Of this vehicle are at the disposal OF
all Nash dealers throughout Mr.. War

Whenever we sign up dealer in our

Velle trucks are built In two models

take care OF practically every transpor-

FIVE GALLONS OF
GAS PER SOLDIER
Bethlehem Sales Manager Re-
veals Daily Consumption
Of the A. T. F.

Whatever doubts we might have had
about the war with Germany being a
gasolene war have been d!spelled by
recent figures from tho A. Z. F., said
S. w. Stevenson. general sales manager
for the Bethlehem Motors Corporation
Of Allentown. Pa
Every man who served in Uncle
Sans uniform overseas had an allow
ance Of Ave gallons OF gasolene per
day. That means the total number OF
men, some two million odd. can be
multiplied by 1--WE to get the daily
gasolene consumption OF the American
Expeditionary Forces. Rather an eye
opener. isn't 1t? That Oft quoted phrase
stomach is still true. but IL It wasn't
for gasolene a modern army couldn't
move at all.
That applies equally to American
business. We know that practically
every business man Is sold on the motor
truck idea. but often when he enthuses
over trucks in the abstract he must
be shown the hows and why's when a
truck salesman tries to show him the
economy OF a truck in his particular
business.
In this age a salesman's first effort
Is to really enter into his prospect s
problem and try TO solve II with him.
not for him. That means that the first
thing TO ec!de Is what size truck will
be most economical.
The Bethlehem line Is In ~. az and
5l5 ton Jobs. II We can't hit a pros
pect with that assortment he has an
unusual problem.
