cnt matter. This is the actual diff.
ference between real scrvice. which
the manufacturer strives to give,
and the mere selling of repair
parts.
Service does not mean only that
which you get from the local s.rv-
ice station handling a particular
truck. Master trucks have service
in-built. Naturally every truck must
come to a service station at inter.
walls, but the balanced oversize con
struction OF Master trucks ENSURES
use which means that their visits
to the service station are COMPARE
lively few.
"Coopeestion between the truck
owner, the dealer and the factory is
necessary. II trucks are TO give a
nlEh maximum OF service and every
truck owner should understand that
he cannot be too explicit whom or.

best possible continuous accomplish
ment from motor vehicle having
due regard for it's design, capacity
and life. II is obvious chat the

THE truck manufacturer, who is
actually engaged in selling auto
motive transportation has assum-
ed a certain definite obligation to
his customers, which endure
throughout the life OF the truck.
However, the service which the
factory performs in maintaining an
adequate supply OF parts, issuing
the necessary parts lists and inStrUC-
ton books, advising users how best
to operate and maintain their equip
nent to gain the highest efficiency
is but the beginning. This part is
very necessary, but there is some
thing else.
There is n wide difference be
tween real service extended by the
truck dealer and the mere merchan-
dising OF parts. 1t is a compare

stock of replacements. but to
handle them successfully, keep
