WIGHT GETS
.VELIE TRUCK

There is a history and a purpose
behind the new Veiie ton-and-a-h half
truck for which NJ. P. Wight has just
become the local dealer.
The average merchant, whether in
city or country, finds greatest use for
a one-and-one- half ton truck. Par
ticularly is this true of the general
merchant. the transfer man, and
manufacturers who prefer the quick
action Of several one-ard -one- half
ton models to the slower service of
trucks several times heavier.
The majority of lighter capacity
trucks offered for consideration owe
their being to passenger car design;
in other words. they were not funda :
mentally designed as u truck for
truck purposes. This one and-o one
half ton Velie truck on the other hand
takes it's pattern from the larger Velie
truck models. 1t is truck thru and
thru: built to do the work Of a truck
day in and day out withou. hesitation
or delay
The addition Of the Veiie ton-and-
one-half truck gives Mr. Wight fur
Their strength to commanding posi-
ton in the local motor field His
complete line now comprises: Over
land passenger cars. Oldsmobile and
Nelie trucks, Willard batteries and
Fiske tires.-Adv.
