Good Roads Truck-'Always on the Job'

摘要

In the late 1880s, America's roads were rarely more than dirt tracks that were impassable in inclement weather. As bicycles and, later, automobiles came into widespread use, however, the demand grew for roads capable of safely and efficiently handling increased traffic. The campaign to improve the nation's streets and highways came to be known as the Good Roads Movement (see Equipment Echoes Issue 84) and was in its heyday in the 1910s and 1920s.
