Packard Trucks for Immediate
DeLirery

Packard truck production has been con-
tinuous. The only change from 1907 war
work is that formerly the Government took
practically the full production, and now
part of the production is available for the
public.
The Packard truck building organization
is the finest IN the world. We have kept it
free from the Generalization Of hasty proc,
esses and the Over,strain Of high-pressure
production.
If anything, it has been strengthened and
improved during the war period, and the
standards Of material and Workmanship
even more rigidly maintained.

The Packard Organization as
Transportation Specialists

Whether of passenger or freight, and
whether by highroad or airroute, this whole
question of transportation is one we are
treating with intensive specialization.
What with problems of reconstruction,
the certain and enormous expansion of bust
ness, the additional strain on already over
taxed and inadequate railroads-with no
immediate prospect of railway betterment-
there is crying need for special study and
analysis of all other factors and means of
service.
No subject before the business world is of
more vital importance. 1t is one too often
thought of In the round, and treated in
vague, general terms.
As individual problems become more
specific and acute, it will be found of prac.
teal help to discuss them with the Packard
Company, who probably possesses more new
data on transportation than any other con-
Germ in America.

detect reduced quality in cars, in time to
compare it with a quoted price.
Packard responsibility for the service the
car gives is the best insurance a car owner
can have. One reason this insurance means
SO much is the fact that the Packard Com
PanY produces greater proportion of all
the parts that enter into It's car than anv
other automobile concern in America.
You cannot well have responsibility with
out authority. And just to the extent that
a maker depends on factors outside Of his
control, must he contend with varying
standards of quality and impair the authOri-
tative nature Of his guarantee.

No Change in Packard Prices

Packard prices are based on cost of ma
terial There was no rise in Packard prices
during the war period based on what the
traffic would bear. There is no lowering of
quality and consequently no leeway for re-
duction of price at this time.
1t is not easy for the motor car owner to
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1919-01-14

When the Packard concern stopped max
ing passenger cars and went on 1907 war
work, it had on hand finished parts to the
value of six million dollars.
These parts were all of the finest material,
finished in the careful painstaking way of
the Packard organization. No compromise
on quality, no slightest lowering of standards
owing to difficulties in the material situation
or the speeding-up process.
Whatever the pressure or conditions, this
organization knows but one standard of
quality, and that is the best.
1t will be clear to all that the possession Of
this stock of finished parts enables us to re-
sumo production more quickly and smoothly
than otherwise would be possible.
