VELIE CONCENTRATES ON
TON-AND-A-HALF TRUCK

Light trucks are the order of the
day, says A. P. Heaney, of Great
Falls, state distributor for Montana
for the Velie Motors Corporation, in
explaining why the Velie people are
concentrating on their ton-and-a-half
truck and have eliminated all other
truck sizes.
For 10 years the Velie built
heavy duty trucks said Heaney.
To-day all resources of the big Velie
truck factory are devoted to one mo-
del only-the new ton-and-a-half
that is winning the truck market
wherever demonstrated, and there is
a reason and a good one. The reason
is because Velie evolved a 1 1-2 ton
model that covers 80 per cent of all
trucking requirements with more
speed, with double the service capa-
city and at half the service cost.
"The Velie ton-and-a-half is the
wonder of truckdom. 1t lis the first
truck that brings out all the posi-
bilities of pneumatic equipment. 1t
can do 25 miles an hour heavily load
ed. With new strength and new
power, it is a longer life truck.
Bodies are furnished for every
use, and the truck may be obtained
with either solid or pneumatic equip
ment. With the new Velie 1 IL ton
truck the user can make trucking pay
put big"

ories in Montana that are not cover

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Farmers are beginning to realize
that they should be business men and
use the same business methods used
by merchants and other business peo-
ple. But most farmers don't yet
know the value of good advertising.
Farmers of this State can get good
suggestion from the following story
of a farmer who bought advertising
by the year in the Headlight pub
lished at Big Stone, South Dakota:
(, There Is something new in The
Headlight this week H. l.. Hyatt
came down from his home ten miles
up the lake and inquired what our
rate would be on@a certain amount Of
advertising space by the year. We
told him and he said he would take
lit. He said he always had something
to sell or trade, or else wanted some
thing and he believed that regular
space in The Headlight in which hi
could put anything he pleased at an.
time would be just the thing to &c
results. So there you are. We hav
done good deal Of advertising 70
farmers in the last twenty years, bu
this is the first time we ever sold
farmer years space.
"A good many farmers put up bu
letin boards in front of their farm
and put on a notice of whatever the
have to sell from time to time, whic
