Never before in our history has there been such a crop of small fruits and vegetables as. will be pro duced this season.

O. B» Chicago Every minute wasted on the road by slow, inefficient hauling and delivery costs you real money. Horses take from three to four times as long to cover the ground as it will take you when you install Smith Form-a-Trucks in your service. Three to four miles an hour is the best horses can do with a ton load. Smith Form-a-Truck replaces the slow, time wasting walk of horses with a speed of from ten - to fourteen miles an hour under every condition of work. And it costs no more to buy 'a Smith Form - a-Truck than it does to buy a good pair of horses equal to the work o l hauling a ton load. If your hauling or delivery reqt;:res all-day service every working day of the year, jej must ha\e it least two teams for every wagon.
