The Lansing, Mich, State
Journal, for Oct. 2, 1919, says in
part:
Owing to the unprecedented
activities in the Southwestern
Oil fields and the demand for a
heavy duty truck that is able to
stand up under heavy loads and
rough going the a wheel drive
truck is now experiencing a big
demand both in Texas and Okla
homa. There are no roads and
the trucks are loaded to the linn
it. So great is the rush in the
oil fields that trucks are given
no care and seldom repaired. If
they ego bust" they are aban-
doned and their life, owing to
hard usage and rough going de-
ponds entirely upon what's in
the trucks, say dealers"

The Stock
of
Bollstrom Four
Wheel Drive
Trucks and Tractors

You are invited seriously to
consider the purchase of this
stock before the present issue is
sold out.
The fact is, that when you
buy Bollstrom Motors, Inc,
stock, you enter with us into the
very heart of the automotive in
dustry. You read about motor
factories, spring factories, tire
factories, carburetor factories,
wheel factories, magnetic fac
tories, and the whole line of
auto accessories plants. They
represent huge investments and
earn immense profits. But what
would they be if they were not
supported by the manufacturers
of complete motor vehicles?
They would not exist; would
never have come into being
Therefore, the very root and
foundation for all this motor ac-
cessory prosperity is wrapped
up in the complete motor vehicle
maker and his ability to produce
what the market demands. The
rest of them all have to sell their
product to him, or by reason of
the fact that he makes the cars.
This is the sort of offering we
are making you now. THIS is
THE LARGE UNLIMITED OP-
PORTUNITY. Build on this
foundation with us.

The Product
Bollstrom Four
Wheel Drive
rucks and Tractors

Maurice Bollstrom was first
to conceive a Practical Four
Wheel Drive and make it a Com
mercial, Marketable vehicle. His
successful use of his internal
gear axle as designed in his
truck, popularized this form Of
drive axle for motor vehicles.
The lifelong tutelage he re-
ceived from his father, the late
Alexis Bollstrom, who during
the Civil war was in charge of
the construction of a number OF
those Cheese Boxes" the Eric
son Monitors, gave him a fund
Of mechanical knowledge and
practical experience. Trained
by such a father, he could not
bow to the obstacles encount-
cred, but set out to prove, and
did prove, the Four Wheel Drive
a commercial success over a dec
ade ago. He produced the first
successful Duplex truck. His
life since that time, excepting
the period he served in the Tank
Corps during the war where he
was appointed mechanical in
structor in the School for Tanks.
has been devoted to the refine
ment of designs which are now
ready to be produced for the
market, Bollstrom designed
from the ground up, the Boil
strom Four Wheel Drive.
