Now is the time to make arrangements to get your crops off this year. I would
suggest that you come in and look over Dodge Brothers Two-ton Truck, with combina
tion body, also hand dump attachment, if desired.
For those who want indefinite service in a heavy duty truck, would suggest the
famous White Truck, which can now be delivered in the one ton, two ton, three and
one-half and five ton sizes. For every day in the year service, at a minimum of ex
pense, buy a White.
