Douglas Trucks Making
Good on Bad Texas Roads
The Douglas trucks' which have
been shipped to Texai have met
with grea,t- favor in the south on
account of their performance. One
of the two and one-half ton models
was driven from Dallas to Amarillo.
Texas, a distance of 425 miles iri 36
hours. ,This truck carried, in addi
tion to its own weight, a' large
Cleveland tractor, and the roads
over which the truck had to go were
typical Texas "bad roads."
President George Christdpher of
the Douglas Motors corporation has
received the following letter from
L. G. Kibbe of the Kibbe Tractor
and Irnplement company, Dallas,
lexas: ( .
"In conveying to you my thanks for
all that you did- to make our Omaha trip
such a pronounced success, I wartit to ex
press even a deeper appreciation for your

dition to the pleasun afforded all of us
on the trip, our dealers will reap a hand
some profit from the Increased ealn of
Douglas trucks, fiat, to the enthusiasm
created by close contact with you and
your organization, and more particularly
by reasan of the favorable impression of
the truck whlqb all of us received. To
me the greatest pleasure came from the
unqualified endorsement of the truck made
