WAR BOOSTED MOTOR TRUCKS
All Returning Soldiers Praise
Their Wonderful Performances.

Many prominent business men have
said that the war advanced the truck
Industry at least ten years beyond It's
normal increase. Thousands and
thousands of men from all parts
of the world who were on the
fighting line in Europe saw the wohder-
full performance OF motor trucks, how
they actually revolutionized military ma
npuvers. These men are returning TO
their homes and OF course cannot help
but advocate the use of motor trucks
says Eugene =. Herman, president of
the Herman Motor Truck Company,
Eastern distributor for Stewart motor
trucks.
within sixty days the Stewart fac
tory at Buffalo has received orders for
Stewart TRUCKS to be shipped TO China,
Cuba, japan. Argentina. Philippine Isl
ands, Denmark. Dutch East Indies, AZ
RIGA and Brazil. In addition to this
great foreign business, which the Stewart
factory did not enjoy before the war.
there has been a great increase In the
demand for Stewards throughout the
United States.
Nearly 100000 American boys have
been released from cantonments and
practically all OF the transportation work
at our environments was transacted with
motor trucks. The Stewart factory looks
upon every cantonment boy as booster
for the motor truck industry"
