that 620O0 men had passed through the Rainbow division. so that one can get a fairly clear idea of the number of wounded that were taken care of by GMC ambuanCes.
 Tn that entire year of fighting only seN en GMC ambulances were out of commission for more than 90 hours, and two of these met with accidents. The average weekly repair percentage was 2 per cent. which is S per cent less than is allowed under the army esti-
 mate for trucks of this class in peace time. Four GMC's were lost entirely,
 being destroyed by direct artillery hits.
 Our GMC's are entitled to three ser vice stripes, and from a mechanical
 standpoint, considering the absence of repair parts, are as near 100 per cent as any vehicle could be. They cer- tainly are entitled, in my opinion, to q
 medal for having saved a lot of boys who otherwise would never have come back
 In the chart which I kept of the GMC trucks all through our time in of the way in which they stood up in the days of heavy travel and fighting From this chart the GMC record shows plainly. But no printed page can tell their real value in terms of the lives they saved and the pain and suf- fering that they eased. As motor 1 trucks they did their duty perfectly and I shall always feel that I was for
 tunate in having had GMC equipment 1 in my command.

 As a man is known by the company he keeps so can a buyer be judged to a certain extent by the companies he buys from. This is one angle of the purchasing game especially important to the man selecting office equipment
 In addition to the quality of material and workmanship and the cost it is we'll to ask these questions: Are the manufacturers of this article thor oughly reliable?" and Does their his tory, past and present, indicate that they are in business flor keeps2" The same questions apply as well to dealers or manufacturers representatives.
 Permanency in business and as rep resentatives for any article of office equipment are demanded especially in dealers. Once a certain make of files has been adopted in any office the manager wants assurance that addi- tional equipment of the same make can always be secured from a dealer in his territory. Otherwise it may be neces- sary to repudiate the original selection and install a new line, an expensive process.
 Dealers and Products Come and Go
 During the past few years almost anyone could start up in business and be successful. These were abnormal years and the many new firms estab- l liShed under war conditions have not met With any real test
 Days of business depression must come in the process of readjustment. i When they do arrive it will be easy to determine between the business found l ed on ability and hard work and the l business enjoying only superficial l prosperity and unable to bear up under | the stress of tagging demand and fall ing prices.
 Look back over the past few years and recall the countless number of new | office devices which enjoyed a wide 1 sale for a few months and suddenly | disappeared from the market. Consider | how many dealers or manufacturers I representatives operated in your terri tory during the same period and have since departed for pastures new. | At the same time how many new dealers have taken their places or how many new articles of office equipment are now enjoying brief popularity More important yet-how long vii they last? Products and dealers come and go. Only those that come to stay are worthy of consideration from the buyer who gives thought to future re quirementS.
 Reliability

It was a "let the buyer beware system. Today a business only pros pers as it renders service. The canny buyer picks the firms from whom he

Officer of the Rainbow Division
 Somewhere in the motor transport corrals of the army in France there Is parked a group of battle-scarred am balances that have GMC on their ra- diators. What their future will be, who can say.
 But their past is a glorious record Of service. They are the ambulances that followed the fortunes of the Rain bow division through five sectors in France and that ended their active service career at Singiz on the Rhine
 In addition to their battle records, their mileage total of active service averages 18.200 miles of practically unbroken driving with an average of 10 miles to the gallon of gasoline.
 Moreover, in their service, there is an accurate account of 62.000 wounded and sick men sent back to hospitals in them. to say nothing of the thousands whose names never were obtained.
 And to me, at least, these GMC's are more than friends. I took them in charge fresh off a transport at Brest and soldiered with them until we broke for home after reaching the

buys as carefully as ne selects mer- chandise.
 The reliability of dealer or manufac- turer is best expressed in the willing ness to stand squarcIy behind products or merchandise and make prompt ad- justments when at fault. The big ma tiOnally known concerns and many smaller ones spend thousands of dol lars annually advertising this spirit of service and responsibility-
 The firm operating contrary to these principles, even though it's prices are lower, is bound to prove an unsatis- factory connection in the long run. The house featuring a guarantee so worded as to relieve dealer and manufacturer of all responsibility should also be avoided.
 The whole fabric of business is built on credit and credit is founded on con fidence. The safest plan for the buyer is to disregard the cut price appeal and guarantees and order only from such firms as have earned his confidence

down by the subcommittee, and a
land to meet in a room in the Audi
