BRIDGER. MOTOR CYCLE DEPARTMENT, ’PHONE 66 > ELTHAM. AMERICA v. ENGLAND. TT would be a pity to allow the public interest and amusement that was engendered by our reply to a recent famous advertisement of one of our competitors "o die down for the want of some further nteresting information on the same subject being disseminated, so whilst we are rwaiting their next effort we wish to Bention another aspect of the controreray. \ For the sake of pleasurable argument, Ve will admit that the “White” Truck airly represents the best class of truck hat America produces, and we presume rar opponents will admit that the “Leyand” likewise represents the beet clasa if Truck that England produces. Whatever may be said of the American superiority over England in Motor Car iroduction and value, we venture to say bat no unprejudiced person will argue •therwise than that for solid value and ong-lived service. English Commercial Vehicles far out-distance the Yankee roods, even though the selling price sere is higher than the American of simJar tonnage—and by the way the actual telling price here of the English Truck is B many cases actually lower than the American ones—but we will take say two machines of 5 tons capacity each with the English machine selling at £l7OO and the Yankee at £l6OO. The point is that the English machines are built to the Imperial weight of ?2401bs per ton, whereas the Yankee builds his to the short ton of 20001bs, but both are commonly referred to here is 3-ton. 4-ton, 5-ton, and so on, which b obviously wrong. Now, in the case referred to above, the letual built-in carrying capacity of John bull’s production is and Uncle ?am’s is IO.OOOIbs, although, mind you, wth are referred to as 5-ton machines, :nd the English price is £lOO more —so ;hat to get at the beginning of the real ralue of the trucks you must divide the arrying capacity of each into the sellng price, with the result that England wins handsomely, as always when value f considered, as follows— Cost per lb of carrying capacity: England 3/04 America 3/2 2/5 Let this be an argument in support of purchasing British goods, which is the uarket for our produce.
