Packard Truck with rush order of lumber. From 85% to 95% of the live load is carried by the rear axle of the Packard—with less vibration and greater ease of handling Can the Lumberman Lower His Handling Costs THE modern lumber- man is distinguished by his insistence upon accurate figures—not guess- work—in every department of his business. Such things, for example, as the National Truck Cost System giving exact data as to truck performance. A typical National Stand- ard report on a Packard Truck over a six months' period, shows an average daily service of eight hours, with not an hour lost for repairs; an average daily haul of 7000 feet of lumber and an average of 34 miles a day on the road. Once the lumberman be- gins to get running costs on his truck, he knows which to keep and which to scrap— and what make of truck to put his money on in the future. Here are some facts col- lected by the National Truck Owners Conference operat- ing in 16 cities. Packard Trucks show 10 per cent lower gasoline costs than any other. They show30 per cent 1 ower repair costs than any other. They show a lower wage cost per ton-mile transpor- tation — make the trip in shorter time. Ninety per cent of all truck owners who have used the System for a year or more and have compared the Packard with other trucks have standardized on Packard. The Lumberman who wants to cut down his han- dling costs will see the bear- ing of these figures in his individual business. "Ask the Man Who Owns One" PACKARD MOTOR CAR COMPANY, Detroit
