ButThis truck will deliver that tons to a dealer twenty-five miles away in two hours. This truck will do it whether it is 100 in the shade or 20 below zero, and almost as well through winter snow and ice as on an early autumn day.

This truck will work 23 hours a day if you want it to. This truck will advertise your house as one giving prompt service--one that is up to date. So there are four things that horses--any number of horses- -cannot do for you--that only the motor truck can do. The motor truck is a "substitute" for the horse truck to only about the same extent that the trolley car is a substitute for the horse car; beyond that the motor truck, like the trolley car, has created its own field- a field of new and wider possibilities. The Line of Trucks offers special advantages that we would like to tell you about.
