why I think PaCkards arc the best
TrtIks Made,

BY G. W. HEAD
Manager Freight Transportation.
Packard oklahoma Motor Co.
There are many reasons why |
think tho Packard Is the best truck
made. but / believe that the main
reason is because they are built en-
uroly by the Packard company, each
aud every part under Packard su-
perviSion. and this supervision even
goes as lar back as the timber in
forests and tho ore in the mines. 1t
is only by such supervision that We
can know what is I'm a packard---it
Is only by such care that We can
control Packard quality and main
tain Packard standards
II is a matter of great pride to u
Packard man to show tho wonderful
care and workmanship that charac-
terizcs every Packard part. This fact.
coupled with the wonderful perform
ance of Packard trucks in the hard
est service, accounts for the cnthus-
iasm of every Packard man.
