Many manufacturertTof motor truckg have flour-
ished in good timer and gone out of business
when conditions changed.
Owners of such trucks have been left with
"orphans" on their hand and without a service
station to which they could take their truck for
repairs and replacements. '
On the other hand the truck manufacturer whose
business has been backed by plenty of capital and
whose product has been built on genuine quality
rather than to meet a popular demand is still in
business.
The makers of GMC Trucks have in ten years
of truck building demonstrated the permanency
of their business and the enduring quality of
GMC Trucks.
