There has been some speculation
as to when the supply of motor trucks
would meet the demand, but those
who are in touch with the situation
and follow it closely. can see no way
to even equal the demand in the near
future" says Ed. Rehkopf, of Reh-
kopf Bros, distributors for Republic
trucks
1T is true that there are more
trucks being built and sold than ever
before. but you must take into consid-
Grafton that the motor truck now has
thousands of uses where a short time
ago it was limited TO a few.
THE export trade is crying for
trucks and 100000 are needed to fill
this demand alone for the current
year, but right here in the United
States in spite of the greatly increased
production, the demand exceeds the
supply.
1.-The motor truck had to virtually
worm its way into general use before
it became an established fact that it
was an actual money saver and now
that this fact has been proven many
trucks which never thought Of them
before.

AERO-EIGHT sPORTsTER

Model .872-four passenger. The
tendency toward the rakish, dash
ing sport model reaches its peak in
the Aero-Eight Sportster. There is
no mistaking the capacity of this
animated creation. It's ability is
written into its very lines. Nowhere
is aerotype body design shown to
better advantage, or the Aero
Eight given freer rein to exhibit its
complete mastery of the entire
gamut of the road. Capable of
racing speeds if desired; vested
with almost double the usual range
of performance, the Aero-Eight
Sportster at the same time pre-
serves those characteristics of COM
fort, unostentatious luxury and
economy that are required by the
most conservative.

Model 870-seven passenger. A
car as impressive in its lines, as per-
feet in its symmetry, possessing the
poise and spirit of the Aero-Eight
Tourster, requires no elaborate de-
scription. 1t bespeaks the power,
the speed, the comfort, the econ
omy with which it is endowed. The
soundness of its mechanism, the
wide range Of its performance are
second only to its inspiring beauty
and the care and taste exercised in
it's appointment. It has just that
appearance of vigor which one de-
sires in car possessing the native
capacity of the Aero-Eight. An
hour in traffic-a mile on the road
will establish irrevocably its superb
ability to perform.
