucks. These represent unused, potential transportation of 2,794,920 miles per day—quite enough to make the farmer feel reasonably independent and to make the city dweller secure. The value of these trucks to their owners, and to the community, depends upon an ample supply of gasoline and oils, instantly available when needed. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), recognizing its duty to the public, has organized its distributing facilities to a point where only a complete breakdown of public utilities can prevent its supplying these trucks with oil and gasoline needed, no matter in what comer of the 10 states they may be. In the cycle of service to which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is committed, the truck plays just as important a part as the automobile and the tractor. ✓ This entire organization is working as one man, to perfect a complete service, and to maintain this service at such a maximum of efficiency that no piece of automotive machinery in the Middle West need ever be delayed a single moment of usefulness through lack of suitable petroleum products.
