The writer was dumfounded in

extent of their operations. This is
the most complete and up-to-datc
truck and truck accessory as well rs
repair shops south of Kansas CITY.
and 1t is said that there is none west
OF Kansas City that equals it in
scope and equipment. Besides the
factory trucks, for which they arc
distributors, they manufacture
special bodies for particular pur-
poses. trailers OF different capacities ,
and rebuild trucks that are worse
for wear. Mr.. Whitchurch has the
reputation of being one of the most
efficient and practical mechanics in
the country and he has a corps of
in his. shop that under
stand the truck business to the
smallest detail. As result they are
IN a position to render most ef--
lcient service for all truck ailments.
In his complete machine shops is
installed a hydraulic press with
power OF from $50 to 392 tons pres
'ure used in removing the rims from
he truck wheels which enables them
o rebuild wheels that have become
oose and worn, placing them in as
rood condition as when new.
Thousands OF dollars is invested in
he parts department which saves
he Republic truck users in MANY
instances, days and weelss. and

minor repairs are necessary. This is I
service that too much importance
annot be placed on. for time in
