made in the truck industry:
q The owner OF motor truck today
Is in very different position iioIt

- Now. as we see hundreds of fleet

all without due thought OF the Won
dcrful ingenuity and tirelese labors
of those who made such an accom-

average truck owner appreciate what
a reliable piece OF mechanism his mo-
tor truck is. He pays no particular
attention TO II rs long as il runs all
riEht-yet. with the possible exception
OF small percentage OF passenger
ears, no single class OF machinery is
subjected to greater abuse and ne
eject.
This state OF affairs is costing the
motor-truck owners OF America more

ny Of which could he saved i; proper
service were rendered motor trucks
by the dealers and the owners would
only take advantage of it. We can
not hone TO see this situation rem
