1 BUSINESS NOTICES, IAMERICA V. ENGLAND. TT 'would H a pity fo allow the public interest and amusement that was engendered by our reply to a recent famous advertisement of one o£ our competitors to die down for the want of some further interesting information ok the same subject being disseminated, so whilst we are awaiting tfoeir next effort we wish to mention another aspect of th» controversy. For the sake ©f pleasurable argument, we will admit that the "White'^ Truck fairly represents the best class of truck that America produces, and we presume our opponents will admit that the "Leyland" likewise represents the beat class of truck that England produces. Whatever may be said of the American superiority over England in; motor car production and value, we I venture to say that no unprejudiced person will argue otherwise than" that for solid value and long-lived; service English Commercial Vehicles far outdistance.the Yankee goods, even though the selling price here is higher than the American of similar tonnage, and by the way the actual selling, price here of the English Truck is in many eases actually lower than the .American ones; but we will take, say, two machines of 5 tons capacity each, with the English machine selling at £1700 and the Yankee at £1600. The point is -that the English machines are built to the Imperial weighf of 22401bs *per ton, whereas the Yankee builds his to the short; ton of 20001bs, but both are commonly referred to here^as 3-ton, 4-ton or 5-ton,, and so on, which is obviously wrong. Now in the case referred to above, the actual built-in-carrying-capacity of John Bull's production is 11,2001bs and Uncle Sam's is 10,0001bs; although, mind you, both are referred to as Siton machines, and the English price is £100 more. So that to get at the beginning of the real value of the trucks you must divide the. carrying capacity of each into the selling price, with the result that England wins handsomely —as always when value ii considered— as follows: Cost per lb. of Carrying Capacity: ENGLAND 3s OJd AMERICA 3s 2 2-5 d Let this be an argument" in support of purchasing British goods, which is the market for our produce.
