out that the defeat of Referen-

That Postwar Jeep!

prone TO evaluate the postwar"
jeep in terms OF the army
model.
The army jeep is combat

Job.
The postwar jeep-tthey let
stockholders peek at II when l
attended the annual meeting -
is an adaptation for home use.
which nevertheless retains
many of the characteristics and
all the desirable features OF its
sturdy army predecessor.
An analogous situation would
he for som Q one 10 say that
Consolidated Vultee planes have
no future because the B-24 uses
too much gas and lacks certain
comfort features. It's safe TO
say that the postwar Consoli-
dated plane will be a better
plane because of lessons learned
from the B-24.
And it's an equally safe bet
that Charles Sorensen wouldn't
risk his reputation on vehicle
which uses more gas and oil
than a car and has only
