Summary: "The Rural Motor Express" is a publication produced by the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense, written during the early 20th century, specifically in 1918. This book is a governmental report that addresses the effective utilization of motor trucks for rural transportation during a time of increased demand for goods due to World War I. The central topic focuses on the need for sustainable transportation solutions to conserve food and labor, as well as to improve efficiency in the movement of agricultural products from rural areas to urban markets. The content of "The Rural Motor Express" outlines the challenges faced by the transportation systems during wartime and advocates for the enhanced use of motor trucks to alleviate the burden on railroads while optimizing food production and distribution. It details the operational mechanics of establishing rural express routes that allow farmers to consolidate and deliver their products efficiently. By proposing a systematic approach to organizing daily transport services connecting farms and markets, the book highlights the economic benefits, such as increased food production, effective use of labor, and improved access to necessary supplies for farmers. The report emphasizes the importance of local cooperation and community involvement in the success of this transportation initiative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
