BMC WAR TICK IS I THE STffiEO TYPE "In war time activities of every sort from transporting ammunition to taking care of the wounded, motor trucks area practically indispensable," stated Tom Davis, salesmanager of the Randall-Dodd Auto company local dealers In GM'J trucks and Bulck and National passenger cars. "When it comes to ambulance work and other problems of transportation for the government. GMC trucks are not only doing their share but are actually bearing the bulk of the burdens not being carried 'by the Liberty trucks which were designed especially for war work. So great is the superiority of GMC trucks that government govern-ment experts, after over a year of careful care-ful tests and Investigations, officially adopted the three-quarter ton GMC chassis for ambulances and for other purposes pur-poses requiring a three-quarter tonner. This means that this particular size of the Liberty truck Is no longer manufactured, manufac-tured, but Is replaced by the three-quarter ton GMC. "Though a record of thia sort made by a commercial truck Is extremely exceptional, excep-tional, it la just what might be expected by a person familiar with GMC construction construc-tion and GMC performance. For many years GMC trucks have demonstrated their turdines8 and dependability by operating successfully In over 300 different kinds of bualnefa all over the United Statea. "Thft use of GMC trucks for government govern-ment work Is by no means new, nor Is it confined to the lighter rnodelH. Right hre in Salt Lake City, there are several of the larger capacity GMC truck used by the engineering sections of the United States' army now stationed at Fort Dearies, "To provide for the enormous requirements require-ments of the government, the General Motors Truck company Ik working under high preaaure, yet the manufacture of GMC truck for purely commercial purposes pur-poses lfl still being continued at whaL Ih very near the normal rate. "We arc therefore able to keep a stock of GMC trucks always on hand, and wo can make immediate delivery on practically prac-tically nil models."
