Show Gil C, TRUCK PULLS HEM LOAD UP GRADE Skims Over Yale Avenua Hill With 6800 Pounds; Sale Results. "There will be an increase of 100 per cent in the number of sales of G. !M. C. trucks in this territory this year over ! that of 1916 unlorts all fdsrns fail," said K. J. Monroe, western representative of the General Mo too- Truck company, who was visiting the Kamlall-Dodil ' Auto company, local G. M. 0. distributors, last week. ''This prediction is made," continued contin-ued Monroe, ' after the number of trucks soM heae since the first of th year has been taken into consideration. "Not only have repeat orders for G. M. O. tnu'iks shown plainly that there has been growth in almost all lines of business represented iu this section, but those 'who have never before used trucks are. now buying. This prosperity prosper-ity seems to be general. "There has beeu a marked increase, be said, c ' in tho number of G. M. C. trucks thrat have been sold to individuals individ-uals and' concerns engaged in rapid delivery de-livery srrviee, and though the lighter models -of the G. M. C. lino are built for sperd aud facility of handling, the simplicity and pulling power of the heavier models is in proportion to their capacity. "I can state without any fear of anv proof ' to the contrary that a G. M. 0. truck will outpull auy two-wheel drive truck; on the market of the same size and oapacity. ' ' Here is' a little example," said Monroe." Last week wc were demonstrating demon-strating a two-ton G. M. C. truck for a customer. We loaded on GS00 pounds and to the surprise of the man for whom we were making the demonstration, demonstra-tion, we easily took the load over Yale hill. Needless to say the sale was made. "Of course, I am a General Motor Truck company representative and I am vitally interested in seeing the Randall-Dodd Randall-Dodd Auto company sell all the G. M. C. trucks possible, but if you aro looking look-ing at a truck with a view to buying and want to find out if it can really pull, ask the demonstrator to put 6800 pounds on a two-ton model and go over i' Yale hill if he does this he has a good truck, whether it is a G. M. C. truck or not." |
