Business Methods in City Affairs Progressive cities and towns are rapidly applying common sense business methods to the municipal affairs. Nine times out of ten this means the adopting of rapid and economical means of haulage by motor truck. There is really no reason why the people's money should be wasted on out-of-date equipment and methods. Towns in all parts of the country are successfully using Federal trucks for haulage of all kinds, and are doing the work better and at a lower cost. Write for "Traffic News," an interesting magazine of truck haulage, which will be mailed without charge. The City of Lebanon, N. H., is using this Federal to haul material for road construction and street repair, also to haul away rubbish and waste. |
