FIRST LIBERTY TRUCK
BUILT FOR THE u. S.
Great Secrecy Maintained In Con-

Purposes.

LIMA. Ohio. October e.-The first lib
erty motor truck for the United States
Army, product of the greatest motor
truck designers of the country and
the combined genius of twelve motor
truck plants and sixty-two automobile
parts factories, has been completed here
at local manufacturing plant.
The standardized machine, OF which
$4,000 copies will be turned out in the
first half of 1918 for the Army, IS said
to represent the perfection of automo-
bile truck development. Its motor
power Is derived from the new liberty
motor. recently perfected at Washing
ton by War Department experts.
The first liberty motor truck was
built in the greatest secrecy to protect
1t from enemy eyes. A building with
out windows and lighted only by sky
lights housed the truck during the
three weeks of its construction. The
plant was closely guarded by armed
men night and day.
