Local Ohio farmer Otto X. Gall near Columbus led a farm efficiency push called the industrial romance. He bought a one ton Republic truck and now makes three weekly trips to market loading lettuce rhubarb and corn. Gall says the truck saves feed and horse costs, enhances profits, and frees him from horse upkeep, proving a single motor vehicle can replace multiple teams even on icy roads.

The rubber industry trade committee forwarded the proposal to Peck for action.
