Gives International Line Wider Range, Marks Milestone ‘ in Truck History Introduction of the new Interna- tional half-ton motor truck marks 8 significant milestone in motor truck history, according to J. C. Taylor, |sole manager of the Bismarck branch of the International Harvester company.

International trucks now range from @ half-ton to seven and one-half tons Generations of experience in the farm equipmet business have taught International Harvester the impor- tance of service to its own develop- ment and the welfare of the customer, Taylor says.

The nine-inch clutch is of the single-plate type with built- in vibration damper. The transmis- sion has three speeds forward and re- verse. Final drive is of the spiral- bevel gear type with semi-floating axle shafts. Semi-elliptic front and .|rear springs are of chrome-vanadium steel and have self-adjusting shackles. Forty-spoke, 18-inch wire whzels, a left front fender well, spare wheel, and} spare wheel carrier are standard equipment. Two attractive types of bodies are available. Onc is a de luxe sedan panel body and the other an all-steel pick-up body with coupe-type cab. The loading compartment of the panel body is 72 inches long, 46% inches wide, and 47 inches high.

HOPES MOUNT FOR BIWARCK-HELENA | ARPLANE SERVI Prospects Are Bright, Says Colonel L.'H.. Brittin of Northwest Airways + Hopes for westward extension of the air-mail route from Bismarck rose over the week-end when a party of aeronautical leaders, including Amelia Colonel L. H. Brittin, manager of Northwest Airways, Inc., whose planes fly from the Twin Cities to Bismarck, said prospects are bright for extension of present facilities as far westward as Helena, Mont. Though a survey is being made from here to the west coast, Brittin said, no extension further than Helena can be expected in the near future in view of economic conditions and economy moves planned by congress.

This indicated Brown might be in favor of the northern route for the main trans continental line. He pointed out Northwest Airways’ connections with Canada at Winnipeg as one of the many adyantages of the northern route. The house committee looked on Brown's proposals with favor. ‘The plan calls for a through line from Boston, Mass., to Bismarck.
