From Evening News 20 March 1925:



"Mr. E. W. McCracken has been trading for the last 15 months in his Federal Truck between Tathra, Bemboka and Nimmitabel. During that time he has travelled over 15,000 miles and averages, despite the miles of steep pulling on Brown Mountain, 8 miles to the gallon of fuel. He attends to the whole of the mechanical section of his truck, and so far he has not even bought a spark plug. The "Evening News" motor man met Mr. McCracken at Bemboka. He is a splendid type of sturdy manhood."
