Among the 60.0'iO users of Republic trucks in the Tnited States a considerable consid-erable number of coal nv:n can be found who pra I so its performs ne most hiph- v, an.-or'hng to Manager Duncan of the Randall -Republic company, disrributor for Republic trucks in tins territory.

"Tiie Republic truck has been designed , by foremost transportation engineers," he said, "engineers schooled in modern motor transportation requirements, whose : experience dates back to the inception of the industry men who have played an important part in the promotion of the motor truck to its present high standard of efficiency. "In the construction of Republic trucks every piece of material has been standardized stand-ardized and tested. Starting with the , careful inspection of the raw materials, .such as steel, iron, copper, brass, wood, i paint, varnish, rubber, etc., through the process of machining, assembling, finishing finish-ing and testing, competent engineers stand between you and the possibility of your purchasing a Republic truck with a defective part. "In the course of construction every Republic truck unit undergoes rigorous tests at different stages of assembly, so that any possible defect in manufacture is discovered before the next progressive step of finishing the truck has been taken. "After the carefully' tested units have been assembled the- rough chassis is turned over to road7 testers who drive it many miles at all speeds, on good roads and bad, facing practically all road conditions which an actual owner does when he uses the truck. Any necessary adjustments having been made the chassis chas-sis passes to the paint department, after' which the final assembly department I :;h, mounts fenders, body and otir ment.
