from one to fleet equipment, who buy on proved specifications,
confine their choice to ten big dominant manufacturers.

Our highly developed and efficient service
department is of inestimable value to Motor
Truck users. It represents an investment of $50,000
and includes every new mechanical device worth while
to expedient service. No truck user availing himself of
our facilities will experience costly delays due to "lay
ing up for repairs."

Our Service Station -will never be closed,
we will render day and night service. For instance,
a truck needing the attention of a mechanic can be
; brought to us at 6 o'clock in the evening and be re
paired ready for duty at 7 o'clock the following morn
