Typical of this is the confectionery trade in <which service often counts for more in building up trade and standing than even the quality of the goods. ! T may be news to many wholesale confectioners and other business men who have like distribution problems to hear that it costs less money to carry out a good distribution service than it does a poor one. Poor service is usually the result of hit-or-miss methods and the attempt to save a little money at the outset. The farsighted business man puts aside the suggestion to purchase a cheap motor truck—just as he puts aside the temptation to overstock a customer in order to save a couple of delivery trips by doing so. The return of spoiled goods is one extra tax on his business he wishes to avoid. = k3 So does he wish to avoid unexpected repair bills on his motor truck equipment. k3 The Packard method of selling truck transpor- tation rather than just a truck is proving to be popular with concerns whose business rests on service to large numbers of retail stores. In the first place, it enables him to know what part of his expense of doing business is charge- i able to service. In the second, it fumishes him with a truck that insures keeping those costs down to his pre- determined figures. : It is well to emphasize the importance of the latter—because many a business man has tried to determine his costs beforehand—only to find that the upkeep costs of his ordinary trucking equip- ment made his actual figures as uncertain as the whim of a child. There are 'more than one hundred thousand miles built into every Packard truck. When you compare a Packard with other trucks your comparison should cover the number of those trucks it takes fo equal the hundred thousand miles of a single Packard! k4 T kd The new man in the confectionery business or any other field must hustle for trade and must deliver the goods. You may be sure he will have his equipment up-to-date. Perhaps some of the present established mem- bers of the confectionery trade might like to check up on present truck transportation costs in order to prepare for increased competition after July first.
