TR.AVETING SATESMEN'S AUTO MITEAGE JUMPS IN T960

Traveling salesmen in the lumber industry are driving further in 1960 to make their sales than they did in 1959.

Average mileage for lumber salesmen driving autos on company businesses rose to 7,622 mrles per month for the first four months of 1960, compared to a monthly average of 1,539 miles for the same period of 1959. This coveis business mileage only.

This r,vas disclosed by A. J. Schoen, president of Wheels, Inc., Chicago, the country's leading auto fleet leasing firm, u'ho revealed the results of a national survey covering all industries.

"Increased competition for sales is the major reason for the upsurge in miles being driven by salesmen in making their calls," Schoen said. "Salesmen report that their customers are tougher on price, are making increased demands for speedier deliveries, and are more exacting as to the quality of the merchandise they order."

The 12-month average for the lumber industry for 1959 was 18,150 miles, Schoen said. Projected average for i960 is approximately 19,500 miles, he added. Annual averages reflect the much lower mileages traveled for business in summer months as a result of vacations and the sharp drop in driving by salesmen immediately before and after Christmas.
